Psychological Therapy

The aim of psychological therapy is to improve psychological wellbeing by enhancing self-awareness, developing coping strategies, and promoting positive change. Whatever you are experiencing, having a safe space to explore these difficulties can help you to live a more fulfilling life. We will initially work to understand your difficulties and decide on what you want to work towards. I will use a personalised approach, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches to work towards your goals. 

NEURODEVELOPMENTAL Assessment (Autism & ADHD)

As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer comprehensive assessments that go beyond merely determining a diagnosis. My approach focuses on understanding your strengths, challenges, and specific support needs. This holistic assessment provides valuable insights that can inform tailored interventions at home and across other settings, including work or education. I do not make diagnostic decisions based on the results of single assessments; I feel it is important to build a relationship with you and to fully understand your presentation and needs. As a psychologist I have extensive training and experience in Autism, as well as in co-occurring differences and difficulties including ADHD, learning disabilities, mental health, trauma, attachment difficulties, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and specific learning difficulties (e.g dyslexia).  It is important to me that my assessment is neuroaffirmative, and therefore I focus on the strengths you present with, as well as acknowledging the areas you would benefit from support. My assessments as NICE-compliant, using "Gold Standard" assessment tools. These assessments offer an MDT approach and I have links with a prescriber for ADHD medication.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Specialist and complex psychological assessments can be helpful in understanding yourself or your child better. This may be helpful where there are concerns about learning, work, or relationship difficulties. In one or two sessions, we can work to develop an understanding of specific difficulties you are experiencing and create bespoke recommendations to move forwards. I am experienced in providing specialist psychological assessments, including neuropsychological & neurodevelopmental assessments, for adults and children (including autism & ADHD). 

consultation

If you need help making sense of one particular problem or difficulty, psychological consultation may be helpful. Sometimes one or two sessions can assist individuals, families and organisations to think about difficulties from a psychological perspective and work collaboratively toward finding a way forward. A consultation can help to bring clarity to challenges and may prevent difficulties by bringing about awareness, navigating life changes, and enhancing overall wellbeing. Book here.
