About Us

At Four Bridges Psychology, we provide compassionate, evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic services, for Children, Adolescents and Adults who are seeking to explore their Neurodiversity.

To ensure that you receive the most accurate information from the start of your journey with us, we provide Preliminary Diagnostic Assessments, to determine whether a full diagnostic assessment is the most appropriate pathway for you and/or your Child/Young Person. 

When the need for a full diagnostic assessment is indicated, we support you and/or your Child/Young Person through our comprehensive assessment processes. Our assessment packages not only enable us to reach diagnostic conclusions but enable a greater understanding of individual strengths as well as needs. Finally, our person-centred recommendations aim to support you and/or your Child/Young Person to feel empowered to progress.

Adult ADHD Diagnostic Service

ADHD extends beyond the well-known symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. In adults, it can present differently and may have gone unrecognised or misdiagnosed for many years, often leading to challenges in daily life, work, and relationships.

Adult ASC Diagnostic Service

Do you feel like you have spent years struggling with a world that often feels overwhelming, confusing; a world that doesn’t fit with the way that you think and experience life. Perhaps social situations have always felt like a puzzle, sensory overload leaves you feeling exhausted or masking your true self has become second nature? You might have blamed yourself for struggling with relationships, work, or your Mental Health, wondering why things seem easier for others. You may have noticed some or all of these things; but never understood why? Exploring a diagnosis of Autism in Adulthood can be a big step towards developing a clearer understanding of yourself, your strengths and your difficulties. It can help you to advocate for your needs, access the right support and let go of self-doubt. Autism means that the brain works differently, not wrongly. Our Autism Diagnostic Service isn’t just about labels; it’s about you knowing that your experiences are valid, gaining clarity, embracing strengths and navigating life in a way that works for you. We are committed to supporting you throughout your journey with us and helping you to find the answers that you deserve.

Our Reviews

Claire

I am incredibly grateful for the support and expertise provided by Anne-Marie who worked with my son. Her thorough assessment and deep understanding of his needs, identified that his struggles in school were linked to communication and interaction challenges, stemming from his diagnosis of ASD. This insight was invaluable in helping me better understand the root causes of his emotional needs and difficult behaviour.

The clear strategies for improvement came with much relief.  One key recommendation was revising his Individual Education Plan (IEP), as the existing plan lacked sufficient detail and did not focus on his strengths.  Anne-Marie emphasised the importance of incorporating the Pomodoro approach and scaffolding, to help with focus and task completion. 

With these insights and suggestions in hand, I was able to collaborate with my son’s school to implement these changes. The results have been remarkable—my son’s focus, academic achievement, and overall behaviour have all significantly improved and we have a much happier household!

I can’t thank Anne Marie enough for her support and her patience! Having recently been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Anne Marie has massively helped me navigate my life by providing me with awareness and understanding of why I show up in the world the way I do. I now know that there is nothing wrong with me, I just have a different way of doing things!

My life used to be very difficult to manage, especially organising daily tasks and concentrating on tasks that I do not particularly find interesting. Anne Marie was able to help me become aware of why I was hyper focused on things that I enjoy doing, and why I found it difficult to focus on tasks that I did not enjoy.

I always found it took a huge monumental effort to complete tasks, especially everyday mundane tasks. With Anne-Marie’s help, I now understand myself better and I now have strategies that work for me and make these tasks a lot easier and less stressful!

My relationships have also improved!
