Autism in adulthood can go unrecognised for many years, particularly when a person has developed effective ways of coping with situations that feel difficult.

An assessment looks beyond individual traits. A clinician considers developmental history, patterns of behaviour, social communication and how these have affected different areas of life over time. This helps distinguish autism from other conditions that can present in similar ways.

If you have been questioning whether an autism assessment may be appropriate for you, our team can discuss your concerns and explain what the assessment involves. Book a consultation at Vivamus.

It’s easy to assume that someone who is doing well professionally must also be coping well personally.

In reality, these are often two very different things.

People can spend years meeting expectations at work while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, attention difficulties, or emotional exhaustion. Because these challenges aren’t always visible, they often go unnoticed by colleagues, friends, and even family members.

Support doesn’t have to wait until life feels unmanageable. Seeking help early can make it easier to protect both your well-being and the parts of life that matter most.

DM us to book a consultation with our team to discuss the support that’s right for you.

Many adults begin exploring autism only after reading about other people's experiences or recognising patterns they hadn't previously connected.

For some, receiving a diagnosis brings relief rather than surprise. It can help explain experiences that may have felt confusing for many years and provide a better understanding of how they think, communicate, and relate to the world around them.

Whether or not autism is ultimately diagnosed, a comprehensive assessment can offer valuable insight and help guide the most appropriate support.

Many people think therapy is only for times when life feels overwhelming. In reality, people often seek support long before reaching that point.

Therapy can help during periods of change, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, stress at work, low self-confidence, or simply when something doesn't feel quite right. You don't have to wait until problems become harder to manage before asking for support.

If you've been thinking about therapy, even if you're not sure whether you need it, book a consultation with our team.

These 5 signs may indicate that you have ADHD.

A diagnosis isn’t about putting a label on your experiences. It can provide an explanation for longstanding patterns, help people better understand their strengths and challenges, and guide decisions about the support that may be helpful.

If you’ve been questioning whether ADHD could explain some of your experiences, book a consultation with our team to discuss whether an assessment is right for you.

To adults, play can look simple. For children, it's one of the main ways they learn to communicate, understand language, solve problems, and connect with other people.

Play creates natural opportunities to practise new words, build conversations, develop social skills, and gain confidence in communication. That's why it forms an important part of Speech & Language Therapy for many children.

In this carousel, we've explained how play supports language development and why it is much more than simply keeping children entertained.

If you're concerned about your child's communication or language development, book a consultation with our team.

Not all therapeutic approaches are supported by the same level of research. At Vivamus, we use evidence-based therapies because they have been carefully studied and shown to be effective for a wide range of psychological difficulties.

Evidence-based care doesn't mean every person receives the same treatment. Your psychologist considers your individual experiences, goals, and circumstances before deciding which therapeutic approach is likely to be most helpful.

This combination of research, clinical expertise, and personalised care helps ensure that therapy is both effective and tailored to your needs.

If you're considering therapy and would like to understand which approach may be right for you, book a consultation with our team.

An ADHD assessment involves much more than completing a questionnaire. The aim is to build a clear understanding of how attention, organisation, memory and executive functioning have affected different areas of your life over time.
This includes discussing childhood experiences, education, work, relationships, day-to-day functioning, and using evidence-based questionnaires or cognitive assessments where appropriate. Each part contributes to the overall clinical picture.
In this carousel, we've explained what to expect during an ADHD assessment and why reaching an accurate diagnosis takes more than a single test.
If you've been wondering whether an assessment may be helpful, book a consultation with our team. We'll be happy to answer your questions and discuss the next steps.

Trauma affects people in different ways.

For some, the impact is obvious. For others, it may show up through anxiety, difficulties in relationships, feeling constantly on edge, or avoiding certain situations without fully understanding why.

There are several evidence-based approaches to trauma therapy, and the most appropriate treatment will depend on your experiences and individual needs.

If past experiences are continuing to affect your everyday life, book a consultation with our team to discuss which approach may be most appropriate for you.

Many people put off starting therapy because they feel they've been struggling for too long.

The truth is that people begin therapy at every stage of life. Some come after a recent life event, while others decide to seek support after living with the same difficulties for many years.

Therapy is about understanding what's happening now and finding ways to respond that help you move forward.

If you've been thinking about therapy but aren't sure where to begin, book a consultation with our team. We'd be happy to talk through your options and help you decide what feels right for you.
