ADHD in women: understanding the overwhelm, the masking and the exhaustion
We’re seeing an increasing number of women coming forward to explore ADHD, often after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, emotionally exhausted or wondering why everyday life seems to take so much effort.
Supporting women through the female experience of ADHD with clinical assessments and our 10-week workshop programme. Remote UK-wide.
ADHD in women can often present differently from the stereotypes we’ve traditionally associated with it.
“Why can’t I cope like everyone else?”
It’s the question our ADHD in Women programme is built to move away from, towards a different one: “How can I understand myself and work with my brain?”
ADHD in women can often present differently from the stereotypes we’ve traditionally associated with it. Masking, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, executive functioning difficulties, hyperfocus and burnout can all form part of the picture.
Our clinical team recognises that neurodevelopmental differences can present differently across individuals, particularly in females and those who have developed masking or compensatory strategies.

As both a clinician working within neurodivergence and someone diagnosed later in life, I think we need thoughtful, evidence-based conversations about ADHD. We should absolutely be able to discuss concerns around assessment and diagnosis, but without invalidating people in the process.
Two ways to start
A full ADHD assessment
Typically 4–6 hours of clinical sessions, a multi-disciplinary review, and a comprehensive written report with recommendations. Adult fee: £1,200, VAT included. Start with a £180 screening appointment, taken off your assessment fee if you go ahead.

ADHD in Women: From Surviving to Thriving
Across the programme, we’ll explore ADHD through the female experience: helping women better understand their brains, emotions, relationships, executive functioning and patterns of masking and burnout, alongside practical strategies for everyday life. Because understanding yourself can be the beginning of thriving, rather than simply surviving.
