You're not bad, wrong, broken or a problem to be fixed. Befriend yourself exactly who and how you are; a messy tangle of strength and struggle just like the rest of us. An imperfect and beautiful life in progress. Human in a messy world.

Assessment
Assessment
Janet offers assessments for adults, including assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Many adults are now seeking assessment to better understand their own neurotype, having recognised traits or having self-identified as ADHD or Autistic.
Janet is committed to neurodiversity affirming practice, and is focused on supporting individuals to understand and embrace their neurotype, whilst also acknowledging and providing support around the many challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in a neurotypical world. It is not uncommon for individuals to develop anxiety and depression as a result of these challenges.
Janet's approach to assessment is flexible and tailored to individual needs. The aim of assessment is to promoting self-understanding, inform appropriate supports, and of improve psychological wellbeing.
