I'll be writing more about this later!!

ADHD is chronically under diagnosed and the implications of that are catastrophic for some and far reaching.

The NHS has recently released reports and established a taskforce to address challenges in ADHD diagnosis and support. These reports highlight the need for timely access to care, better support services, and a more streamlined system. There are significant waits for diagnosis, and many people report a lack of information during the waiting period.

Workshop 5: Overcoming Procrastination & Planning for the Future
Tuesday 03/02/2026
Our final workshop tackles procrastination—one of the biggest ADHD hurdles—and helps participants support clients in taking consistent action. Through guided exercises and evidence-based approaches, attendees will create personalised anti-procrastination plans and explore goal-setting techniques. The session also includes space for reviewing key learning and planning future support strategies.
About Us
These workshops are created and delivered by Helen and Chris Hoyte—two passionate, down-to-earth counsellors who both live with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and have spent years supporting others with it, too.

“Not yet” isn’t the same as “never.” 💫

Raise your hand if you frequently find yourself pursuing a perfect outcome. 🙋‍

Maybe you spend way more time than necessary perfecting presentations for work, tell yourself that you’re not skilled enough yet to have a difficult and important conversation with a family member, or decide not to join the recreational soccer league in town because you haven’t played in years. What would happen if you stepped back and loosened your grip on your desired result?

Often at work and in life, we miss out on opportunities to connect with our core values due to the restricting pursuit of perfection. Time spent learning, making mistakes, taking risks, and practicing is often just as important as the outcome. It can be scary to pursue the things you care about, but don’t hinder your own growth out of fear of imperfection.

How can you immerse yourself in the process of growth this coming week? How can you free yourself to make music instead of performing for applause?

Really excited to be getting close to our first workshop, and we still have a few spaces left, please share and get in touch if you are interested or have any questions.Thankyou 🙂

I didn’t mean to build an ADHD practice.

But over the years, the patterns became impossible to ignore.

Clients who were bright, creative, capable — and still drowning.
Exhausted from masking. Crumbling under shame. Describing their daily lives like an emotional rollercoaster they couldn’t get off.

I recognised it. In them. In me.

Studies currently show that ADHD affects around 5% of the population, but up to as much as 80-90% of that 5%, especially women, are still undiagnosed. Twice as many men are diagnosed as women, but research shows the actual rates of male-females who have ADHD are closer to 50/50.

That’s why so many women are only now being seen.
Often after years of feeling like everyone else got a manual and they didn’t.

In September, I’m running a workshop for counsellors to explore this together.

Not to diagnose.
But to learn to recognise the patterns.
To understand the chaos behind the coping.
To hold space with clarity and compassion.

You’re warmly welcome — especially if this is new, especially if this is personal.
