Pride Park ADHD support that respects your time
In Pride Park and the wider Derby, the common thread for professionals managing burnout isn't the diagnosis — it is the exhaustion. That's the starting point of this page.
The clinic is at Wilson Street in Derby's DE1 postcode, 1 miles from Pride Park and reachable via the A52 / Pride Parkway in about 5 minutes on a normal weekday morning. Nearby areas including Normanton, Littleover, Chaddesden are all within an easy service radius.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with couples where one partner is ADHD?+
From the Pride Park caseload, Yes — either as ADHD therapy for the individual or via the couples work.
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.
Is late-diagnosis grief a normal part of this?+
Very. It is treated as a real, worked-with theme, not brushed past.
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.
Can this help with masking exhaustion?+
Yes. Reducing internal masking is one of the most common outcomes clients notice.

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
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
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
