'I felt heard for the first time in my life. I took my mask off and just allowed my truth out.' Beth Vic.

'I had been trying to explain my ADHD symptoms to my GP for years. I must have sounded dumb to him cause I was trying to describe what I now know as ADHD task paralysis. He ended up giving me a script for depression instead.The tablets didn't work and made me feel sick.​ I went to see a different GP who knew about ADHD. I finally got diagnosed through a psychiatrist (which took months) and was put on ADHD medication. However once that diagnosis was done, there was no support. I had heard about The ADHD Clinic through a friend and decided to start learning about it and what I could do next. I then went to see The ADHD Clinic - well, by Telehealth which was just as good as being in person cause I had my doubts about counselling through a screen. Once you connect via the internet it's like sitting in the same room anyway. So I'm a believer in Telehealth now too. It took thirty years for someone to finally listen to me though and I'm like why was it so hard for a GP to understand that this was what I now know as typical female ADHD? Maybe they need to make longer appointments with GPs so that they can listen to what people are saying. Maybe they need to train GPs better in what female ADHD looks like. I'm now starting again at 63 and no-one has the right to say 'why would you even bother at your age?' I'm perfectly capable at 63 and want to make my last few decades my best. That's why. I'm finally properly medicated and starting to learn about how I can live with my ADHD from a really caring and kind human being. The ADHD Clinic has been supportive and patient with me which is what I've needed. Space to tell my story. Juliette is also like really clever with lots of degrees which I could never get and has designed all this new stuff which actually helps people. Thank you Juliette for starting this clinic and I hope lots of people hear about it because your method works and it's very much needed out here in the real world where we are all just trying to find our way. I like the way she keeps everything real cause she has ADHD herself and she gets it. Sandra WA.

Juliette was very easy to talk to and made me have to pause a few times and really think about the situation in a different light. Juliette is very caring and her love and knowledge shines through. Amelia. Qld.
I was discarded by my narcissistic husband when I was six weeks pregnant. He walked out one night after having been in another relationship for 8 months behind my back. It was the most painful experience I'd ever been through. Lots of verbal and emotional abuse in the weeks leading up to the discard. He laughed when I would start crying and told me my red face looked like a tomato. I told him I was pregnant and he replied 'don't expect me to love you just because you are pregnant.' Then he moved into the house he'd built with this woman behind my back. I felt shattered in every possible way. Like as if he had broken me into a million pieces that I couldn't find. I was a single mum for six years and worked four jobs. He never asked to see his daughter once and never paid child support. Juliette helped me work through my complicated feelings and the fact that it wasn't my fault. I found out I was suffering from trauma. I'm rebuilding my life with support. It's slow, but I'm getting there. One day I want to feel like I'm on the other side. I'm finding all the pieces of me again but I know I'll never be the same version as I was before. Juliette allows me to tell my story in a safe place where I don't feel scared to admit my real feelings.

