(Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

ADHD

What is ADHD?

ADHD is not a lack of motivation - it’s a different way of processing the world. It affects how attention, impulses, and energy are managed, often creating challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation, or restlessness. For many adults, ADHD can go unrecognised for years, especially when symptoms are masked by high achievement, people-pleasing, or anxiety.
 

Living with ADHD may feel like being in constant motion - mentally or physically - with difficulty switching off or following through. It can also mean intense focus at times (hyperfocus), deep sensitivity, and creative thinking. But without support or understanding, the experience can lead to self-doubt, burnout, and feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
 

At The Knightsbridge Practice, we offer a space to understand your brain with compassion and clarity - whether you’re newly diagnosed, self-identifying, or simply curious. Therapy is not about changing who you are - it’s about helping you work with your mind, not against it.

Common signs of ADHD

  • Difficulty focusing, finishing tasks, or following through
     

  • Feeling easily overwhelmed or disorganised
     

  • Forgetfulness, losing track of time, or procrastination
     

  • Impulsivity or restlessness (mental or physical)
     

  • Emotional sensitivity or mood swings
     

  • Chronic self-criticism or shame from missed expectations
     

  • Burnout from overcompensating or masking symptoms

How therapy can help

Therapy can offer both practical support and emotional insight, helping you understand your ADHD and create a life that honours your needs, strengths, and challenges. Our work together may include:
 

  • Exploring how ADHD shows up in your life - including masking, rejection sensitivity, and self-worth
     

  • Developing tools and routines that work with your unique way of thinking
     

  • Unpacking perfectionism, shame, or burnout
     

  • Improving emotional regulation and stress management
     

  • Strengthening time management, motivation, and boundaries
     

  • Supporting relationships, work, or identity questions linked to ADHD

Whether you’re seeking a diagnosis, adjusting to new awareness, or looking to make everyday life more manageable, therapy offers a supportive place to feel seen, empowered, and understood.
