Adjusting to your ADHD diagnosis
Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD, whether recently or years ago can bring up a complex mix of emotions: relief, confusion, grief, or even self-doubt. You might find yourself rethinking your past, questioning your strengths, or wondering “What now?”
This compassionate 6-week programme offers a structured, supportive space to explore what ADHD really means for you beyond the label and how to move forward with clarity, confidence, and kindness toward yourself.
This structured programme offers a compassionate, evidence-based space to explore how ADHD uniquely affects you and how to work with your brain, not against it.

Why have weekly therapy sessions?
Guidance
Sessions can help you make sense of what comes up in the workbooks so you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed.
Personalisation
As a therapist I can help tailor tools and strategies to fit your real life - not just general advice
Emotional support
Unpacking ADHD can bring up difficult emotions. Therapy offers a space to be heard and validated.
Accountability and momentum
Weekly sessions can help you stay engaged with the process and feel supported every step of the way.
Therapy vs coaching
The below explains why a CBT Therapist who specialises in ADHD may be more beneficial than working with an ADHD coach
-
NICE guidelines recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for adults with ADHD, particularly to support with difficulties such as low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and executive functioning challenges.
ADHD often comes with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, or low self-esteem. As a CBT therapist, I can help you address the underlying psychological issues, not just surface-level behaviors.
-
75% of adults with ADHD have at least one co-exisitng mental health condition, if these aren’t addressed, coaching alone may not be effective.
-
Many ADHD clients struggle not just with doing, but with thinking e.g. negative self-talk, rejection sensitivity, procrastination cycles, which require therapeutic intervention, not just coaching.
We can work together to understand how ADHD impacts self-image, mood, motivation and relationships and work to reduce self-criticism, shame and overwhelm.
-
Whilst coaching can offer excellent support alongside therapy, it may not create deep, lasting change on its own. Therapy can help you change unhelpful thought patterns and develop lifelong emotional resilience skills
