I can work with children who have ASD, ADHD and other diagnosis.
Sometimes strong emotions such as anger, sadness and anxiety can leave children feeling overwhelmed. This can lead them to become withdrawn, have difficulties at school and in friendships, or show their feelings in behaviours which are unhelpful. Psychotherapy can help your child to put their feelings into words and help them to express themselves in a different way. They will have access to a confidential space in which they can explore what is causing their distress and, by understanding themselves better, they can have better relationships with their family and friends and begin to build their confidence.

Hello, I am Yessica Vilar, a counsellor and integrative psychotherapist. This intervention will benefit anyone suffering from developmental trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, excessive fears and panic, low self-esteem, self-destructive tendencies, existential crisis, or a need for personal and spiritual development. My approach is open and tailored to the person (adult or child). Throughout the process, we work together on goals and aspects of life identified as areas of development, without judgment but rather as an invitation for self-growth.

Something brought you here. Maybe you've been holding things together for a long time and you're tired. Maybe you keep running into the same patterns in relationships, or with yourself, and you can't quite get underneath them. Perhaps something has shifted - a loss, a transition, an ending - and you don't quite recognise yourself anymore. You might arrive with a clear sense of what's wrong, or with nothing more than a feeling that something isn't right. Either is fine. You don't need the right words or a clear agenda.

I have a particular interest in working with people experiencing difficulties with Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Binge eating and Overcoming the impact of difficult or traumatic experiences, including PTSD
Hi, I am Lindsey, a BABCP accredited CBT therapist based in Uckfield, East Sussex and online. Experiencing times when we feel low or anxious is normal. In fact it’s a great sign that we’re human! There are times in our lives though when how we are feeling gets in the way of living the life we want. This may be in response to challenging or traumatic events that we’ve experienced in life but not always. Even some of the best moments in life can give rise to anxiety.

Clients are all unique but I tend to work best with clients who enjoy a mixture of creative self discovery mixed with self reflection and commitment to personal change. Insights from therapy sessions are best integrated through further thought and action so that the client sees changes. I am committed to working with clients to support them to gain hope and confidence in these changes and themselves.

To begin counselling can be a life-changing decision. You may want to address thoughts and feelings or specific challenges that can be hard to speak to others about, or perhaps made a decision to address the impact of past trauma, loss or shame. By sharing your story and emotional journey within the therapeutic space, it can be heard in a new way, as though for the first time. In this way, different narratives can be explored, allowing you to take greater ownership of your life and your future.

I hold additional certification in ADHD and neurodiverse training, grief and loss, mother daughter relationships, narcissism, eating disorders, anxiety and PTSD.
Having experienced at first hand the hugely positive impact counselling has had on my own life, I chose to train as a psychodynamic therapist to help others experience the same profound benefits. I now use an integrative approach, which has enriched my work with clients. Working with you, we will together examine and uncover often unconscious or repressed memories which in turn can drive unhelpful patterns of behaviour. We will explore the sources of your problems and aim to deal with the underlying issues, not just try to find a way to cope with them. Only by making peace with the past can you look forward to a happy future.

Are you experiencing challenges in your relationships that feel difficult to resolve? You may feel exhausted by constant conflict, depressed and just not yourself. Perhaps you feel invisible and distant to your partner, and none of your efforts to make things better seem to work. You know change is necessary but you can't see a way forward. Perhaps you are wondering whether to leave the relationship but that thought feels scary and uncertain, like a constant, heavy weight? Being in this place can leave you overwhelmed and and deeply confused. The thought of the future feels uncertain and yet you know that you want more from life.

Welcome, I am Lee, I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I work with clients for short or longer term counselling/therapy. We will work collaboratively to identify the areas of your life that are troubling or distressing and agree the focus of therapy together.

I hope therapy will bring you greater awareness, spontaneity and increased intimacy.

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.
