Issues I Can Help You With
About Alicia Firth
I am a Registered Psychologist offering a range of online therapy services, including ADHD and Autism diagnostic assessments and evidence-based psychological therapy for adults.
My Therapeutic Approach
I value the therapeutic relationship and focus on building a sense of rapport and safety with my clients. It is often within this setting I find that deep and notable change can occur. My approach can be described as warm, intuitive, adventurous and practical. I aim to assist clients to notice, explore and move through areas causing pain and a stalemate to a new place of insight, and strength.
Key Focus Areas
I have a special interest in working with clients experiencing
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Trauma and stress related difficulties
- Anxiety disorders
- ADHD.
My Background and Experience
Prior to establishing Alicia Firth Psychology, I worked in both clinical and senior leadership roles in the non-profit and educational sectors. Therapeutically, I have worked with students in a university setting, in the corporate setting, and with adults encountering workplace bullying and stress. I have experience working with adults with a range of presentations such as depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, relationship and personal challenges such as difficulties with self-esteem, confidence and perfectionism. Additionally, I have post-graduate training in Trauma-Focused CBT and have worked with clients experiencing PTSD and complex trauma. I use a range of evidence-based therapies in my practice, including CBT, TF-CBT, Schema Therapy, ACT and others.
ADHD Diagnostic Assessments
I provide ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder diagnostic assessments. My aim is to ensure a thorough exploration of presenting concerns to reach an accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive treatment plan, and help clients develop a greater understanding of themselves.
In accordance with the current Australian Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guideline for ADHD, my assessment approach includes an evaluation of existing mental health concerns which often co-occur with ADHD, recognition of more nuanced features of ADHD (e.g., as they present in women), and identify your personal strengths and coping profile to develop a personalised treatment plan. I also provide Autism Assessments and Combined ASD + ADHD Assessments for adults.
Autism Diagnostic Assessments
I provide a comprehensive lifespan evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to assist individuals and their families to access the support they need and have a more thorough understanding of their unique experiences and individual needs.
While a GP referral is not required to undertake an assessment of Autism, it is often valuable to include your GP in this process as your primary care provider. This ensures a supportive health care team who are familiar with your needs and may provide more targeted support and guidance.
My goal is to provide a thorough assessment process that empowers clients with the knowledge and strategies they require to manage challenges and strengthen their sense of self and their capacity moving forward. At completion of the assessment process a comprehensive assessment report is provided which includes a recommendation for personalised support.
“I work with clients in a collaborative way that can be described as ‘fluid within structure’ to help clients to self-manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life and, most importantly, reach their individual goals”.
