Chantal Kayem Psychologist
Adult Consultations
Life is full of challenges. Everyone experiences ups and downs in their lives. Some adults are faced with quite stressful situations that leave them feeling stressed, down, tired, concerned, overwhelmed sad, depressed, anxious or with sleeping problems. When confronted with difficult times like these, speaking to someone who understands what you are going through can make a world of difference. With understanding and support, you can learn skills, look at your situation from a different perspective and make certain changes that will improve your life.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Treatment
For some, ADHD presents itself as only difficulties with concentration, organisation and completion of tasks. Others also have difficulties with restlessness and impulsivity. Regardless, neurofeedback is an effective, natural and revolutionary permanent treatment for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) that studies show has just as much success as medication.

Parenting and Child Therapy
It can often be difficult and stressful to raise children. Although rearing children is often full of exciting, exhilarating and fun moments, along with those wonderful moments come frustrating, exasperating and very difficult ones too. Parenting today is also particularly stressful. Today’s parents often don’t have relatives or other support close by, as did previous generations, to help. The statement “It takes a village to raise a child” is so true. Parents often need support through their parenting years and often can’t cope without it.
Uncertainty, doubt and guilty feelings are common ground for today’s parents. You want to do the best for your children and sometimes simply don’t know how. That’s my motivation for providing help for parents.
Being a mother of three children, Robert 13 years, Jacqueline, 9 years and Vanessa 5 years, I very much understand the many stresses of parenthood. I recognise the need to help families to learn effective ways to manage children and create the positive and loving environment you want.
As a counselling child psychologist, my areas of expertise are in child behaviour management, depression, anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), autism, Asperger's and sleeping and learning difficulties.

Testimonials
Sean, 8 years old with ADHD, tantrums, low self-esteem and sleeping difficulties
Before neurofeedback, Sean was always prone to tantrums and had a very low opinion of himself or his ability to complete new or difficult tasks. He found it difficult to concentrate in class and was easily distracted. He would not attempt challenging tasks from fear of failing and he would often take himself out of the class or hide from his teachers if didn't understand instructions or found the work difficult. His co-ordination was also not good. Sean also had difficulty getting to sleep, often taking up to 2 hours to fall asleep. Even after the first session, Sean let me know that he "felt good" and he was happier. Over the next months I have seen a massive improvement in Sean. He now sleeps soundly. He no longer has nightmares and generally wakes up happy and refreshed. He adheres to a homework routine, siting and finishing what is required without arguing. His concentration has improved dramatically with very little that distracts him from the task. His tantrums that were before a regular occurrence are now a rarity. Sean also now seems to like himself and is able to make and keep friendships because he no longer sees himself as "different". Sean's coordination and abilities with ball sports also improved and he now likes sport. Everything about Sean is so much more positive, he no longer sees school as a punishment but rather a chance to see his friends. Whereas he hated sport days he now looks forward to it. He has become very helpful around the house. I am grateful that I found a procedure that has helped my son so much as we were very concerned for his future

Cathy P., 45 years old, adult with ADHD, anxiety, headaches, and sleeping difficulties
I went to see Chantal Kayem Gazal to try and help my daughter’s concentration and academic problems and because I was so pleased with the results, I decided to go for myself. Before going to see Chantal, I had difficulties concentrating, getting organised, and dealing with my stress in relation to my two teenage kids. I was also unable to relax, always keeping myself busy by doing something be it the housework, tidying, running errands or paying bills. I was also often wake at night. I had headaches as well almost daily and periodically, I would get migraines for days. Following only a few neurofeedback sessions I started feeling calmer and more relaxed. I was better able to deal with the kids. I was even better able to organise myself. A few more sessions later, my sleep began to improve and I was surprised by my ability not to stress too much with my kids and my new organisational skills. I began writing lists and checking them off which was a first for me. I was also generally better able to focus on my daily duties without constantly getting off task. After more sessions, my anxiety became much better. I wouldn’t get into a state, over-reacting to daily hiccups as I used to. And I actually sat down and had a rest, rather than always doing something. Since the completion of my neurofeedback treatment, I am a different person. I can get myself organised, go on with what I need to do and remember almost all of what I need to. I can handle my kids’ problems with much more control and ease. I am much more relaxed than I used to be. I take time out for myself when I can. And I wake up refreshed because my sleep is good. But most surprising of all is that my headaches and migraines are gone! I highly recommend this neurofeedback treatment. It has really changed my life.

Sophie, 10 years old with ADHD, sleeping difficulties and academic difficulties
Before we came to see Chantal, Sophie could only concentration for 5 minutes maximum before getting distracted. She was academically behind in her reading, writing, spelling and maths. Sophie was also taking a long time to fall asleep. Since she was a baby, Sophie would wake up in the night every night and want us. She would also wake up so flat in the mornings. After the first neurofeedback session with Chantal, Sophie slept through without waking and woke up more easily and feeling refreshed! After only a few sessions, she was shaper, more focused and more alert with her schoolwork. Her teacher also said that her reading and writing improved. She was better able to express herself, using words I had never heard her use before. To our surprise, she even began riding her bike and catching a ball when she could hardly do these before.
The overall benefits that Sophie has had from this treatment are countless. She has had amazing improvements in her reading, writing, spelling and maths. In fact, she got the best report in her life recently. And apart from her sleep, concentration, academic and coordination improving, she is now remember better, she is less irritable and better able to communicate how she is feeling. Sophie is no longer getting anxious. She is also only having a tantrum very occasionally now. And Sophie stopped interrupting us all the time like she used to. We are stocked by the results that Chantal has made with her treatment and highly recommend it to anyone.
