& ADHD Coaching

Tailored to you. 

Modern city living can be very stressful

Modern life can feel relentless.

You might be holding it together on the outside, but inside, it feels like too much.

Racing thoughts. Constant pressure.
Cycles of overwhelm, shutdown, or burnout.

For many people, this isn’t just stress.
It’s your nervous system under strain, often shaped by past experiences, patterns, or ADHD.

But it does not have to be this way

I offer therapy and ADHD coaching to help you understand what’s going on, and find a way forward that works for you.

How I work

Most need a combination of both.

Why Befriend ADHD?

ADHD is often misunderstood.

It’s not just about attention.
It affects motivation, emotion, energy, and how you relate to yourself.

Many people I work with are:

  • high functioning, but exhausted
  • capable, but inconsistent
  • driven, but overwhelmed

Befriend ADHD is an approach that combines:

  • practical coaching
  • psychological understanding
  • nervous system awareness
  • self-compassion

So you can move from fighting your brain to working with it

Laura Villa Chartered Clinical Psychologist and founder of City Living Psychology

Hi, I’m Laura Villa

 

Clinical Psychologist, Trauma Therapist, and ADHD Coach

I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out, often while appearing to cope on the outside.

My work is grounded in psychology, but focused on real life.

I’m particularly interested in how stress, trauma, and ADHD interact beneath the surface.

Rather than treating these as separate problems, I work with the patterns that connect them, helping you find a more stable, sustainable way of living.
