ADHD Counselling in Edinburgh

Your child might have ADHD, Dyslexia, development delay or something else, but solutions offered do not improve their quality of life?
I offer a non-invasive, drug-free therapy based on primitive reflex integration. What is this? Primitive reflexes are genetic patterns that allow brain skills to function effectively. Some children, for any reason; prematurity, caesarean birth, etc. do not develop properly or stuck these reflexes, resulting in issues in one or more skills of the brain.

I'll work with you to explore the origins of unhelpful patterns of behaviour, relating to others, unresolved trauma, and feelings of anxiety & depression.

If you're newly diagnosed (or self-diagnosed) with autism or ADHD, I can help you explore your past, present and future with the diagnosis.

Waiting list for evening sessions at present.

I've worked with individuals with ADHD, autism, and neurodiverse ways of being for 15 years.
I work with people who are trying to making sense of their place in the world, trying to answer questions of meaning, purpose and identity. If you're considering therapy, you may know what you want to work on, but feel stuck, frustrated, or in need of some support. You may know that something's not right but not know where to start. This may coincide with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, or burn out. Psychotherapy is a space for you to discuss what's on your mind in a non-judgemental collaborative setting. This is a chance for you to tell your story, and make sense of what it means.

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.
