Eating Disorders Diagnosis and Treatment
I am dedicated to diagnosing and offering evidence-based treatment for individuals struggling with these complex conditions. My approach includes comprehensive assessments, utilising psychological and medical data, along with in-depth interviews to establish an accurate diagnosis. Once diagnosed, I provide tailored treatment plans, which may include cognitive-behavioural therapy - Enhanced (CBT-ED), dialectical-behaviour therapy (DBT), or other evidence-based interventions.
I work collaboratively with individuals to address the emotional and behavioural aspects of their eating disorders, fostering healthier relationships with food and body image. By offering support to both clients and their families and working alongside the client's GP for medical monitoring, I aim to guide individuals towards recovery, improved health, and a more positive relationship with food and self.
ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment
I specialise in providing comprehensive assessments and evidence-based interventions aimed at effectively managing ADHD symptoms. My approach is versatile, tailored to address the unique needs of both children and adults facing this neurodevelopmental disorder.
In my practice, I place a strong emphasis on enhancing coping strategies, equipping individuals with the tools to better manage the daily challenges associated with ADHD. This includes strategies to improve focus and attention, develop effective time-management skills, and enhance organizational abilities. These coping strategies are not only practical but also serve as a foundation for fostering overall well-being and a higher quality of life.
With my deep understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders, I am well-equipped to navigate the complexities of ADHD. My goal extends beyond symptom management; it's about empowering individuals with ADHD to thrive and succeed in all aspects of their lives. This means not just addressing the immediate symptoms, but also fostering personal growth, self-confidence, and the development of skills that can lead to long-term success and well-being.
Emotion Regulation Therapy for Children with ASD
I deliver highly specialised therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing on the crucial area of emotion regulation. Within my practice, I implement tailored interventions that are specifically designed to support children with ASD in their journey towards developing essential emotion regulation skills.
Collaboration is key in my approach. I work closely with children and their parents, recognising that effective support extends beyond individual therapy sessions. Together, we explore and address the unique emotional needs of each child, working to better understand, express, and ultimately manage their emotions. By creating a safe and nurturing environment, I provide the necessary guidance to help these children build effective strategies that allow them to navigate their emotional world with greater ease and confidence.
The ultimate aim of my work is to enhance the overall well-being of children with ASD. These improved emotion regulation skills not only contribute to a higher quality of life but also foster more positive and successful social interactions, enabling these children to thrive and achieve their fullest potential.
Trauma
My expertise also lies in trauma-informed therapy, where I provide compassionate and dedicated support to individuals who have experienced trauma. I am committed to assisting my clients in their journey towards healing and recovery.
Within my practice, I rely on evidence-based interventions to guide clients through the process of processing and healing from traumatic experiences. This approach is designed to empower individuals to regain control over their lives and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity. It is my firm belief that with the right support and therapeutic interventions, individuals can not only overcome the impact of trauma but emerge from it stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to face life's challenges.
Sense of Self
Therapy is a transformative journey towards understanding, accepting, and nurturing one's sense of self. Through introspection, self-exploration, and supportive guidance, therapy helps individuals uncover their core beliefs, values, and identity. This process fosters self-awareness, self-esteem, and a more profound connection with one's true self. Therapy empowers individuals to build a stronger and healthier sense of self, leading to greater self-confidence, authenticity, and a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety
Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals struggling with anxiety. Through various therapeutic approaches, we work together to identify the root causes of anxiety, develop coping strategies, and foster a sense of control. With evidence-based interventions, therapy equips individuals with the tools and techniques needed to manage anxiety, improve overall well-being, and regain a sense of peace and balance in their lives.
Depression
Therapy offers a path to healing and recovery for individuals experiencing depression. By providing a compassionate and non-judgmental space, therapy helps individuals explore the underlying causes of their depression, develop effective coping strategies, and work towards a brighter future. Evidence-based therapeutic interventions empower individuals to regain hope, improve mood, and find a renewed sense of purpose and joy in their lives.
