Diana van Walsum

Hi! I'm Diana, a native English-speaking Registered Counsellor (BACP) in Europe, providing counselling & coaching for adults with ADHD and AuDHD, as well as ADHD Parent Coaching. As an ADHD adult and a parent, I understand the day-to-day challenges and also the upsides of living life while neurodivergent. My biggest "why" is helping you find out what helps *you* (individually) function at your best, so you can: > stop being thrown off course by repeated daily stressors > have a strong foundation of calm > achieve your most deeply-held goals > and live according to the values that matter to you. I have worked with neurodivergent adults for the past 7 years , and have up-to-date training in ADHD, autism, and ADHD Parent Coaching. I am a Registered Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). (Please note that as a Registered Counsellor and not a Psychologist, I do not provide diagnoses). Based in Rome, I also see (expat) clients online in Berlin, Amsterdam, the UK, and Hong Kong, among others. From a mixed international background (Dutch and Malaysian-Chinese), I grew up in several different countries on three continents, and am a mum to two primary-school-aged children. My counselling style is open-minded, flexible, collaborative, and supportive. We might be a good fit if you are looking for: - A warm, 'human', down-to-earth approach (with a sense of humour when appropriate) - A neurodiversity-affirmative approach, supporting you in exploring, embracing, and taking care of your unique needs, challenges, strengths and ways of being - A flexible and responsive, yet structured and practical, approach (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to get in touch for an intro call, or to ask me any questions you may have.
