Darley Abbey ADHD therapy — grounded, integrative, BACP-registered
ADHD therapy for Darley Abbey, DE22 is offered both in-person in Derby city centre and securely online, so the option that fits your week is the option you get.
From Darley Abbey it's roughly 2 miles down the A6 Duffield Road to the Wilson Street clinic in DE1. Clients often combine in-person sessions with online sessions between appointments, particularly during busy weeks.

The approach in practice
- Step 1
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 2
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- 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
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
What clients ask before booking
Can this help with masking exhaustion?+
From the Darley Abbey caseload, Yes. Reducing internal masking is one of the most common outcomes clients notice.
Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis first?+
No. This work is available whether you are diagnosed, self-identified, or waiting on assessment.
Will I be judged for procrastination or missed sessions?+
No. The system is built to make attendance easier, not to punish it.
Can hypnotherapy really help ADHD?+
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 understand AuDHD?+
Yes — many clients are autistic and ADHD, and the work is adjusted for both.
