The approach here is integrative: ADHD-informed psychotherapy, hypnotherapy for emotional regulation, structure and executive support coaching, delivered inside a clear structure. It's not open-ended talking therapy — sessions are focused, and change is expected inside a sensible window.
What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
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 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
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
The evidence behind the work
Trust in therapy is earned session by session. It is also underwritten by proper credentials: BACP-registered, CNHC-registered on the PSA-accredited register, and GHSC-accredited for hypnotherapy.
- ✓ Rejection-sensitive dysphoria is worked with directly.
- ✓ Hypnotherapy is used to reduce internal noise and improve emotional regulation.
- ✓ Therapy adjusted to how ADHD brains actually work — not a neurotypical model with tweaks.

Before you get in touch
Can hypnotherapy really help ADHD?+
From the Heanor caseload, 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.
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 this help with masking exhaustion?+
Yes. Reducing internal masking is one of the most common outcomes clients notice.
