ADHD support in London
What can CBT-based support for adults with ADHD focus on?
This is CBT-based support for adults with ADHD, focused on the executive-function challenges, task initiation, follow-through, time, overwhelm, rather than diagnosis or medication. We build practical strategies that work with how your attention actually operates instead of against it. At The Lyceum, Sanah Younis, a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, delivers this in Chiswick, Ealing and Richmond, or online. This is not an ADHD assessment or diagnostic service. The work is practical, adaptive and non-diagnostic. Assessment considers task initiation, follow-through, time, overwhelm, environment and whether CBT-based support is the right fit alongside other care. Does this sound familiar?

It does not provide ADHD diagnosis, assessment, prescribing or medication management. What could become more possible Strategies that work with attention rather than against it. More workable routines around time, tasks and overwhelm. How we measure progress This service is non-diagnostic and non-prescribing. Assessment focuses on current wellbeing, daily friction and whether CBT-based support is appropriate. Assessment-led alongside No diagnostic measure is used. This is a non-diagnostic, non-prescribing service. It is not an ADHD assessment, diagnostic or medication service. Where diagnostic or medical input is needed, assessment can discuss the appropriate route. The room often holds a heavy sense of frustration and misunderstood potential. I see a client who possesses incredible insight and knows exactly what they want to achieve, but faces a profound barrier at the point of action. They have unfairly internalised this as a character flaw. The therapeutic work is deeply practical and validating: we bypass the internal friction by collaboratively building external supports, creating a compassionate environment where their unique executive function can thrive.
