about adhd

counsellors directory

this website has been founded by necessity, and from my own experience seeking adhd and neurodivergent support.

like many of the stories I have heard in my work with adhd clients, my own adhd went somehow undetected until a combination of luck, timing, and stumbling across some information led to a diagnosis which changed my life, and completely re-framed my past. I sought counselling support, but found only long waiting lists and an alarming lack of understanding of the condition.

a bacp and ncs-registered counsellor myself, my openness about my diagnosis has seen me contacted by more people seeking adhd support than I could ever accommodate, each affected in their own way, but joined by stories of unfulfilled potential and feelings of alienation.

this website contains information about adhd and a directory of counsellors specifically screened by me for either their lived or working experince of adhd and neurodiversity. I have designed this website to be as simple and adhd-friendly but if you have any feedback, please send an email – i’m always looking to make the site as straighforward and accessible as possible.

if you’re here to learn more about adhd, head to our ‘about’ page. it’s packed with information about the conditon.

thanks for visiting,
david levy

And why actually being neurodivergent is not a curse. It's a difference in the brain.

Why is society so fixed on disbelieving people's struggles?

Why do families not accept there adult children's diagnosis?

Why do we punish those who are struggling with stigma?

And diagnostic tools are tick box excercises for a reason. To standardise assessments so we all know what we're taking about. I would worry if they weren't. If professionals just had a funny feeling and didn't ask specific questions I would be very, very worried.

This programme is incredibly harmful to those with ADHD diagnosis. Given the massive shame many of us carry from not being diagnosed as children the harm cannot be understated.

We've spent our whole lives thinking there was something *morally* wrong with us. So one-sided.

No follow up to "...up to a 5 year waiting list with the NHS..." And more than a small suggestion that complicated, powerful drugs are pay-for-play.

Not just a poor representation of the condition, it was like exploring diabetes by looking at Easter egg sales.
