About me
Have you been having a harder time lately? Are you experiencing a new life transition where you’re not as happy as you had hoped? Or possibly you are looking to make a change in your relationships, work, or daily routine but you’re feeling stuck and unmotivated.
Regardless of the specific challenge that has brought you to start therapy, you do not have to go through this journey alone. Therapy can help you accomplish your goals in an environment that is safe and non-judgmental.
I am licensed Counselling Psychologist and my style is Integrative, which means treatment is tailor made to specifically meet client's goals through various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Psychodynamic and Mindfulness. I use treatment that is evidence-based and effective which includes being collaborative, goal-directed, and open. I encourage you to book an initial session so that we can start your journey towards positive emotional health.
Adult ADHD- Living with undiagnosed ADHD can be overwhelming and unnecessarily challenging. My aim is to help guide you in understanding this diagnosis and how to integrate the tools and knowledge around it so that you may live your life effectively and fully. Please note that a Psychologist report can be used under shared care agreement with your GP so that appropriate medical treatment can be provided.
Adult ADHD evaluations include the following:
- A comprehensive diagnostic interview
- Administration of the DIVA-5 (a structured Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD that is based on the criteria for ADHD in DSM-5)
- Completion of self-report and other-report forms of symptoms of ADHD both in childhood and in adulthood
- Other assessment measures as deemed appropriate given your specific symptoms and life circumstances

DURATION AND FREQUENCY OF COUNSELLING
You probably have many questions about the counseling process, and I will address some of those here. Any other questions you have, simply ask.
One of the things I like to talk about is time. How long will we be working together? As you might suspect, the time varies according to the person and the problem(s). The time we spend together will be once weekly, for approximately 50 minutes.
Many peoples' problems will be resolved within a matter of months, rather than years. It takes time for us to get to know one another, and then some time for us to work through your problems.
We will be regularly checking on our progress and deciding how much we've done and when we might finish our work together. I believe that the end of therapy is as natural as the beginning, and it is a process that ought to be embraced, not avoided.
