Dr Annalena Dressler, M.Ps.S.I.
Clinical Psychologist
Hello, I’m Annalena, a Clinical Psychologist providing psychological assessment and therapy to adults, adolescents and children. I have a particular interest in neurodivergence and in supporting people who may have spent many years with a sense of being different, without fully understanding why. As an Autistic woman with ADHD, I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience of neurodivergence to my work.
I aim for assessment to offer more than diagnostic clarification: to help people make sense of longstanding patterns, recognise their strengths and needs, and develop a more compassionate understanding of themselves.
Psychological assessments I offer include:
- Autism assessments
- ADHD assessments
- Psychoeducational assessments, including Dyslexia and Dyscalculia
Alongside assessment, I offer individual psychological therapy to adults and adolescents. I am especially interested in working with neurodivergent people around identity, shame, self-criticism and a sense of feeling stuck in longstanding patterns. Therapy may involve exploring how earlier experiences, relationships and ways of adapting have shaped beliefs about the self and patterns of relating that continue into the present. My work is integrative and relational, with an emphasis on developing greater understanding, self-compassion and choice rather than simply trying to eliminate symptoms.
I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation for anyone considering assessment or therapy who would like to discuss what they are looking for and whether working together may be a good fit.
