Do you suspect that you are neurodivergent and need an experienced and specialist therapeutic approach to help you discern which ADHD traits that you suspect are presenting problems in your personal relationships?
Individuals with ADHD often experience social difficulties and interpersonal problems as a result of their inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. If left unmanaged, these general traits can cast shadows and disrupt healthy relationships. Anxiety and depressed mood are most common casualties when miscommunications are prevalent.
You may have lived with anxiety and disruptive relationships for many years, unaware that your undiagnosed ADHD was the main culprit. My counselling near me at Penny Glazebrook Counselling and Psychotherapy can help you to disentangle your feelings of low self-worth that contributes to your lack of confidence in interpersonal relationships. ADHD and Anxiety Counselling is a worthwhile strategy to help you to ring fence off many stressors in your life. It can help you to identify your behavioural patterns and how to modify them.
I have many years of psychotherapy experience including working with ADHD adults who have been plagued with anxiety and low mood that is commonly treated with SSRIs, yet the underlying ADHD remains undiagnosed.
I incorporate individual differences when assessing people with undiagnosed ADHD. Not all neurodivergent people are the same or fall into the exact same category. Childhood and peer experiences, personality traits and lifetime experiences can all influence and exacerbate ADHD traits.
I can help you to unpick and make sense of your experiences to date that can minimise anxiety and worry. Another defining feature of my therapeutic approach is to help you define your lifestyle choices and what suits you best. We all have unrealistic expectations of ourselves at times. My practice helps you with self-exploration that includes reaching your best potential.
Understanding neurodivergence is key to living a more fulfilling life that you deserve to have that includes healthy and open communication with significant others. My relationship counselling helps partners to understand how neurodivergence in the couple dynamic can create repeated misunderstandings that can breed resentments by both parties over a period of time. I can help facilitate open communication without accusatory blame shifting that is most common. This can damage relationships in the long term where couples tend to diverge away from one another and end up in crisis. This is particularly painful experience if children are involved.
It is typical for neurodivergent parents to have neurodivergent children that can add extra strain on the family dynamic. I am here to facilitate understanding and better ways of coping and managing expectations of one another.
