ADHD ASSESSMENTS
I am qualified to assess and diagnose ADHD in adults (over 18 years). I only undertake this work if you are within the Canterbury DHB area. In other regions you will need a pathway for obtaining medication, in which case a private psychiatrist appointment will be more efficient and cost-effective.
ADHD THERAPY
Therapy can be a helpful support tool following diagnosis in order to work through any difficulties that may arise in understanding and/or accepting the diagnosis, or in managing symptoms and related difficulties. The approach and type of therapy are targeted to the specific issue and to you as an individual. I use CBT, ACT, and behavioural approaches.
ADHD AND NUTRITION
There is now enough research evidence to show the importance of nutrients for mental as well as physical well-being. Some studies have found adults with ADHD to be over-represented in individuals low, and possibly deficient in some key nutrients. I can help you to evaluate and improve your nutrition.
