I am a fully qualified ADHD specialist with expertise in ADHD coaching, assessment, workshops, and support.
Please be advised that this assessment is not a diagnostic service, but rather a supportive evaluation aimed at facilitating your pursuit of a diagnosis. The assessment will provide a referral to NHS services for official diagnosis.
I employ the internationally recognised ACE and ACE+ assessment process. The duration of the assessment typically ranges from 90 minutes to two hours, depending on the depth of our discussion. By the end of the session, I will provide a comprehensive assessment report and conclusions, which can be presented for diagnosis, whether through the NHS or privately.
Assessments will be conducted via Zoom video call. While participation via video is required, you may choose to disable the self-view option if it enhances your comfort.
During the assessment, we will explore the current impacts of ADHD on your daily life and review historical symptoms from childhood. To ensure a thorough evaluation, additional evidence may be requested from parents, carers, and school reports, which can be discussed prior to the assessment. I will coordinate with schools, parents, and GPs as necessary to gather supporting evidence.
I approach each assessment with a non-judgmental stance, characterised by deep compassion and understanding for each individual's unique circumstances. This personalised approach often surpasses the level of intimacy found in larger service providers. Furthermore, I will offer additional support following the session, where applicable.
To schedule your assessment, please select 'Bookings' from the drop-down menu.
ADHD counselling is an intervention strategy in which a counsellor collaborates with individuals to establish both long-term and short-term goals designed to enhance executive skills, thereby improving self-regulation and goal attainment.
Individuals with ADHD often face challenges related to executive functioning, which includes the following components:
Clients have the flexibility to determine the frequency of counselling sessions, ranging from one to several sessions per week. The aim is to identify areas for change collaboratively, establishing reasonable and attainable goals. We will take incremental steps to learn new methods, reinforcing our understanding of these strategies until they become habitual. The goal of ADHD counselling is to empower clients to progress independently, utilising the skills they have developed.
The appropriate number of sessions varies for each individual. Ideally, counselling should commence with a frequency that allows for substantial engagement; however, I understand that financial considerations may impact this. Interim sessions can be arranged as needed. Longer-term engagement—approximately six months rather than six weeks—is often necessary for meaningful behavioural change. Increased frequency of sessions generally leads to quicker noticeable improvements, though it is important to recognise that developing executive functioning skills requires time and involves gradual yet impactful steps.
I offer counselling for children aged 10 and above, teenagers, adults, parents of children with ADHD, and couples navigating relationships affected by ADHD. It is crucial to note that if a child does not wish to participate in counselling or is unwilling to initiate changes, the process may not be successful. This aspect will be monitored, and parents will be informed accordingly.
Counselling for parents can take place weekly or bi-weekly, focusing on teaching parents how to implement skills and set goals for their child. Essentially, I will guide you in becoming an effective support system for your child.
This approach involves working with couples to explore the implications of ADHD, educating both partners on the condition, and collaboratively setting goals while fostering mutual understanding and support.
The notion that one is too old to learn new things is a common myth. Change is possible at any age! While we recommend early intervention due to the ease of learning during younger years, individuals of all ages can achieve significant changes in thinking and functioning. If you are open to learning and wish to see progress, it is entirely achievable. The brain is capable of continual change throughout life, allowing for the formation of new memories and the acquisition of new skills. Adopting a growth mindset is essential to this journey.
