Mikyla Dodd

My practice hours are as follows:

Tuesday to Friday Daytime & Evenings

Saturday 9.30 am- 1 pm

NB: The last evening appointment slot is at 7.30 pm. 

I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist. I draw on different types of therapy; I will challenge you gently & adapt my style to meet your needs. I offer a safe space to explore what matters to you.

I support clients experiencing issues such as anxiety, psychological burnout, bereavement, stress, anger issues, along with challenges associated with autism, ADHD and OCD. I also support people in recovery from addictions, including drugs, alcohol and gambling.

Neuro-affirming

I have extensive lived experience of neurodiversity and Diplomas in Understanding Autism & ADHD - I welcome clients who see the world differently; no diagnosis necessary. 

Working with Parents of Neurodivergent Children, understanding and supporting their mental and emotional load, is something I'm passionate about. I understand the depth and complexity of this relationship and see how it can leave parents constantly living on the edge of burnout.

Addiction Support

I have spent nearly 2 years working with clients in early recovery from addiction, working on maintenance and self-acceptance. Therapy that supports clients in limbo between active addiction and re-establishing a connection with themselves and the world around them.

Media Experience

I have previous experience in the television and media industry, so I also understand the unique pressures of life in the public domain. If you have a public profile, value your privacy and feel uncertain about exploring therapy, then give me a call, and I can walk you through my protective process.

Recognising you need support is the first big step on the journey. We can move forward at a pace that is comfortable for you. 

The first session may also include an assessment tool such as a short verbal questionnaire or scaling exercise. You would use a scale of 1-10 to indicate where you are experiencing the biggest challenges; this ensures we focus on your priorities.

This type of exercise may be repeated every 4-6 sessions to establish the impact of the work we are doing and demonstrate therapeutic progress.
