During our consultation I will always answer your questions honestly and help you in deciding if Art Psychotherapy is right for you. In a session I am looking for connection, not perfection. You do not need to be 'good' at art and all art making is judgement free and can unlock a new way of expressing yourself. It is also common to have sessions where you just talk or just make art. I have a range of experience in my role as a therapist and through our consultation I can advise how therapy may help you as an individual.

Do you feel like your life is lacking direction or purpose? Sometimes these feelings arise from a life-changing event, sometimes we don’t know or understand why we feel like this. Whatever the cause, I can help you to identify where you are now and where you want to be. I will work with you to take positive steps forward. I use coaching techniques that help empower you; help you to find your purpose; maximise your potential and deal with change. I have had my own experience with a life-threatening illness and understand that sometimes life does not go the way we planned. Therapy can help you to feel more in control of your life.

ADHD Counsellors

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?

You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?

Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?

It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
