Bakewell to Derby, 25 miles: ADHD therapy without the wait
ADHD therapy · Bakewell · DE45This page is for adults on a private assessment waiting list in and around Bakewell looking for ADHD therapy that doesn't feel like a template.
The physical clinic is in Derby city centre (DE1). Bakewell sits 25 miles away in the DE45 district, close to Bakewell Show and Chatsworth nearby, with easy access along the A6. Online is available to anyone in the UK.
The work draws on ADHD-informed psychotherapy, hypnotherapy for emotional regulation, structure and executive support coaching — chosen based on what your nervous system, your history, and your current life actually need. That flexibility is the point.

Before you get in touch
Are online sessions ADHD-friendly?+
From the Bakewell caseload, Yes — for many ADHD adults, online sessions reduce travel friction and improve attendance.
What is rejection-sensitive dysphoria?+
The intense emotional response to real or perceived rejection that many ADHD adults describe. It is worked with directly here.
Will I be judged for procrastination or missed sessions?+
No. The system is built to make attendance easier, not to punish it.
Do you understand AuDHD?+
Yes — many clients are autistic and ADHD, and the work is adjusted for both.
How is ADHD therapy different from generic therapy?+
Structure, pacing, session format and homework are all designed with ADHD executive load in mind — so therapy actually gets done, not endlessly restarted.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 2
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 3
Address the driver
Using ADHD-informed psychotherapy and, where useful, hypnotherapy for emotional regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
What sets this practice apart
This practice is BACP-registered, PSA-accredited via the CNHC, and GHSC-accredited for clinical hypnotherapy. That combination — psychotherapy plus advanced hypnotherapy — is deliberately unusual.
- ✓ Rejection-sensitive dysphoria is worked with directly.
- ✓ Therapy adjusted to how ADHD brains actually work — not a neurotypical model with tweaks.
- ✓ Hypnotherapy is used to reduce internal noise and improve emotional regulation.
