About me
I am a dedicated and experienced ADHD assessor and specialist, with a strong foundation in the field of adult ADHD assessment and intervention. My professional journey has been shaped by comprehensive training and qualifications from esteemed institutions, including the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN) and King's College London. I hold a Certificate in "Diagnosis and Assessment of Adults with ADHD," and I have completed the course "Understanding ADHD: Current Research and Practice" at King's College London.
In my current role, I have the privilege of collaborating with a Consultant Psychiatrist to offer comprehensive ADHD assessment and reporting services tailored for adults. We understand the unique challenges that individuals with ADHD face, and our mission is to provide accurate assessment and support to empower our clients to lead fulfilling lives.
As an integrative counsellor, I am accredited Professional by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and recognized by Addiction Professionals. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and a commitment to delivering the highest standard of care. I integrate evidence-based principles from various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice.
My vision is to help individuals harness their strengths and achieve improved mental health and well-being. I employ Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term, goal-focused approach that empowers you to make positive changes in your life. Together, we will identify your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
I firmly believe in the power of Systematic Family Therapy to address issues affecting families and couples. It is a crucial component of my practice, allowing me to assist in resolving symptoms related to a range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorder (SUD).
Whether you are seeking ADHD assessment and support or individual and family counselling, I am here to provide the guidance and care you need to thrive.
Training, qualifications & experience
I was trained as a mental health first aider and have been involved in supporting those who have experienced major natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. I worked as a counsellor at Inspire Partnership, a community drug and alcohol service in Sutton, helping individuals and their families. Moreover, I worked with refugees and asylum seekers in the UK who suffered from mental illnesses.
I have completed my PGDip at London South Bank University. I obtained my BA degree in clinical psychology in 2005. I have undertaken courses in Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness and have done courses like CBT with Older People at UEA (University of East Anglia); Mindfulness for Well-being and Peak Performance at Monash University; Understanding Anxiety, Depression and CBT at the University of Reading and Psychological First Aid - RAPID Model by Johns Hopkins University.
