let’s talk about

ADHD

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. While commonly associated with hyperactivity and inattention, ADHD presents differently in each individual. Some experience restlessness and impulsivity, while others struggle with chronic forgetfulness, difficulty starting tasks, or time blindness.

ADHD is not a sign of laziness or a lack of intelligence—it is simply a different way of processing the world.

Many people with ADHD excel in creative problem-solving, innovation, and high-energy pursuits. However, challenges with organisation, emotional regulation, and maintaining attention in structured environments can make daily life feel overwhelming.

At Sage Psychology, we provide ADHD therapy and assessments in London, helping individuals better understand their minds, embrace their strengths, and develop strategies for success.

Common ADHD Challenges

Although every individual with ADHD is unique, some common struggles include:

  • Difficulty focusing, leading to procrastination or missed deadlines

  • Hyperfocus, where intense concentration on one task makes it difficult to
    shift attention

  • Impulsivity, affecting decision-making and emotional responses

  • Forgetfulness and disorganisation, making routine tasks overwhelming

  • Time blindness, struggling to estimate or manage time effectively

  • Emotional dysregulation, including sudden frustration, anxiety, or mood swings

  • Burnout from masking, the exhaustion of trying to appear neurotypical

  • Low self-esteem, often due to negative past experiences or feeling
    "different"

ADHD ASSESSMENTS

If you suspect you have ADHD and want a formal diagnosis, we also provide comprehensive ADHD assessments in London. Our gold-standard assessments follow NICE guidelines, using structured interviews, validated questionnaires, and input from multiple sources to ensure an accurate and thorough evaluation.

Our ADHD Assessment Process includes:

  • A three-hour clinical interview, gathering detailed developmental history.

  • Use of gold-standard diagnostic tools in line with ICD-11 and DSM-5 criteria

  • A comprehensive written report outlining findings and recommendations

  • A feedback session to discuss results and next steps

  • Post-diagnostic support, including therapy and ADHD coaching if needed

strategies FOR MANAGing ADHD

  1. Understanding your brain – Recognising how ADHD affects you can reduce frustration and encourage self-compassion.

  2. Externalising organisation – Using planners, timers, and visual reminders can help structure daily tasks.

  3. Body-doubling techniques – Working alongside someone else, even virtually, can improve focus and accountability.

  4. Regulating stimulation – Managing sensory input, such as using white noise or movement breaks, can help with concentration.

  5. Reframing procrastination – Breaking tasks into smaller steps and using momentum-based strategies can improve productivity.

  6. Advocating for accommodations – Understanding your needs and communicating them at work or school can ease stress.

  7. Seeking professional support – Therapy can provide tailored strategies for managing ADHD in daily life.
