Adult Autism & ADHD Assessments

My style of assessment is person-centered, compassionate, detailed, and aimed at getting to the heart of who you are. I am always interested in your deep internal experiences and perceptions of the world, and your sense of self; never prioritising scores or checklists. I am skilled in weighing up mental health needs, trauma, and physical health needs alongside neurodivergence. I am neuro-affirming in my approach and will always focus on strengths and skills alongside needs and challenges. Masking and the impact of this will always be considered carefully.

Assessment will cover: Review of any existing reports or clinical information; questionnaires you or loved ones complete prior to your assessment; a semi-structured developmental history interview on the day with me (supplemented by the DISCO assessment framework if required); a feedback session in which we discuss the outcome, your strengths, difficulties & needs; and recommendations for further support / signposting to information and services. You will receive an emailed PDF report which summarises the findings of the assessment.

Assessments can be completed in a comfortable office space in Middlesbrough, or we can meet for online assessment from anywhere in the UK.

Psychological therapy for adults

I am trained in EMDR therapy and work in an integrative/blended way, informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) ideas.

We will collaborate together on a treatment plan and the work will be personalised and tailored to you, adapted for any needs you have for example relating to neurodivergence or physical health needs. I am confident in making Reasonable Adjustments with you to support your therapy experience.

Therapy can be done in a comfortable office space in Middlesbrough, or we can meet for online therapy from anywhere in the UK.

Training sessions for your organisation

Get in touch if you want training for your organisation around supporting your staff or customers/service users in areas such as:

• Mental health and trauma-informed care

• Being accessible and supportive for neurodivergent differences (Autism and ADHD)

• Staff wellbeing

I have several years experience of delivering training in various settings, examples including NHS staff, social care staff, within gyms with fitness instructors, and HR departments

Training will be bespoke and tailored to what your team is looking for

Training can be delivered online if preferred. We can also have face-to-face training in the North-East, or I am able to travel for training (within approx. 100 miles of Teesside). For face-to-face training, costs for travel and venue will be discussed with you on providing the quote.
