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.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- 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
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.

Common questions from Mackworth
Will I be judged for procrastination or missed sessions?+
Here in Mackworth, 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 work with couples where one partner is ADHD?+
Yes — either as ADHD therapy for the individual or via the couples work.
Are online sessions ADHD-friendly?+
Yes — for many ADHD adults, online sessions reduce travel friction and improve attendance.
Do you provide diagnostic assessment?+
No. Diagnosis is a separate service via NHS or private providers; therapy runs alongside that pathway.
