FAQs @ The ADHD Psychologist

  • ADHD-therapist

    Do you see people who aren't diagnosed ADHD?

    Absolutely. I see people with many diagnoses and none. I work with you as a whole person while keeping neurodiversity and ADHD in mind where relevant. If you find I speak to you in some way I'd be happy to hear from you, and we’ll see if I might be a good fit to offer you something of what you need.

  • adhd-child-psychologist

    How many sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions we work together for will depend on what you want to gain from therapy, your needs, preferences, and resources. It can be a ‘you get out of it what you put in’ kind of process.

    Usually within the first three sessions we’ll come to a shared decision about your course of therapy. I offer short-term (12-20 sessions) and long-term/open-ended therapy.

  • adhd-psychology

    Can I arrange fortnightly or monthly sessions?

    A commitment to weekly therapy is really needed for the therapeutic process. Depending on your personal needs, in some circumstances we’ll agree to fortnightly sessions after a period of at least 12 weekly sessions. The intention behind this is to support the adjustment period in bringing sessions to an end.

  • adhd-diagnosis-woking

    Do you offer ADHD assessments?

    Our ADHD specialist therapists offer pre and post-diagnostic support.

    If you're ready to pursue an assessment, our ADHD assessment providers offer comprehensive private ADHD assessments for adults and young people aged 6+, available online or in Guildford and Leatherhead.

    Delivered by highly specialist assessment providers following NICE guidance, each assessment provides diagnostic clarity, a detailed report, and support to find your practical path forward for meaningful change.

  • adhd-coaching

    Do you offer coaching?

    I offer therapy rather than coaching. If you’re looking for more practical support in the context of ADHD, you might wish to look into ADHD coaching.

    The therapy I offer is intended to address the deeper roots of emotional wellbeing struggles, in the context of ADHD where relevant, to experience lasting transformations in your wellbeing.

    You can find a more extensive response to this question in my ‘About Me’ section.

  • adhd-support

    Do you offer relationship therapy?

    I don’t currently offer relationship therapy.

    I do offer therapy for individuals who are navigating difficulties in their relationships in the context of neurodivergence.

  • An adult woman and a young girl are hugging each other against a textured brick wall. The woman has short curly red hair, wears pearl earrings, and a black shirt. The girl has short curly dark hair and is also in a black shirt.

    Do you offer parent-child work?

    With young people I offer one-to-one therapy where the space is solely for the young person. Sometimes it can be helpful to bring you, as their parent, into the session for short periods of time, for example if the young person would like support in communicating something difficult with you. I’m very happy to support on these occasions.

    If you’re looking for parent support for your neurodivergent child, check out how our ADHD specialist partners can help.

  • adhd-therapy

    Where do you cover for online therapy?

    I offer online therapy wherever you are in the world. The only exceptions are that I don’t currently offer online therapy to those who live in the USA or Canada. This is due to insurance limitations.
