What you can expect when working with Tim as a therapist or ADHD coach…

Tim Dixon –
A psychotherapist who balances compassion with curiosity to support the changes that clients wish to achieve.

My psychotherapy practice focuses on helping clients who struggle with the symptoms of ADHD. Together we develop their specific coping strategies for managing the chaos in their lives this neurological condition can create.

While I also support older adolescents (17 & older) and young adults, my decades of leadership coaching experience and 30+ years of providing management consulting serves to guide those ‘more professionally experienced’ clients facing challenges due to ADHD symptoms in the workplace or career burnout.

Many of my clients have the skills and knowledge to achieve their goals at work but were struggling to move from intention to action. That sense of ‘underachieving’ can reek havoc on one’s self-concept, which makes for scattered thought processes …and so the cycle of emotional dysregulation deepens.

The Gottman Method guides my approach to couples counselling. When a relationship rupture has occurred between intimate partners, we will work to rebuild the trust and friendship that serves as the foundation for healthy communication needed to rebuild shared goals for a life together.

For First Responders who are experiencing PTSD or career burnout, deploying Somatic Experiencing approaches can assist in their crisis stabilization and return to emotional safety.

A range of therapy approaches can be leveraged to assess, explore, and ultimately reduce or resolve the interpersonal, emotional, and/or psychological challenges preventing you from thriving in all aspects of your life.

Exploring what happened to you can help heal the hurt.

Talking about your past with a therapist can help you to reframe your sense of self and build a new story of who you are and what is possible going forward.

Tim can help you develop emotional regulation practices to serve you when events in your current life, or memories from your past, trigger negative emotions or intrusive thoughts.

Tim can help you examine how what you had experienced growing up impacts your current relationships and distressing feelings.

Here are fundamental areas that couples counselling will address to help strengthen your relationship as loving partners, or to repair a recent rupture…

Confidentiality is fundamental for building trust within the client-counsellor connection. Yet we can not have secrets between one partner and the therapist, even though 1-on-1 sessions will be part of the couple counselling process. Tim will support and guide couples in the process of disclosing difficult news or unmet needs, to create health dialogue and develop agreed upon boundaries and expectation in the relationship.
