Counselling and Psychotherapy Service
A very warm welcome to you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Misunderstood, or stuck trying to navigate life?
Many of my clients are autistic, ADHD or neurodivergent, and come when they need a space to talk, wish for change, or reach a crisis point. You do not have to face things alone - we can work through this together.
Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time, and today is your turn.
You're very welcome to get in touch here.
I am a recommended supplier with Provisions Plus+, and you can find me at Send Connect and Counselling Directory/val-mcfadden

Counselling for Autism / ADHD and Neurodivergent Adults and Young People near Coventry & Online UK
Hello, I'm Val. I am a warm, approachable counsellor offering flexible therapy: in-person, walk & talk, online and email support.
I specialise in trauma and supporting neurodivergent clients, autistic and ADHD individuals. I support clients navigating anxiety, identity, self-esteem or life transitions. My clients come to me when they feel overwhelmed or misunderstood, and seek a space where they can simply "be themselves" without judgment.
I am a former Childline and secondary school counsellor, and you can find out more about My Approach here. I am a registered BACP member - Val McFadden Profile and hold an enhanced DBS for Adults and CYP (Children and Young People).
Everyone needs and deserves a helping hand from time to time, and it can take a lot of courage to take that step. I would be privileged to take that step with you.
Choice and flexibility are important aspects of my service, because every client is individual and unique.
I can offer a diverse range of therapeutic options, including a registered therapy dog with Canine Concern, and I bring my experiences before becoming a counsellor within the social housing and education sectors, as well as my training with Childline, School, and an Adult Counsellor. You are most welcome to explore my website and socials and reach out when it feels right for you.
