Before beginning the process of assessment and identification for ADHD and/or Autism, we will meet for 75 minutes to discuss your experiences.

The aim of this consultation is to explore your reasons for seeking a diagnosis, consider the impact of receiving or not receiving a diagnosis at the end of the process, and exploring whether there may be a different explanation for differences you experience.

UPDATE 31/10/26: I currently have a waiting lists for clients seeking regular therapy.

The first step in psychological therapy is to start to consider your goals for therapy. We will meet for 1 hour to explore what has brought you to seek out therapy, what you would want to work on in therapy, and whether I am the right person to do that work with you.

By the end of the hour, we will have a plan of what to do next, whether this means booking in for further therapy appointments, signpost you towards other services that could be more useful, or share resources that you can work through in your own time.

Therapy sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually booked on a weekly basis. You will be offered a regular slot, and time-keeping is important. I endeavour to be on time for your appointments, and ask that you are too.

I offer a comprehensive psychological assessment to explore differences associated with ADHD, while also discussing other aspects of your history and mental health.

The assessment is broken down over two appointments, one lasting 2 hours and the other lasting 1 hour.

When possible, I like to meet with an informant, someone who knows you well, in a separate 1 hour interview. The aim of this is to get their perception of any differences. A parent or caregiver is the preferred informant, as this can provide information from early childhood.

The final part of the process is to meet, approximately 3 weeks after your assessment, to discuss the results and feedback from the assessment. I will have a report ready for you to take away, as well as various resources and recommendations.

The assessment is spread across two appointments, with the first lasting 2 hours and the second lasting 1 hour. I do not use an observation schedule during the assessment, instead using a semi-structured interview based on the diagnostic criteria for Autism to explore different traits and characteristics.
