ADHD in adults
ADHD can have a significant impact on every aspect of life, including daily organisation, family and social relationships, education, work and self-esteem.
During adulthood, increasing responsibilities and mental demands often make these challenges more noticeable. The right support can help you better understand how your brain works, develop effective coping strategies, overcome associated difficulties and build lasting skills to reach your full potential.

A Fully Personalised Approach
-
There is no single "type" of ADHD: although people with ADHD share common characteristics, every individual experiences and expresses the condition differently, depending on their personality, life circumstances and the possible presence of co-occurring conditions. Symptom severity also varies considerably, ranging from relatively mild difficulties to a significant impact on daily functioning.
-
Because no two people experience ADHD in exactly the same way, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment: depending on your individual needs, therapy may initially focus more on psychoeducation, ADHD coaching or the treatment of associated emotional and psychological difficulties.
-
The goal is to provide flexible, individualised support tailored to your unique profile, ensuring that therapy addresses the challenges that matter most to you.

Specialist Training: in addition to my initial training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I completed the French Inter-University Diploma (DIU) "ADHD Across the Lifespan" at the University of Strasbourg, a postgraduate programme specialising in the assessment and management of ADHD.
Evidence-Based Treatment for ADHD
-
Current clinical guidelines recommend a multimodal approach to ADHD treatment: this typically combines medication (most commonly methylphenidate) with non-pharmacological interventions. Among these, psychoeducation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools for managing everyday life, reducing procrastination, improving emotional regulation and addressing the psychological difficulties frequently associated with ADHD, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem.
How Do I Know If I Have ADHD?
-
ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive clinical assessment. There is no blood test, brain scan or other medical test that can confirm the diagnosis. The diagnosis is based on the presence of persistent symptoms of inattention, often accompanied by hyperactivity (which in adults commonly presents as inner restlessness) and impulsivity. These symptoms must have a significant impact on at least two areas of daily life, such as work, education, relationships or home life.
-
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood and frequently persists into adulthood, although its presentation often changes over time. Some people are only diagnosed as adults because their symptoms were not recognised during childhood or because they developed effective coping strategies that masked their difficulties for many years.

Wondering Whether You Might Have ADHD? Let's talk about it! Recognising ADHD in adulthood can be life-changing. For many people, receiving an accurate diagnosis brings clarity after years of confusion, frustration and exhaustion. It also opens the door to evidence-based support and a personalised treatment plan that can make everyday life significantly easier.
