About me

Welcome to Dr Compton-Smith Psychology

Hello, I'm Emily Compton-Smith. I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Clinical Psychologist.

I offer specialist ADHD assessments for adults aged 17+, as well as therapeutic work for adults and young people with a range of difficulties. My aim is to help you better understand yourself, and to work towards alleviating some of the distress or difficulties you might be experiencing. I utilise a range of therapeutic approaches to support my work and I use gold-standard assessment tools to conduct comprehensive ADHD assessments. Undergoing an assessment or accessing therapy can be a daunting process, but I offer a compassionate safe place to explore any concerns you might have.

My qualifications are as follows:

- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) - University of Leicester (2021)

- BSc Psychology - Aston University (2016)

I have also undertaken the following post-qualification courses:

- Diagnosis and Assessment of Adults with ADHD - UKAAN (2021)

- Psychosocial Support and Skills Training for Adults with ADHD - UKAAN (2021)

- Administration and Coding for the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R,   Hogrefe, 2022)
