As a qualified child and adolescent specialist I can provide pre-screening assessments and post diagnostic support for children, teenagers and young adults who live with neurodiversity.

If you are looking for a CAMHS referral or further assessment to support your child's case, I can assist. My psychological assessments have been incredibly supportive in assisting both GPs and families into the right  service. 

Please remember that only a qualified paediatrician and/or psychiatrist  can diagnose these conditions. 

Having said that, many teachers, therapists and social workers are very familiar with these conditions from their direct work with children who display the symptoms.

Although Autism and Attention Deficit are NOT mental health disorders, they do come with areas of divergence. This means that children with neurodiversity are more likely to get noticed because of the effects of living with the condition as opposed to the condition itself. This is why it can be difficult to diagnose. 

They're often looked at as naughty or will get into trouble for their behaviour before anyone notices there's an issue with their mental processing and maturity. Of course some children excell in some areas but fall behind their peers in other ways.

Children with neurodiversity are more likely to:

Not pay attention consistently, likely to be distracted and enjoy day dreaming. They are more likely to go off topic, become overly stubborn and impulsivity can be a problem- especially when upset or excited.

There can be a lack of remorse, strong feelings of justice/injustice, and shame due to a level of self awareness of their own difference.

Physically,  children with neurodiversity are much more likely to experience sensory issues with skin, head, hair, noise and smells. They are more likely to have  eating and sleeping issues as well. In boys, potty training and bed wetting can take a bit longer. Dyspraxia, dyslexia and other learning issues are often common and referred to as co-morbid. This is because neurodiversity is about the whole central nervous system as opposed to just one specific area within the brain. 

I spent over 10  years working  exclusively as a CAMHS Specialist Therapist for children and young people across Surrey and Hampshire. I worked in specialist educational settings such as Wey House School in Bramley and both the Guildford and Aldershot Pupil Referral Units. I also worked for the girl's unit at Thorne Chase and was a specialist therapist for i2i psychiatric services (Basingstoke Hospital)..

1. DOSE is a term used in medicine and neuroscience. It refers to crucial hormones that regulate our psychological functioning, processing and autonomy. 

DOSE stands for:

Dopamine 

Oxytocin 

Seratonin 

Endorphins 

These hormones are found both in our gut, internal organs and brain. Some neuroscience research suggests that smart phone addiction, lack of contact with nature, poor nutrition quality and poor sleep are the main cause for the disruption to the body's natural rhythms and self regulation. In other words, is our modern lifestyle slowing starving our minds and bodies of seriously important hormones? Each of these hormones is of radical importance to human development. 

Having a psychological and physical check up can be hugely beneficial to your health!  Learning about these hormones and what we can do to maintain healthy levels can be extremely beneficial to your mind and body. You can book an initial assessment to discuss DOSE Mapping with myself.
