Catherine Thompson
BSc., MSc., MBBS
Background: I am a graduate of Psychology to the Masters Level, have extensive experience working with people and have spent the last 10 years researching how to support parents and young people with ADHD.
I offer support sessions that aim to work with your current parenting style and aims. Using knowledge and experience gained from my current PhD work (Viva passed December 2024), I apply ADHD understanding and experience to help you find the right motivation and approach to parent your child with ADHD or manage your own. I aim to maximize personal wellbeing, life achievements and family enjoyment now and for the future.
Below are the publications and projects I have been involved with over the last few years:
