CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
Specialist in Autism Spectrum Conditions in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire
I am Dr Adrian Edwards, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. Having worked in the NHS for over ten years, I now work primarily with those with neurodevelopmental difficulties such as Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC). I have gathered experience with a varied client group, across the lifespan, supporting children, adolescents (and their families) and adults with, or exploring a diagnosis of, an Autism Spectrum Condition. I have developed particular expertise in assessing females with a possible ASC.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT
Supporting your onward journey
I am committed to establishing a nurturing and supportive therapeutic environment in which the child, adolescent or adult can resolve their difficulties and improve their quality of life. Exploring a diagnosis is often the first step towards adjusting and celebrating your individuality.
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, a difficult relationship, or trying to simply understand your idiosyncrasies - I have the tools and professional experience to help you move forwards.
SERVICES AVAILABLE
Supporting difficulties associated with neuro-developmental conditions
I provide assessment towards exploring a possible diagnosis of neuro-developmental difficulties such as Autism Spectrum Conditions. This usually involves a combination of semi-structured interviews, use of psychometrics and other diagnostic tools. In addition I will work to offer advice and liaison for accessing appropriate services.
I am also able to provide therapeutic support to individuals with a neurodevelopmental diagnosis drawing on an integrative set of approaches, such as CBT, Systemic and Behavioural models. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, a difficult relationship, or trying to simply understand your idiosyncrasies, I have the tools and professional experience to help you move forwards and celebrate your individuality.
I am based in Bournemouth (Dorset) and therefore accessible from the remainder of Dorset and neighbouring south west counties including, Hampshire, Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and the Isle of Wight.
