A Personal Approach to Adult ADHD Therapy and Assessment

Our Founder's Story:

Dr. Sara Tookey, our founder and lead psychologist, knows firsthand the transformative power of an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood. Her personal journey led her to create the service she wished had existed when she was seeking answers.

I know all about the frustration of long NHS waiting lists and the limitations of quick, impersonal private assessments and support. I know we deserve better. That's why I've developed a service that offers more than just a 'yes' or 'no' diagnosis. A service that tailors therapy and support to the unique individuals we serve.

Here's the Truth:  If you're relating to these experiences, you're not alone. More importantly - your not deficient, just different. We offer a different approach that makes all the difference.​

Mountains at Dusk

Outwardly Successful, Privately Struggling​​​​​​

  • You excel in many areas of life, yet find yourself overwhelmed by tasks or struggling in your private life

Always Adapting

  • You've created endless systems and strategies to keep up or cope, but they somehow always fall apart

Feeling Different

  • Deep down, you sense your brain works differently from others, but can't quite put your finger on why

The Perfect Mask

  • You've become so good at hiding your challenges that no one would guess how hard you're working behind the scenes

Constantly Exhausted

  • You're drained from working twice as hard as others, just to keep up with the expectations or demands of daily life

SOUND FAMILIAR? 

If you're relating to these experiences, you're not alone. More importantly - your not deficient, just different. We offer a different approach that makes all the difference.​
