Difficulties with focus, attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation can affect many areas of a child's daily life, from learning at school to relationships with friends and family. If you have noticed that your child often seems distracted, restless, or struggles with managing tasks and emotions, this self-assessment offers a private and supportive first step towards greater understanding.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a recognised neurodevelopmental condition that typically emerges during early childhood. It affects the brain's ability to regulate attention, impulses, and levels of physical and mental activity.
ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, a lack of discipline, or character flaws. It reflects underlying differences in brain development and functioning, particularly in areas responsible for executive functioning, emotional regulation, and behaviour management.
Children with ADHD often experience challenges at school, at home, and in social settings. Early recognition and tailored support can make a significant positive difference in helping a child reach their full potential.
We only recruit therapists with extensive experience, the right qualifications, and a genuine passion for helping others because your mental health deserves nothing less than the best.