I got married probs too quick and then couldn't work things out. I was always there for my partner doing stuff to make her happy. She would run when we argued though. Or would stop speaking to me for days on end as a punishment. I felt confused and was getting depressed.
Had a few Telehealth appointments with Juliette and they helped. I learned more about communication and how stonewalling was a form of abuse. After the appointments I realised that this wasn't my problem and if my partner didn't want to change then I shouldn't bother any more. I ended up leaving. Gave it a good amount of time for some changes. She refused counselling. Was wasting my energy and time in the end. Best decision I ever made but still hurt like anything at how she was able to think shutting me out was a good communication idea. I'm now single as I work out how not to jump in to relationships so fast cause she also took half of everything and left me broke. Ben. Central Coast.
I had a boss who was playing psychological games with me at work. Promised me projects that never eventuated. Got me working hundreds of hours on projects that were never going anywhere. I felt like an idiot when I realised he was just stringing me along to make himself look better. I then go burnout and ended up in bed for three weeks feeling like I was having a nervous breakdown. Juliette explained about people pleasing. This is what I was doing and he spotted that weakness in me. Eventually I went back to work and then stopped letting him play the game. I felt better. Had to throw all the work I had done in the bin, but the counselling process taught me a lesson. Some people are looking for victims. I changed jobs two months later to make sure I never had to deal with him again and now know what red flags look like. Thank you to Juliette for explaining how I got myself into that predicament and how not to get fooled/used again. She also explained that boundaries only work when there isn't a power indifference. Look out for red flags when being interviewed is what I learned and ask the right questions during your interview to see what your boss is like. If they are acting like you are there to be used, don't take the job. Samara. Qld.
Fresh late ADHD diagnosis, middle aged male – two teens & a new baby, self-employed & drowning! Any takers? I am blessed to have explored several counselling sessions with Juliette. Being medicated, explored psychology sessions elsewhere; ultimately feeling unsupported, relationship on the rocks & suffering very low self-worth.​“The genuine care, compassion, support, knowledge & insight; has led to self-growth & value in many areas – Absolutely Amazing & Wonderful”.​Holding a complex assortment of experiences, beliefs, feelings, unidentified traumas, physically experiencing major stress symptoms & complete overwhelm; I feel Juliette had a difficult task ahead. The exploration took many changes in directions, often at a rapid pace. Juliette created a caring, safe & supporting environment I have not quite experienced before. She allowed me to express, be present and jump between topics in my ADHD rambling way often at great speed! A truly gifted expert supported this, whilst in reflection she steered, paused & resolved beautifully.​“I have to remind you, I have ADHD;” Juliette expressed once; I chuckle to myself recalling. Any counsellor would have been completely overwhelmed at that point; I feel her ADHD gave her the ability & insights to make it further than anyone else could. Juliette has ADHD. Juliette knows the beautiful gifts it provides and respects the areas of ADHD that need a little extra consideration & care. She really empowers ADHD with a strength that is simply special. Thankfully I have been able to hold some of this feeling since our sessions; this feeling is priceless to me. I desire to embrace ADHD the way Juliette does.​This gift combined with extensive knowledge; amazing people skills & genuine care makes an amazing practitioner that I hope anyone struggling with ADHD is able to experience.​Over several sessions we explored trauma, overwhelm, adrenal response, stress, family needs and effective staging / correct communication, making time / space / present / grounding, being me / respecting & being respected (I am who I am, who I was), holding / being with emotions.​I have a long way to go, however the comfort, hope, curiosity and self-empowerment I’ve gained is life changing. ​Juliette - you are amazing, authentic & truly on your correct path. Thank You so much and I look forward to working more with you in the future. Tom NSW.
The main issue I wanted to discuss, was the clashing emotions I was experiencing at having received my diagnosis at 50 years of age. While grateful to finally receive a diagnosis on the one hand, I was also angry at having been missed and misdiagnosed my entire life. Juliette helped me to process these difficult feelings in a safe and nurturing environment, and even helped me arrive at an epiphany that has assisted me in removing negative self-beliefs.I have to add, knowing that Juliette has ADHD herself, was the most important aspect in my decision to go ahead with the sessions. ADHD symptoms can often be difficult to articulate, and just knowing that she has the advantage of lived experience, removed any trepidation I may have had otherwise.Juliette’s strength lies in her ability to make you feel truly heard, with the complete absence of unbalanced power dynamics. I am a firm believer in the efficacy of collaborative care, which Juliette delivers in spades. I have seen several therapists over the years, and Juliette was definitely one of the best. Her clients will be extremely lucky to have her. Angie Vic.
I found it very easy to talk to Juliette about personal things and although I had done what I consider to be a huge amount of work on myself, with the help of 6 different professionals, from psychiatrists to counsellors, she was able to show me a new method of neural plasticity, which I'll be adding to my arsenal of helpful methods.

'Juliette got us talking again in a positive way, instead of talking 'at' each other. We're moving forward in the right direction because to be honest? I couldn't see a future with my partner the way things were going. Now there is hope. It's not roses yet, but it also isn't as bad. Jenna Tas.
I have never met anyone with so many qualifications lol. It shows. She knows her stuff. I'm so much happier because Juliette took the time to understand my reality and we undertook some Telehealth sessions. She cuts through all the mumbo jumble and finds out what's wrong, and I like that direct approach. I appreciate the fact that she doesn't spout psychological babble at me. She connects on a really deep and genuine level. I learned more about myself and I'm nearly sixty. James. London.
Juliette gave it a name - word salad. Every conversation was mixed up. I would be talking and he would deliberately then throw back at me something I hadn't said.Then I'd be trying to defend myself. I felt like I was going crazy. A simple request to explain something and he'd be accusing me of everything. I never knew what he was doing until Juliette explained it. Now I can tell when he throws in stuff to get me confused and throw me off. I know when to walk away. I've learned not to take his bait. Ange. Qld.
