Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I live between the UK
and Singapore, working
internationally as a counsellor.
My journey
The job that unexpectedly changed my life.
In 2007 I took a job which changed the course of my life. I worked at a local Hospice - supporting and working alongside the amazing patients and staff - coordinating wellbeing events and patient information initiatives. I came into contact and made lifelong friendswith people who were counsellors, OT's, physiotherapist, chaplains, holistic therapists and information teams.
Here my slightly weird set of skills started to develop - creating efficient processes, creating materials, marketing, connecting people and finding better ways to do things.
This environment gave me so many opportunities to grow and learn - I was part of a group introducing a LEAN Six Sigma initiative and became a qualified PRINCE 2 project manager.
Macmillan Cancer Support
My ambition to experience a role in a bigger charity led me to work for Macmillan Cancer Support - one of the UK's largest charities. Here I covered three counties - working with patients and clinical staff to make changes to cancer expriences in the community and medical settings.hat would make cancer treatment and life easier for people with cancer.
Psychotherapy training
During those five years, I completed my psychotherapy training and set up a small private practice after work hours. After covid hit, some big life changes happened - I put all my focus into developing my counselling private practice in the UK, Spain (where I lived for a while) and then Singapore.
Singapore Life
Establishing myself as a British Counsellor in Singapore over the past 5 yearshas been filled with opportunities and new avenues to explore.
It gave me time to develop my abstract art practice, taking part in pop ups, going on art retreats in Bali and running workshops to help women find their creative flow!
While here I have also had to deal with many challenges - like many expats being away from my children even though fully grown up - and an unexpected endometrial cancer diagnosis and hysterectomy, which although all good now completely changed how I saw myself and the world.
ADHD impact
At the same time, my personal life was taking an unexpected turn when my husband received his ADHD diagnosis. It made a lot of our marriage suddenly make sense which we both had to emotionally process.
Like many partners of adults with ADHD, I found myself searching for answers. Together, we began learning how to manage symptoms, improve communication and navigate the often confusing world of ADHD support.
My ADHD mission!
The lack of clear information and tailored support sent me on a new challnege to learn as much as I could through study, talking to other adults, families and partners impacted by ADHD and create something that would feel helpful.
Anyone who is in this situation knows how stressful and difficult it can be when people with different neurostyles don't feel heard or understood. It can so easily destroy family or marriage relationships. I was so close myself - but with lots of experience have found a way through to happy times.
My mission is to help others who are trying to live better with ADHD in their lives.
