ADHD affects 4% of adults
Contact us today to get started on your ADHD/ADD journey
We are a virtual specialist ADHD consultancy service, established by Dr Helen Read.
ADHD Consultancy offers a thorough, affordable and compassionate approach. Our focus is on accurate diagnosis, caring and understanding medical treatment if appropriate, and education around how to understand and manage your ADHD/ADD.
We identify other neurodevelopmental issues which are often comorbid with ADHD or ADD.
We also provide assessment and advice about the many comorbidities, both physical and mental, which can go with ADHD/ADD, and have particular expertise in treating rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation
ADHD/ADD can cause lifelong problems
Undiagnosed ADHD/ADD can lead to a range of challenges that affect individuals throughout their lives.
These challenges include other mental health issues, physical, social, educational and emotional problems, relationship difficulties, and many personal and professional hardships. Unfortunately we can’t change any of these things until we start the ADHD journey
Emotional Impact
Anxiety, depression, shame, failure to achieve, and friendship/relationship difficulties are common.
Personal Hardships
Listening problems, school/university dropout, repeated job losses, family problems, and money problems.

The ADHD/ADD screener is not a diagnosis, but can help you think about whether your symptoms could indicate ADHD/ADD
Remember that if you are high functioning, you will need to subtract the strategies/helpful habits you use to manage or hide some of the difficulties, including spending a lot longer than most people would do to get things done
High functioning people can often hyperfocus on areas they find very interesting, or just prior to deadlines, and so ideally questions should not be answered about things we hyperfocus on, since we find that with ADHD/ADD, sadly we tend to only be able to hyperfocus on the wrong things.
