Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Assessments
ADHD and Autism assessments for adults 18+. I am trained in the MIGDAS-2 and ADOS-2.
My support is grounded in the following modalities
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is psychotherapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems. It targets your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a psychotherapy approach that aims to help you cope with everyday and extraordinary challenges by developing specific skills. The main DBT skills are mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. DBT is a modified type of CBT.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) + Flash Technique
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It can be used with depression, anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, phobias, traumas + more. For some clients, I will use Flash instead of the standard EMDR protocol.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems℠ (IFS℠) is a therapeutic model that views every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts guided by a core ‘self’. IFS helps people access their undamaged, compassionate Self, which knows how to heal, and from that inner leadership, understand and transform their parts, fostering both inner and outer connectedness.
Psychodynamic therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the internal, unconscious mental forces that we are largely unaware of. These processes drive emotions, personality and behaviour.
Attachment-based Therapy
Attachment-based psychotherapy addresses the limiting effects of negative early attachment experiences. We work together to strengthen the capacity for secure relationships so you are better able to communicate openly and accurately. This will lead to more adaptive feelings, thoughts, and behaviours in life.
