My diagnosis process with Aimee and Dr Mayaki was a very positive one. I was in the middle of my PHD and was struggling every day with focus of attention and distractibility which came with mountains of shame and significant overwhelm. I approached Aimee at my breaking point as I felt that there was something wrong with my brain. Friendships were difficult as I was struggling to maintain them, Time has been so understanding and validating from the beginning and we through a process of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which made a huge difference, working with my Core beliefs and re-wiring my thought processes whilst recognising the executive functioning difficulties that is a symptom of ADHD. Aimee paired me up with a psychiatrist and attended the appointment with me who prescribed Stimulant medication. The change has been huge and I am actually enjoying my PHD again and I feel able to manage completion. We also recognised the positives of my ADHD presentation - I am very creative as well as a loyal friend. I am so grateful for her expertise and empathic approach.
