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.
How the therapy is structured
- Step 1
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- Step 2
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.

Frequently asked questions
Can hypnotherapy really help ADHD?+
Here in Belper, It doesn't 'cure' ADHD. It does reduce internal noise, improve emotional regulation and support routines — which for many ADHD adults changes everything.
Do you provide diagnostic assessment?+
No. Diagnosis is a separate service via NHS or private providers; therapy runs alongside that pathway.
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.
