Cognitive and learning disability assessments
I have over 18 years experience of working with adults with learning disabilities. I am therefore skilled in assessing whether someone meets the criteria for having a learning disability, which is defined by IQ and the need for daily support in different areas of life.
Sometimes a cognitive (IQ) assessment is useful for other purposes, and this is also something I am skilled in and can provide.

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.
