The Strong Psychology Process
A structured framework for sustainable change. The work at Strong Psychology is built on the integration of professional rigor and practical longevity. Rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach, the practice follows a three-phase framework that is adapted to the unique needs, history, and goals of each individual.
Phase 1: Assessment & Psychological Insight
The initial phase focuses on moving beyond surface-level symptoms to understand your underlying cognitive and developmental architecture.
The Objective
Utilising validated measurement tools and professional interviews, we establish a precise psychological profile. This ensures the path forward—whether navigating Adult ADHD or Anxiety—is grounded in evidence rather than guesswork.
Building Readiness
When you’re unsure about making changes, we’ll work together to uncover your own reasons for growth. My role is to be your guide as you explore your own motivations and find the confidence to take the next step.
Phase 2: Integrative Strategy & Intervention
Once we have established a clear way forward, the work shifts to breaking the cycles that keep you stuck. This is an integrative phase where the therapeutic approach is tailored to your specific experience:
Understanding Patterns
For those stuck in long-standing cycles, we’ll help you understand where these patterns come from and empower you to break out of them for good. We’ll gently explore the root causes of these painful patterns so you can heal old wounds and build a healthier, more authentic life.
Managing Overwhelm
When you're overwhelmed by intense emotions, we focus on calming your nervous system. You’ll build a toolbox of practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions in the moment, allowing you to navigate life’s challenges with more stability and confidence.
Phase 3: Integration & Vitality
The final stage ensures that these psychological shifts translate into a sustainable way of living. We move away from the exhaustion of "masking" and toward a life that feels consistent with your values.
Finding a Way Forward
We shift our focus from what’s wrong to what’s possible. By identifying your unique strengths and successes, we work together to create clear, actionable steps that empower you to build the future you want.
Reclaiming Your Story
We address the internalised beliefs and societal pressures that lead to perfectionism or self-criticism. This is a space to gently unlearn old messages and reclaim your identity on your own terms—allowing you to engage with your career and community as your most authentic self.
