Psychological formulation
Functional recovery parameters
Genetically informed treatment (extra charge applies)
This new bespoke service will allow clients a more in-depth bio-psycho-social understanding of their presentation. This model will allow time for a more thorough, rigorous and ultimately, a holistic assessment and treatment service.
The assessment and treatment appointment times will be slightly longer than our standard times. 100-110 minutes for the assessment and 35-40 mins for follow up appointments. This will allow for the completion of specific psychiatric scales to assess important holistic parameters such as quality of life measurements, residual ADHD symptoms and potential side effects from medication treatment, in order to fine tune management.
The extra time will also allow for a more detailed consideration of the social aspects of functioning, with particular reference to ADHD symptomatology. In this way, you will work together with your doctor to bring about a balance and harmony between the different areas of your life such as work, home, relationships and social life.
There will also be more time to consider and understand the psychological factors that have been important in the development of your ADHD symptomatology, throughout your life span and how this has led to emergent personality traits.
This will enable a more detailed psychiatric formulation to be developed, which will be able to more specifically guide treatment options and maximise the effectiveness of your individual treatment plan. The overall result will be a greater understanding of yourself in relation to your ADHD symptoms, how to harness the strengths from you ADHD, as well as how to work to overcome some of the challenges.
At the treatment stage there will also be the opportunity to undergo additional genetic testing* to fine tune medication options and harness latest evidence-based guidance to enhance outcomes.
Shared decision making will be the corner stone of care and a true partnership is envisaged to unlock your potential.
