What We Do
Own Your ADHD is a clinical psychology practice, offering services to individuals looking to improve their functioning, raise their quality of life and develop their understanding of their strengths and needs.
Why We Do It
ADHD can be straight forward to diagnose and treat, but there are also diagnostic populations who share characteristics of ADHD (e.g. OCD, autism spectrum, bipolar disorder, strong personality traits or personality diagnoses) but who rarely end up working with clinicians who have the necessary spread of skills and experience in these other presentations. Own Your ADHD can offer formats of treatment that are not often found in the NHS or hospital settings making sure you get what you need, when you need it.
