Specialist CBT for ADHD, addiction and emotional regulation difficulties
I welcome appropriate professional enquiries from GPs, psychiatrists, ADHD clinics, addiction services, therapists and other healthcare professionals seeking online ADHD therapy UK for adults with ADHD, suspected ADHD, addiction or overlapping compulsive behaviour patterns.
Who I work with
Suitable referrals for specialist ADHD and addiction-informed CBT.
I work with adults where ADHD traits, addictive behaviours, emotional dysregulation, shame or impulsive coping patterns are part of the clinical picture.
Suspected ADHD
Ethical support for adults exploring ADHD traits while recognising that therapy is not a formal diagnostic assessment.
Addiction and recovery
Support for relapse prevention, urges, shame cycles, substance use and aftercare following detox or residential rehabilitation.
Alcohol misuse
ADHD addiction specialist support where drinking is linked with racing thoughts, anxiety, sleep, shame or emotional overwhelm.
Gambling difficulties
CBT support for gambling, risk-taking, reward-seeking, impulsivity and financial or relational consequences.
Compulsive behaviours
Support for compulsive spending, cannabis use, avoidance, doom-scrolling and other dopamine-seeking coping patterns.
Emotional dysregulation
Support for overwhelm, shame spirals, rejection sensitivity, anger, shutdown and impulsive reactions.
Complex overlap
Formulation-led work when ADHD, addiction, anxiety, low mood, burnout or relationship patterns are hard to separate.

Referral process
Clear assessment, consent and collaborative working.
- Make an enquiry
Professionals can use the contact page to outline the referral context, presenting difficulties, risk considerations and whether the client has consented to the enquiry.
- Initial assessment
The first stage is a clinical assessment to understand current difficulties, goals, suitability for CBT and whether additional or alternative support may be needed.
- Collaborative working
Where appropriate, and only with explicit client consent, I can liaise with referrers or other professionals involved in care.
- Confidentiality and consent
Client confidentiality is central. Information is shared only where consent has been given, or where there are safeguarding or legal duties to act.
Suitable referrals
Clients who may benefit from specialist formulation-led CBT.

Post-rehabilitation aftercare
Individuals leaving residential rehabilitation or detox services who need structured psychological aftercare and relapse-prevention support.
