It is important for safe prescribing of ADHD medication that weight, height, pulse and blood pressure readings are provided in advance to ensure prompt prescribing. We are able to offer Shared Care for prescribing with General Practitioners if GP practice is in agreement. Please note that in order for us to agree to the shared care with your GP we need to undertake regular medication reviews in line with NICE guidelines and these will incur a cost.
Psychological Services
Riverside Neurodevelopmental Centre provides post-diagnostic support to adults and young people with a diagnosis of ADHD and/or ASD. Some people find it helpful to talk through what it means to have a diagnosis of ADHD and/or ASD and the ways in which this has impacted on their lives through our specialist coaching service. This can also be an opportunity to identify additional coping strategies for managing symptoms or reducing their impact.
We also know that anxiety, mood problems (such as mood instability or depression) and low self-esteem are common experiences for adults and young people with ADHD and/or ASD. People can also find that they struggle to form and maintain friendships and relationships.
We tend to offer a formulation-based approach to understanding and addressing symptoms of ADHD/ASD and co-occurring conditions. Therapeutic approaches that can be helpful and effective are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, PBS, Mindfulness-based Approaches, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, EMDR and Compassion Focused Therapy. Goals for therapy tend to inform decision-making about which approach might be most appropriate. Sessions are 50 minutes long. There maybe variance in duration dependent on therapeutic approach. Cost per session would be slightly adjusted accordingly. All post diagnosis Psychological Services are virtual appointments unless specified.
