ADHD post diagnosis support

This page is for GPs, psychiatrists, ADHD prescribers, and other health professionals referring adults who need psychological therapy and post-diagnosis support alongside (or following) ADHD diagnosis and medication management.

I provide structured, evidence-based therapy for adults where ADHD and trauma-related difficulties overlap, particularly in high-functioning, masking professionals.

When this is a good fit

This pathway is often a good fit when a client:

  • Has a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and wants post-diagnosis psychological support and therapy

  • Is high-functioning externally but struggling with burnout, overwhelm, shame, or emotional dysregulation

  • Has a trauma history (developmental/relational trauma, attachment trauma, occupational trauma) that is maintaining symptoms

  • Experiences anxiety, panic, avoidance, or phobic responses alongside ADHD traits

  • Benefits from an ADHD-informed approach (clear structure, explicit pacing, practical tools)

Important note on ADHD assessment

I am trained in ADHD diagnosis; however, I am not currently offering ADHD assessments. I do offer post-diagnosis support and psychological therapy.

What therapy focuses on

Work is collaborative, structured, and skills-based, with a focus on real-world functioning. Depending on presentation, therapy may include:

  • Stabilisation and nervous system regulation skills (sleep, grounding, distress tolerance)

  • ADHD-informed strategies that reduce shame and increase follow-through

  • Trauma processing where clinically appropriate (including EMDR)

  • Addressing maintaining patterns (perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, over-control, self-criticism)

  • Integration and relapse prevention (sustainable routines, boundaries, support systems)

Therapy approach

Therapy is collaborative, structured, and skills-based. I primarily use:

  • EMDR

  • CBT

  • Trauma-informed, neurodiversity-informed adaptations (clear structure, practical tools, and a focus on functioning)

Where clinically appropriate, work often follows a phased approach (stabilisation → processing → integration), with careful pacing and attention to safety.

  • Private outpatient therapy isn’t the right setting for every presentation. I’m not able to accept referrals where there is:

    • Active suicidality

    • High risk of harm to self or others

    • Substance dependence

    • Unmanaged psychosis

    • Severe eating disorders

    • Any presentation that is otherwise unsuited to private practice/outpatient work or requires a higher level of care

  • To help me screen for fit and offer the right level of care, it’s helpful if the referral includes:

    • Reason for referral (main trauma-related difficulties and what you’d like therapy to support)

    • Risk summary (any current/historical risk issues and your current risk plan, if applicable)

    • Neurodivergence considerations (diagnosis/suspected traits; sensory/communication needs; reasonable adjustments)

    • Relevant history (brief mental health history; high-level trauma history; previous therapy/treatment response)

    • Current treatment (medication(s) and any other services involved)

    • Client goal (what the client wants to be different after therapy)
