Anti-Fix Alignment Therapy

An ADHD-affirming therapy approach focused on understanding yourself and designing a life that fits

Who is this for?

  • You have ADHD or AuDHD (diagnosed or self-identified).

​ 

  • You want clarity on your needs, preferences, values, and limits.​

​ 

  • You’re questioning your work, relationships, finances, home organisation, or health - and wondering what needs to change.​​​

 â€‹

  • You feel you have more potential than your current life reflects 

​ 

  • You’re stressed, stretched, or hovering near burnout.

​ 

  • You’ve tried planners, systems, routines, strategies, and hacks… and you’re tired of trying to fix yourself.​

​ â€‹â€‹â€‹

  • You’ve spent years adapting to people, expectations, and environments - and you’re ready to design life around what actually suits you.

The Anti-Fix Alignment Process

Clarity & Choice We begin with the Alignment Snapshot to understand where your life fits, where it doesn’t, and which areas you want to prioritise first.

Flexible & Self-Led - The process is flexible and guided by you - priorities can shift, and nothing is forced or one-size-fits-all.

Paced & Sustainable - We work at a pace that suits you, is sustainable, and focuses on what matters most now - rather than trying to fix everything at once.

Why work with me?

I genuinely want to get to know you - where you’ve been, what’s shaped you, and what you want - so we can work together to design a life that fits.

Who this work may not be for This approach is gentle, reflective, and focused on fit rather than force. It’s not designed for quick fixes, rigid systems, or being pushed harder. Change can happen quickly when things finally make sense. Sometimes it’s gradual. Both are valid here. This work works best if you’re open to reflection and gentle experimentation. If that doesn’t feel right for you at the moment, this may not be the best support right now. If you’re in active crisis, feeling unsafe, or experiencing suicidal thoughts, this isn’t the right support at this moment. You deserve immediate, specialised care.

The Aligned Ecology Model

The Aligned Ecology Model shows how wellbeing is shaped by alignment within each area of your life, and between your inner and outer worlds.

​

At the centre is Alignment.

​

Alignment isn’t about perfection or productivity - it’s about fit. It’s a direction rather than a destination, something you return to and refine as your life changes.

​

Supporting alignment are two foundations:

Self-Awareness - understanding your needs, patterns, limits, values, and inner signals.
Self-Relationship - how you relate to yourself day to day, including how you listen inward, make decisions, and respond with trust, compassion, humour, and respect.

​​These foundations support your Inner Ecology - your mind, body, emotions, and energy - reflecting what’s happening inside you.

​

Your Outer Ecology reflects what’s happening around you: relationships, home, work and purpose, and finances. These are your Good-Fit Environments - conditions that can either support or drain your inner system.

​

Encircling everything is Wellbeing, experienced through Ease, Joy, and Fulfilment. These aren’t goals to chase - they’re signals that alignment is increasing.

​

When there’s misalignment, life feels effortful, even when you’re capable and insightful. As alignment grows, life doesn’t become perfect - but it can become easier. Energy lasts longer. Capacity shows up more consistently.

​

This model isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding where things fit, where they don’t, and redesigning from there.

The Anti-Fix Approach

The Aligned Ecology Model is the map. The Anti-Fix Approach is the process. We apply the Anti-Fix Approach in each area of your life. There are 4 stages.

Anti-Fix Approach v4 - AFA ONLY.jpg

The What - We slow down and notice what’s actually happening, inside you and around you. We pay attention to friction and flow, energy, emotions, body signals, and patterns - without judgement or trying to fix anything yet.

Anti-Fix Approach v4 - AFA ONLY.jpg

The Why - We explore why certain areas feel hard or draining, and why others flow more easily. This might involve inner patterns or parts, past experiences, beliefs, or outer factors like systems, relationships, or environments. Often it’s a mix of both.

Anti-Fix Approach v4 - AFA ONLY.jpg

The How - Based on what you now understand, we explore what could work better. This is a creative, pressure-free stage where we design options that reduce friction and support more ease, both internally and externally

The Lived Practice - You gently bring these designs into real life, noticing what supports flow and what doesn’t. Alignment acts like a compass, not a destination - helping you orient, adjust, and realign as life changes.

Foundations of the Anti-Fix Alignment Approach 

This approach draws on over 24 years of combined clinical and research experience in psychology, alongside formal training, lived experience, and a dedicated focus on supporting women with ADHD.​

You don’t need to read this to get started - it’s here for those who enjoy understanding the theory behind how things work Systems & Ecological Psychology Understanding wellbeing as emerging from the interaction between individuals and their environments - inner and outer ecologies, fit and misfit, and dynamic systems rather than isolated problems. Neurodiversity-Affirming & ADHD Psychology Grounded in contemporary ADHD research and the neurodiversity paradigm, focusing on strengths, needs, context, executive functioning, and sustainable supports rather than deficit or compliance models. Nervous System & Somatic Awareness Informed by trauma-aware, nervous-system-informed, and somatic approaches that recognise the impact of chronic stress, masking, and misfit environments on regulation, energy, and capacity. Parts-Based & Pattern-Oriented Approaches Drawing on parts-informed and schema-aware models to understand protective patterns, habits, and inner dynamics with curiosity and compassion rather than judgement. Cognitive, Behavioural & Narrative Models Integrating evidence-based cognitive, behavioural, and constructivist approaches to support awareness, meaning-making, small experiments, and real-world change. Values, Meaning & Existential Psychology Informed by humanistic, existential, and values-based frameworks that support identity, purpose, contribution, and fulfilment - especially during periods of transition or realignment. Behaviour Change & Self-Regulation Research Grounded in research on habit formation, self-monitoring, feedback loops, and implementation intentions, supporting realistic, low-pressure change over time. Integrative & Contextual Practice An integrative, evidence-based approach that draws selectively from multiple psychological traditions, applied within each person’s lived context rather than as a one-size-fits-all method.
