What these sessions might look like?

Understanding your diagnosis

These sessions are to help provide you with a clearer understanding of what your diagnosis of ADHD or Autism (ASD) means and the areas of your life that it affects. This will offer you support on navigating the areas that you find challenging.

Evidence based support

Our support comes in the form of individual sessions with a Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner. This support will be based on evidence-based practice which may integrate CBT, DBT, systematic therapy and other treatment modalities that will be bespoke to the individual.

Working with families

We also work with the whole family, especially parents, to equip them with strategies that will enable them to address behaviours that are challenging. Our aim is to support you to cope better with the ever-evolving landscape that plays out alongside a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism.
