Adult ADHD support

Support for adults experiencing attention regulation difficulties, disorganisation, task completion problems, and executive dysfunction affecting work and daily life. Intervention focuses on functional performance and practical strategies.

Support addresses study techniques, time management, organisation, examination preparation, task initiation and completion, and academic coping strategies. Where appropriate, reports can be provided for parents, schools, and referring practitioners.
