Adult Autism Interventions

I really like the all-round approach that is offered for people with ADHD. Being diagnosed as an adult, it’s been great being able to sort my medication, therapy and support with systems and sensory through the one practice. I’ve worked with a psychiatrist, psychologist and occupational therapist who have all been really supportive and this has given me a great approach to managing and understanding my ADHD that isn’t just based on medication.

I can’t thank the team enough for all their efforts, expertise and empathy before, during and after my Autism / ADHD assessment. They massively helped me navigate and bounce back from the hardest period of my life. I am forever in their debt. I live in Northern Ireland, but I did my research on neurodiverse specialist therapy / assessment providers who offer online sessions. I found the St. Andrew’s Practice to stand out from the crowd due to the range, depth and bespoke nature of the assessments and interventions their team collectively provide. I would highly recommend the St Andrew’s Practice to anyone that believes they may be neurodiverse, and wishes the insight that diagnosis and treatment brings, and the tools that the expert Occupational Therapist helps teach you to make practical life-improving changes.

I started going to therapy at The St Andrews Practice last year following the sudden and unexpected death of my husband. The St Andrews Practice gave me that place to grieve and supported me in the grieving process. My therapist has really helped me in coming to terms with his death, the events, the complexities, the trauma and in finding a new life for myself. I couldn’t recommend therapy, my therapist or The St. Andrews Practice more. They honestly have been my life-line in the most difficult of times and I don’t believe I would be where I am today with my grief had it not been for my therapist and The St Andrews Practice. I will be forever grateful for all they have done for me.

The most immediate thing I felt was how relaxed I felt talking about myself for over one hour, considering I was very anxious prior to the appointment. Another immediate benefit was, that I’ve slept soundly every night since the first appointment and sleep is something which has been a debilitating problem for me, for years. This diagnosis has given me closure and I now feel happy within myself. I can now look forward to a brighter future, without analysing myself 24 hours a day.

The clinicians are fantastic – I felt truly listened to, understood and validated. I felt challenged but in a compassionate sense. I’m really glad I attended in person – both clinicians made me feel at ease and encouraged a really collaborative assessment space.

The care I have received at The St Andrews Practice – by one of the psychologists as well as an occupational therapist – has been top-notch, thoughtful, personalised and life-changing. I have felt closely attended and encouraged by their professional yet friendly approach to my varied needs. I am so grateful for the many-pronged treatment that has made a profound difference for me.
