About Debbo:
Debbo is Debbie Vida James Scanlan, a Neurodivergent Irish Hybrid, educated in the UK.
Her first degree was a BA in Anglo Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies from The University of Cambridge in 2008. She then became an award winning photographer and director for 15 years @wolfjamescreative working across Europe and the USA and now focuses on special projects.
During lockdown she began her Master’s in Humanistic and Integrative Clinical Psychotherapy at Tivoli, graduating and completing her training in 2024. She has been in practice for the last 2 and a half years and is working towards accreditation.
Her special focus, spanning from a life time working with animals, is what we can learn from non-verbal communication, behaviour, herd dynamics and how we as humans interact with our environments. Working with traumatised animals has also provided a valuable insight into how to approach trauma recovery for humans.
Her Master thesis "Navigating Neurodivergence - Connection, Communication and Adaptation" investigated how to make therapy work better for Neurodivergent Individuals and how everyone can benefit from these adaptations. As an autistic practioner she also has a valuable insight into the lived experience of ND.
Her approach draws from a blend of existential, psychodynamic, psychosynthesis, humanistic and creative principles but is constantly evolving along with her clients. She is very human - warm and funny but when the situation calls for it able to explore the darkest parts of the soul with you. This is a non judgemental affirming safe place to explore the self.

You can not punish, push, or placate yourself into behavioural change.
You must have safety first.
Period.
Most ADHD individuals have experienced a long history of shame surrounding their unique learning process stemming from systems that did not understand nor accommodate difference. Devaluing difference is a fear based response to the unknown and causes untold damage.
As adults, our goal must be to first create a space safe enough to get to know our personal process. Creation is play. Play requires safety. Play requires access to ones inner child. If that inner child feels any shame, pressure, or punishment, they will fight back or freeze. Fear blocks us from our cognitive minds. Safety allows us access.
Every time you pause your inner critic from punishing your inner child, you prove you are able to protect them. Every protection moment builds trust between you and your inner child. They are far more likely to work with you in your goals once that trust is established. Once they are seen without judgement and valued for their uniqueness, they will be unstoppable.
