ADHD/ ADD one to one 8 week course
If you or someone you care about is living with ADD or ADHD, you likely already know that it's more than a diagnosis — it's a complex experience that affects attention, emotion, self-esteem, and relationships. While many treatment approaches focus on managing symptoms, there is another way — one that looks deeper.
Drawing on the powerful insights of Dr. Gabor Maté and my 30 years of experience supporting young people and adults, I am now offering a personalised 8-week one-to-one course, available online or in person designed to explore and support the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
What Makes This Course Different?
This is not a behavioural programme, nor a one-size-fits-all model.
Inspired by the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, particularly his groundbreaking book Scattered Minds, this course is built on the understanding that:
ADD/ADHD is not simply a disorder of attention, but a response to early emotional environments.
Healing comes through understanding, compassion, and reconnection — not blame, shame, or quick fixes.
We will explore how:
Early life stress and emotional disconnection may contribute to your current struggles
Patterns of self-criticism, overwhelm, or impulsivity are rooted in your story — not flaws in your character
You can begin to cultivate greater attention, regulation, and compassion — starting exactly where you are
Who Is It For?
This course is for:
Adults recently diagnosed or self-identifying with ADD/ADHD
Young people (16+) struggling with focus, motivation, or emotional overwhelm
Parents or carers of neurodivergent children seeking support in understanding and responding with more confidence and calm
Anyone who feels scattered, sensitive, or stuck — and is looking for a different lens
What You'll Receive
Each week includes:
A 1:1 session (online or in-person) tailored to your needs
Reflections and tools rooted in relational neuroscience, Gabor Maté’s compassionate inquiry model, and decades of lived and professional experience
Space to explore not just how you behave — but why, and what your behaviour is trying to tell you
Practical support with attention, organisation, emotional regulation, and relationships
A non-judgmental, confidential space to be fully seen and heard
Recorded meditations for in-between sessions
Email or chat support between sessions
What We’ll Explore
1. Understanding ADD/ADHD Differently – Going beyond labels and into the roots
2. The Impact of Early Experiences – What happened to you, not what’s “wrong” with you
3. Stress, Sensitivity & the Nervous System – Why you feel how you feel
4. Shame, Self-Criticism & the Inner Voice – Reclaiming your narrative
5. Focus, Motivation & Emotional Regulation – Gentle strategies that actually work
6. Relationships & Connection – Understanding patterns and finding new ways
7. Self-Compassion & Healing – Moving from coping to thriving
8. Integration & Next Steps – Creating your toolkit for life
Why This Matters
Whether you're newly diagnosed, have lived with ADHD for years, or are just beginning to wonder if this might describe your experience — this course offers a space of warmth, understanding, and possibility.
You don’t have to be “fixed.” You deserve to be understood.
Payment options are available:
Flexible payment plans to spread the cost.
Concessionary rates for those with financial need, offered on a limited basis.
