She then went on to complete her BA (Hons) Counselling achieving a 1st class degree.
She runs a private practice specialising in working with ADHD clients and parents of children with ADHD.
Her son was diagnosed with ADHD aged 6. During her training, her son who is now a teenager, was becoming very anxious and depressed, which eventually led to him being suicidal. It is then Samantha realised the correlation between ADHD and comorbid conditions.
Samantha studied ADHD religiously to help her son, even incorporating her research into her degree.
Samantha's research and dissertation asked the question "What do counsellors know about ADHD?"
She was encouraged by her peers to take this information and training further. Samantha now also hold regular ADHD support groups.
Samantha used her knowledge to gain the correct help for her son and he is now moving forward and doing well.
