You might be here because:

  • You were diagnosed with ADHD later in life and are still processing what that means

  • You look like you’re coping but inside, something isn’t right

  • You’ve spent years masking or pushing yourself to keep up

  • Previous therapy didn’t quite understand or fit with your ADHD

  • You want to actually understand yourself, not just manage symptoms

 

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.

This psychotherapy is particularly suited to:

Late-diagnosed adults who want to understand themselves at a deeper level and integrate ADHD into their sense of self.
​
Women with ADHD, especially those whose ADHD was missed due to masking, anxiety, or high achievement.
​
Professionals and high-functioning adults who seem to be coping externally but feel overwhelmed or disconnected inside.
​
People who’ve tried therapy before, and it didn’t quite land 
Often because the therapist didn’t really understand ADHD, or the approach was too structured for how your brain actually works.
​
Adults navigating the gap between knowing what’s right and not being able to rely on acting on it 
The specific frustration of caring deeply but your brain not consistently following through. If that gap causes you shame, this therapy addresses it directly.

This therapy is:
  • One-to-one psychotherapy for adults (18+)

  • ADHD-informed and neurodiversity-affirming

  • Reflective, relational, and emotionally focused

  • Drawing on psychodynamic, ACT, and CBT+ approaches, tailored to what you need rather than a single fixed method

  • Delivered by a GMC-registered psychiatrist with psychotherapy training

 
This therapy is not:
  • ADHD coaching

  • A productivity or performance service

  • Rigid or manualised - the approach adapts to you, not the other way round

  • Crisis or emergency care

  • A replacement for medication management or psychiatric assessment

 

Clear boundaries help therapy feel safe, and these are discussed openly from the start.

Sessions are:

  • Online (secure video)

  • 50 minutes

  • Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly

  • Calm, thoughtful, and paced

  • Focused on understanding patterns rather than changing who you are

 
There’s no pressure to perform, optimise, or arrive with the “right” problem.

About Me

I’m Dr Malcolm Scobbie, a psychiatrist (MRCPsych) offering psychotherapy specifically for adults with ADHD. I also have ADHD, diagnosed in adulthood, and that dual perspective shapes how I work. I understand the clinical picture and the lived experience, and I take both seriously.

​

I trained in psychiatry with integrated psychotherapy competencies, including psychodynamic psychotherapy and art therapy. I currently work in a specialist adult ADHD service, assessing, diagnosing, and treating ADHD across a range of presentations.

​

My style is calm, direct, and unhurried. I maintain a small caseload because depth matters to me more than volume. There’s no pressure to arrive with the right problem. We work at your pace, and the understanding builds over time.

Dr Malcolm Scobbie
