✦ When Another Type of Support May Be Needed
Some concerns require a different kind of care or a more specialized therapeutic approach. For this reason, there are certain areas we do not currently work with at Psythera. If any of the following apply to you, you can contact your GP for further guidance on finding the right support.
Concerns that fall outside my scope include:
• ADHD assessments and treatment
• Psychotic symptoms or disorders
• Substance abuse or addiction
• Crisis intervention, acute suicidal risk, or self-harm
• Personality disorders requiring specialized therapy

If you’re unsure whether your concerns fall within my areas of focus, you’re welcome to contact me. I offer a brief introductory call to help clarify your needs and, if necessary, guide you toward the right resources or referrals.
