I have over 30 years experience working in the NHS in mental health and addiction. I use tried and tested evidence based techniques. My approach and material is adapted to be “ADHD” friendly and is shared at the end for the session via WhatsApp or e-mail. My approach is very practical and is not therapy or counselling. If you need additional support I can help signpost you and talk you through the options. My approach is warm, practical, forward looking and builds on your strengths. It aims to help you make sense of your current situation, increase your feeling of control and help you be build on your on your resilience.
All sessions are adapted for your needs. However, work with me should help you to:
- Have a greater understanding about what factors influence why you respond in situations and how you can make changes
- Have tools you can use to increase your coping, resilience and wellbeing
- Understand what motivation is and ways to cultivate and sustain it.
- Have a greater sense of self and of your wellbeing
- Have a plan to how you will sustain changes made
There is an element of trial and error as “a shoe that fits one man pinches another” (Karl Jung). I will introduce you to different styles of tools to help you discover what works for you and how to monitor your progress. Additional material is sent at the end of each session which is ADHD friendly- clear, concise & visually appealing.
