Whether you are formally diagnosed with ADHD or self-identifying as ADHD (also valid) - our support team offers compassionate understanding and an empowering neurodivergent-affirming approach. We work with you to ensure that you receive the personalised care and resources you need to thrive with ADHD in adulthood.
Discover compassionate, comprehensive ADHD assessments informed by NICE clinical guidelines. Our experienced Clinical Psychologists offer a therapeutic and holistic approach to your mental well-being, ensuring personalised care and understanding.
We offer preparation (harm reduction) and integration support, and educational resources for adults who've encountered non-ordinary states of consciousness (including psychedelic-assisted therapy). Whether integrating positive insights or healing from challenges, our therapists provide an empathetic space to consider and process your journey.
