Some people want clarification around whether a particular diagnosis is present or not. I offer assessment and diagnosis for a range of Disorders. This generally takes 3 - 4 sessions.
I will use tests and questionnaires, observations and an informal Interview to determine diagnosis. I endeavour to make this process as safe and supportive as possible. An opportunity to discuss concerns or nerves will be a start point.
​
A treatment plan and ongoing therapy is optional depending on your diagnosis and my availability.
​
Please note, I can screen for ADHD and provide indication about whether or not ADHD needs further exploration. I cannot formally diagnose ADHD as this diagnosis requires psychiatrist assessment. I do not provide screening or assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
​
If you would like an assessment please state this in your initial email.
Assessment and Diagnosis
Eye-Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
I am trained and qualified to perform EMDR, which is currently one of the leading evidence-based treatments for adverse life events, PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, negative or stuck beliefs, OCD, Anxiety, Phobias and many other conditions.
​
For standard EMDR please allow a minimum of 10 sessions. This includes assessment, identifying targets/goals, Increasing your resources, Performing Eye movements, Installation and enough time to de-brief and close EMDR smoothly.
​
Please email me specifically stating that you are interested in EMDR.
Brief Solution Focussed Therapy (BSFT)
Approximately 6 sessions
This service is best suited to people who respond better to being guided by a therapist in a goal directed way.
It is a solution focused approach and less focussed on problems or the source of struggles. The objective is to come away feeling more hopeful and confident, with some practical tools and strategies.
​
Please state specifically that you require BSFT. Please note that not all situations are suitable for BSFT, this will be assessed prior to your first session.
