 Dyslexia
support, counselling and Life Coaching
in Edinburgh and Glasgow
Dyslexia is a
condition that
effects far more than simply the ability to read and spell. If often
exists alongside dyscalculus or dyspraxia. The condition is essentially
an information processing problem, which effects a range of
comprehension and processing.
We can provide support and coaching to assist clients with adult
dyslexia in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Please note we are an ADULT service
provider and do not assist in child or adolescent cases.
What
is dyslexia
In basic terms dyslexia effects the way in which the sufferer processes
information. A specific area of the brain is normally effected, and
this results in problems with processing information from a range of
inputs. It is not just reading and writing that are commonly effected.
Often delays in information processing effect sufferers in
verbal conversation as well. Classically pauses while "processing",
difficulty with spelling, difficulty with comprehension while reading,
problems with "proof" reading, and difficulties with essay writing are
all commonplace.
It should be noted that there are different types of dyslexia, some
complex, some severe and some which effect mathematics, memory or
speech more than other types. Not all dyslexia cases are the same.
What other effects
does dyslexia have?
There are a range of knock on effects that are often seen in cases of
adult dyslexia. As a result of problems during childhood and
adolescence there will often be issues with:
- Fear of failure
- Negative self image because of difficulties in study and learning
- History of bullying because of "pauses" in speech or listening
- Internalised negative things that have been said, classically
"stupid", "slow", "lazy"
- Higher levels of stress. This is caused by the added strain of
processing information generally, and the fears of looking "stupid".
- Anger management. Repeated negative comments, difficult challenges
and fear of failure result in defensive or offensive strategies of
behaviour
- Some sufferers are unable to measure the passage of time and are
often very late or early. Even the thought of managing time can be
stressful.
- Some adult sufferers are over keen to revisit academic areas in a
desperate attempt to gain success, often without the resources they need
- Numbers and mathematics are often effected, as is short term memory.
Thus a sufferer may be unable to remember facts, dates, numbers or read
material. It can be hard to commit facts to memory during study.
- Post traumatic Stress effect. Often sufferers are more likely to have
symptoms of traumatic stress, abuse, relationship difficulties, study
issues or work issues. Sufferers often have involvement with legal or
social difficulties as a knock on effect of the condition.
Many of the methods used are
combined where appropriate in
Transpersonal psychology / transpersonal psychotherapy. This does not
mean having to convert to or follow any particular faith or belief.
Indeed a strength of transpersonal therapy is to look at common themes
in faith and non-faith societies.
What can assist
adult difficulties with dyslexia?
There are two main reasons for seeking assistance of a counselling or
life coaching type.
1. Dealing with all the negative things from the past. These can
involve unpiclking learned negative behaviours, fears of failure, hurt
from negative comments, abuse or bullying.
2. Creating new strategies for the present and future. These can
involve learning anger and stress management techniques, study methods,
goal setting, calm time management, memory skills and other personal
strategies.
If you
have a diagnosis
already
You
may already have had an educational psychology assessment and be aware
that you have dyslexia. If you have not, then it is highly
recommended that you seek a referral for such an assessment as soon as
possible. We can assist with non-specific learning
difficulties, but it is a major step forward to have a clear diagnosis
not only of dyslexia, but of the type and nature of your condition.
This helps you to design new strategies for learning and study much
easier.
Background
of the therapists
Both therapists (Denise and Stuart) are well qualified in coaching and
therapy. Both practitioners themselves have different forms of dyslexia
and therefore have a deep insight and interest into the condition.
We also use handouts and training materials from externally accredited
practitioner professional training courses with our clients. These
courses are authored by our senior practitioner (Stuart). With dyslexia
cases these are often tailored so that clients can make use of
different learning styles.
Denise is a
CCC registered counsellor, Stuart
is a NCP
and
NACHP registered psychotherapist and counsellor.
We adhere to
appropriate National Occupational Standards, carry
professional insurance and support regulation of
therapists. We
support the coming voluntary regulation of psychotherapy and
counselling. Stuart is a CNHC registered hypnotherapist (voluntary
regulation of hypnotherapy).
In the first instance drop us an
email or
use the feedback form to contact us. We can then advise whether we feel
we can appropriately assist you.
