Recommendations for Psychotherapy or Psychiatrist

Hello, I've previously posted here once seeking help on getting started with ADHD diagnosis.

For the past few months, I've opted to go for a private sector option and finally got my report. Due to overlapping symptoms, the psychologist could not be 100% sure on diagnosing me with ADHD. However, I have also undergone different tests and it turns out I have:

- Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1

- Generalized Anxiety Disorder

In the report, the psychologist recommended:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

The above methods fall under psychotherapy, however, he also mentioned that I have several symptoms related to my anxiety that can be controlled with the use of meds, which also means I can opt to see a psychiatrist too.

I would like some recommendations on what's the best course of action and any recommendated hospitals I could go for further treatment? I was informed that the diagnosis report already serves as a recommendation letter, which I'm aware is a prerequisite for most hospitals.
