DIAGNOSED COMBINED ADHD

LOCATION ~ MK45

Aaron had until very recently lived his whole life with undiagnosed ADHD.  Now he has his diagnosis of the Combined type, he finally understands why he had struggled so much in the past. 

Aaron has battled through years of professional counselling and psychology training and has learned through his own experiences what methods can help ADHD clients who are dealing with the same issues.  He took many different pathways to get to where he is now and fully understands how individual everyone’s support needs to be. 

Aaron has seen first-hand the damage that can come from not being diagnosed early.  In his own family he was often thought of as ‘misbehaving’, ‘naughty’ and struggled hugely with his impulsivity as a child.  He was brought up in a household with strong, regimented parenting and when Aaron couldn’t achieve the expected standards, he felt terrible guilt and shame. 

As a teenager, he developed an interest in mental health, which eventually led him to train professionally.  He is now a qualified Transpersonal Psychologist and an Integrative Counsellor. 

Aaron knows all too well how it is to be ‘not understood’ in all aspects of his ADHD life.  He resonates with the intense feelings this can bring as well as the consequences of those feelings.  He has experienced many of the typical ADHD emotions; guilt, shame, anger, loss and the traumatic impact this can have.  He understands the pain and loneliness which can sometimes go alongside undiagnosed ADHD. 

Aaron has managed to push through the issues that not being diagnosed until adulthood has brought.  He is following his dreams by helping other ADHD people and is passionate about clients ‘finding their true selves’ – hearing and developing their inner voice which so often gets pushed down and ignored when trying to fit in with what society expects.  He firmly believes there are no hurdles that cannot be overcome.

Aaron has experience of working with many different areas of trauma in therapy including purely ADHD related, physical and sexual abuse.  He has helped many clients with both therapeutic and practical ways to feel in control of these experiences allowing them to regain control of their lives. 

Aaron also studied Psychology to Masters level and understands advanced psychological concepts, theories and research with the British Psychological Society.  His use of transpersonal psychology and the spiritual aspect of this work can be used for clients wanting to explore who they are and how they fit into the world.  Aaron uses this to explore the very essence of the meaning of their existence, questions such as “why do I exist?” or “why am I here” can be explored and the results can be very profound, illuminating and life changing for clients. 

Aaron very much understands ADHD stuckness and works with clients to help them accept that sometimes ‘being stuck’ is okay and necessary before choosing the right path forwards.
