Working through ADHD, Psychotherapy, and Finding your Power with Gina McClement

Kintsugi Heroes: Uncovering our Hidden Value

Gina McClement has a story of resilience and her dedication to healing and helping others. She grew up in a structured, education-centric environment, which fostered critical thinking, but as a child, she experienced a high conflict separation between her parents.

Despite a privileged education, Gina grew up with undiagnosed ADHD not receiving a diagnosis until her early forties. Her early challenges influenced her empathy and insight into the neurodiverse experiences of her clients.

Gina has undergone over 25 years of therapy which allowed her to connect deeply with herself and recognise the power of healing.

Gina achieved significant success in marketing and sports marketing. However, after a 20-year corporate career and the challenges of motherhood she experienced burnout. So Gina flipped and followed her passion, founding Living In Bloom, a private mind therapy practice where her client promise is - "Grow Into You."

In her practice Gina focuses on neurodiverse individuals. She emphasises relational healing, attachment theory, and the impact of early childhood experiences. Gina is driven by her belief, that it is everyone's right to love themselves wholeheartedly, and she walks alongside her clients who are on this journey.
