Working with Trauma

As a psychologist I work all of the time with #trauma. Even if people come to me with difficulties with depression, relationship problems or #anxiety, often it becomes clear that traumatic experiences underlie these issues. I work with trauma in a number of ways. I am really passionate about ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which is derived from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy( and is a values based therapy that focuses upon moving towards a life full of vitality, based on values based goals, and also incorporates mindfulness approaches. I am also an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist. EMDR has a strong evidence based, and has been found to work more quickly than other therapies. This site has some great information: www.emdrassociation.org.uk

PATH North West provides private ADHD and Autism assessments and 1:1 therapy for adults in Manchester, Preston and online. Led by an HCPC-registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist with 18 years of post-doctoral experience, including in NHS autism specialist services, PATH North West delivers through evidence-based assessments designed to support adults seeking clarity and diagnosis. You may be experiencing problems with your mood, self-esteem, problems with concentration, overwhelm/burnout, sensory issues, or managing relationships. Perhaps you have wondered if this could indicate neurodiversity. Having clarity through ADHD/autism assessment may  help you and others to better understand your experience and access the support you need. 

  • You don't need to have a full assessment, a shorter and more affordable screening session is available to help you determine if a full assessment is warranted, and if so, which this would be,.

  • I also offer therapy informed by ACT, IFS, DBT and EMDR, tailored to your needs. I can work with any adults but I have particular experience with neurodiversity.

  • I have been qualified since 2007, and worked in the NHS for 20 years. I have worked privately for around 10 years. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should I have an assessment?

Feeling unsure? you're not alone. Having an autism, ADHD or learning disability assessment or therapy  can be a big step. Many adults I have worked with in NHS autism services and privately have spent years wondering whether ADHD/autism might explain their differences. If you are unsure if an assessment and/or therapy is right for you, please contact me for a free 15 minute video or telephone call to discuss further and I can help advise you. There will be no 'hard sell' - I will advise on what I think is right for you, which is my absolute priority.

If you want a no obligation, free, 15 minute call to discuss options, get clarity and advice, please contact me using this button.
