I always work with clients to develop collaborative and tailored treatment plans. This includes helping to empower clients to make choices which are right for them.
Specialist psychiatry service
ADHD
Symptoms start in early childhood and include difficulty concentrating, getting easily distracted by the environment and thoughts, procrastinating…
Anxiety
This can range from generalised anxiety where you worry about everyday events and problems to obsessive compulsive disorder and phobias.
Depression
Symptoms include low mood which does not go away, feeling tired all the time, and a diminished experience of pleasure or enjoyment.
Bipolar affective disorder
Bipolar affective disorder can often be mistaken for emotionally unstable personality disorder which makes getting the diagnosis essential because the treatments are completely different.
Psychosis
The signs of psychosis can be subtle and take years to develop. These signs can include social withdrawal, diminished communication, and changes in a person’s warmth and reactivity.
BPD/EUPD
Unlike bipolar affective disorder, changes in mood are rapid (from seconds to hours) and usually occur without warning or a trigger.
