Dr Rebecca Eaton- Clinical Psychologist at Shore Psychology

Dr Rebecca Eaton
Clinical Psychologist

“I am an approachable and compassionate psychologist who values collaboration and understanding. I know that seeking an autism or ADHD assessment can feel daunting, and my aim is to make the process as reassuring and supportive as possible. Every assessment is tailored to you and your family members, and will focus on your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I will work with you to make the process meaningful and relevant to you. I am passionate about helping people understand themselves in a way that makes them feel capable and supported.“

I have worked in the NHS for 8 years, and within psychology services for the past 6 years. I have experience assessing and supporting neurodivergent individuals of all ages. I have specialist experience in autism assessment and use gold-standard tools and a neuro-affirming approach to provide clear, thoughtful feedback and recommendations that genuinely fit each individual’s life. I also have experience in ADHD assessment and in supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health needs. In addition to assessment, I provide post-diagnostic support and autism-specific interventions to help clients apply recommendations in their everyday lives. I understand the importance of taking time to get a holistic view of each person’s unique story. My goal is for every client to leave an assessment feeling understood and empowered.
