Kate D’Anvers Psychology

How can I help you?

I have extensive experience in working with adults with ADHD, particularly those who were diagnosed as adults or suspect a diagnosis might be appropriate but have never been formally diagnosed.  

This can include helping you to:

• establish whether or not you have ADHD**. (I'm updating my assessment process - I will have a new assessment protocol available in May!)
• improve your organisational skills, motivation and focus
• find workable strategies to improve your procrastination, perfectionism and people pleasing
• help you understand and reduce the sense of anger / shame / not being good enough / imposter syndrome that so many late diagnosed adults live with
• stop relying on last minute panic to get things done
• avoid 'mini-burnouts' - those days when it's impossible to get anything done, despite your best intentions
• treat depression and anxiety with an ADHD lens (both are 5 - 7 times more likely in people with ADHD, treatment needs to consider the impact of ADHD to be most successful)
• help you build habits, stick with hobbies and reach goals
• learn more about the lesser known sides of ADHD such as rejection sensitivity, a painful intolerance of boredom, constantly overcommitting yourself, trouble making decisions (despite having researched ALL the options twice) etc., etc
  
• ** The diagnostic process involves three meetings, a computer-based assessment and a written report.  Please note that I cannot provide ADHD medication
