Olivia Mackay Therapy Olivia Mackay I am an ADHD psychotherapist and counsellor working with children, adolescents and adults.

Sentient Professional WellBeing ADHD and ASD can have a significant impact on daily life, including work or school performance, relationships, self-esteem, and overall quality of life, and can often result in unresolved trauma in adolescence and adulthood.
