ADHD management
Once your assessment is completed we can assist you with managing your ADHD symptoms. A lot of our clients prefer to attend psychological treatment in order to learn strategies to manage their everyday difficulties. We use evidence based approaches such as CBT and EMDR.
The most common issues addressed during ADHD treatment:
- low confidence
- negative self judgment (“never good enough” thoughts)
- motivation issues
- relationship difficulties
- unrelenting standards
- body image and eating issues (due to high co-existence of eating disorders)
ADHD medication
Please note that we are unable to help you if you are considering starting medication to manage your ADHD, for this purpose you will need to see to a psychiatrist. You will need a GP referral to see a psychiatrist.
