Supporting Someone with ADHD Starts with Understanding

Living with ADHD can impact focus, organisation, and emotional regulation, but the right support can make everyday life more manageable. At Oaktree Connect, our doctor-led psychiatrists and psychologists provide specialist ADHD assessments and tailored treatment for children, adolescents, and adults across the UK.

How to Support Someone with ADHD:
🕊️ Be patient – ADHD is neurological, not a lack of effort.
📅 Provide structure – Routines, reminders, and clear expectations reduce stress.
⏸️ Encourage breaks – Short, frequent pauses can improve focus.
🌟 Use positive reinforcement – Notice effort, not just outcomes.
🤝 Stay understanding – Challenges are real and not intentional.

Our CAMHS team, including child & adolescent psychiatrist Dr Sobia Rafi, provides expert ADHD assessment and support for young people.
All services are doctor-led, evidence-based, and available UK-wide online or in-person clinics.

Good-quality sleep is one of the strongest protective factors for mental health and small consistent habits can make a genuine difference to how rested you feel.

✨ Keep a Routine
Going to bed and waking up at similar times helps your body’s natural sleep–wake cycle stay steady.

✨ Create a Calm Space
A quiet, darker, comfortably cool bedroom can encourage deeper, more restorative sleep.

✨ Limit Screen Time Before Bed
Stepping away from phones, laptops, and TV at least an hour before sleep reduces stimulation and supports melatonin release.

✨ Unwind Gently
Light stretching, slow breathing, or reading can help your mind settle so your body is ready for rest.

Sleep difficulties can sometimes be linked to stress, anxiety, trauma, or physical health changes. If these challenges are affecting your day-to-day functioning, structured support may be helpful. Oaktree Connect offers doctor-led psychological assessments, CBT for insomnia, and psychiatric reviews, all online and accessible UK-wide.

For guidance or support, you can visit www.oaktreeconnect.co.uk, or contact the team on +44 7532 650617.

Small daily habits can make a noticeable difference to your mental wellbeing, and they can also work alongside professional care when you need a bit more support.

✨ Practise Daily Gratitude
Noting three things you’re thankful for can help strengthen emotional resilience.

✨ Move Your Body
Regular movement, even a gentle walk can ease stress and regulate mood.

✨ Stay Connected
Maintaining contact with people you trust can offer grounding during difficult moments.

✨ Limit Digital Overload
Stepping back from screens or notifications can help clear mental space.

✨ Prioritise Restful Sleep
Good-quality sleep supports mood stability, concentration, and overall health.

While these steps are meaningful, they’re not always enough on their own. If you’re finding things overwhelming, our doctor-led team at Oaktree Connect provides evidence-based assessments, therapy, and psychiatric support, fully online and accessible across the UK.

🌿 Understanding OCD in Children & Teens

OCD can be quietly overwhelming for young people, especially when intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviours begin to affect daily life. It’s important to remember that OCD is a medical condition,not a behavioural choice.

Gentle, Clinically Informed Ways Families Can Support:

• Recognise OCD as a health condition
• Notice patterns without pressuring them to “stop”
• Keep daily routines steady to reduce stress
• Avoid repetitive reassurance
• Use calm, validating language

Common Signs Families May Notice:

• Repetitive checking behaviours
• Excessive handwashing or cleaning rituals
• Persistent intrusive worries
• Strict routines or “rules” they feel unable to break
• Frequent reassurance-seeking
• Avoidance of certain objects, places, or tasks
• Taking a long time to complete simple routines
• Distress when rituals are interrupted

These signs don’t confirm OCD, but they can indicate that a young person may benefit from a specialist psychiatric assessment supported by our experienced child & adolescent clinicians .
