For ADHD, the toolkit here spans ADHD-informed psychotherapy, hypnotherapy for emotional regulation, structure and executive support coaching. Which combination is used depends entirely on what's presenting in the room — not on a fixed protocol pushed onto every client.
The approach in practice
- Step 1
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 2
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 3
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 4
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
What we tend to see in Duffield
There isn't one 'typical Duffield client'. But across adults on a private assessment waiting list, some patterns come up often enough that they're worth naming here — because recognising them is often the first useful step:
- ›emotional dysregulation
- ›burnout
- ›relationship strain
- ›sleep and routine collapse
- ›impulsivity and reactivity
- ›high-functioning burnout
- ›midlife anxiety
Before you get in touch
Will I be judged for procrastination or missed sessions?+
Here in Duffield, No. The system is built to make attendance easier, not to punish it.
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.
Can this help with masking exhaustion?+
Yes. Reducing internal masking is one of the most common outcomes clients notice.
Do you understand AuDHD?+
Yes — many clients are autistic and ADHD, and the work is adjusted for both.
Is late-diagnosis grief a normal part of this?+
Very. It is treated as a real, worked-with theme, not brushed past.
Trust and credentials
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.
- ✓ Sessions are structured to hold your attention, not lose it.
- ✓ Rejection-sensitive dysphoria is worked with directly.
- ✓ Therapy adjusted to how ADHD brains actually work — not a neurotypical model with tweaks.
