Adult ADHD Treatment at The OAD Clinic

Our Multidisciplinary Approach

At The OAD Clinic, we combine medication management, behavioural therapy and lifestyle coaching to create a customised Adult ADHD treatment plan. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses your unique challenges, ensuring comprehensive care that fits your needs.

​

Comprehensive ADHD Treatment

We begin with a thorough ADHD assessment, including a detailed medical history, symptom evaluation, and diagnostic tools. This process provides a clear picture of your condition, laying the foundation for effective Adult ADHD treatment tailored to you.

 

Medication Management

Our clinicians offer the latest in ADHD medications, such as stimulants (like Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) and Methylphenidate XL (Concerta), alongside non-stimulant options for those seeking alternatives. We carefully adjust dosages to optimise benefits while minimising side effects like insomnia or appetite changes.

Therapy in Focus: How Our Techniques Help Manage Adult ADHD

Our approach to therapy is designed to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and habits interact.  We also teach you how to apply new strategies for focus, motivation, and self-regulation. Our therapists use structured, evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual’s needs and stage of treatment. 

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for ADHD

CBT helps patients recognise and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to procrastination, distraction, and low motivation. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn to break large tasks into manageable steps, build consistent routines, and develop realistic coping strategies. Many adults find that CBT also improves confidence and reduces frustration related to daily challenges at work or home.

 

ADHD Coaching and Skills Development

Alongside therapy, ADHD-focused coaching supports you in translating treatment goals into daily habits. Sessions may focus on prioritising tasks, managing time, improving communication, and reducing emotional overwhelm. This collaborative process helps you build practical systems that make day-to-day life more predictable and productive.

 

Addressing Emotional Regulation and Co-occurring Difficulties

Because ADHD often overlaps with symptoms of anxiety or mood disturbance, therapy sessions can also include strategies for emotional regulation, stress management, and resilience building. Our clinicians work closely with each patient to ensure that treatment remains balanced and responsive to changes in mood or concentration.

 

A Structured yet Flexible Approach

Our therapy sessions are conducted within a supportive outpatient framework, allowing you to access care alongside your normal commitments. Appointments are arranged to suit your schedule and evolve as your progress continues, ensuring consistent support without unnecessary disruption

Your ADHD Treatment Journey with The OAD Clinic

Following assessment and treatment planning, your journey begins with a personalised care plan designed around your lifestyle, responsibilities, and long-term goals. Every stage of treatment is coordinated by our clinical team to help you achieve focus, structure, and confidence in daily life.

 

Step 1: Collaborative Planning

Your clinician will work with you to set clear treatment goals based on your individual challenges, whether that involves improving concentration, managing restlessness, or building routines for greater productivity. This stage ensures that treatment aligns with both your symptoms and your personal objectives.

 

Step 2: Integrated Treatment Delivery

Treatment typically combines medical support, structured therapy sessions, and practical coaching. While medication may help improve attention and reduce impulsivity, therapy and coaching sessions focus on developing everyday strategies for managing deadlines, relationships, and organisation. The OAD Clinic’s outpatient model allows you to integrate treatment into your normal routine without major disruption.

 

Step 3: Regular Monitoring and Adjustment

Because ADHD symptoms can fluctuate over time, ongoing monitoring is an essential part of your care. Regular reviews allow your clinician to assess progress, refine strategies, and make any necessary medication adjustments to ensure continued improvement and stability.

 

Step 4: Continuing Support and Long-Term Management

Once treatment goals are achieved, the focus shifts toward maintaining progress. You’ll work with your clinician to strengthen coping mechanisms and prevent setbacks through ongoing check-ins and supportive therapy. This long-term partnership helps you sustain focus, manage stress, and maintain balance beyond the clinic setting.

What are the Functional Benefits and Treatment Outcomes of Our Treatment?

Treatment for Adult ADHD at The OAD Clinic is designed not only to reduce symptoms, but also to enhance day-to-day functioning, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. Over time, patients often experience measurable improvements in focus, planning, and overall quality of life. 

 

Improved Focus and Concentration

Through a combination of medication, therapy, and coaching, many individuals find it easier to sustain attention on tasks and manage distractions. This translates into greater productivity at work and better follow-through on personal responsibilities.

 

Better Time Management and Organisation

Treatment helps you develop practical systems to structure your day, prioritise effectively, and break larger goals into achievable steps. These skills are particularly valuable for professionals and students balancing multiple demands.

 

Enhanced Emotional Regulation

Many adults with ADHD struggle with frustration, impulsivity, or mood fluctuations. Therapy and medication management help stabilise emotions, improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships.

 

Greater Self-Esteem and Confidence

As symptoms become more manageable, individuals often experience a renewed sense of control and achievement. This increased confidence supports long-term motivation and resilience in both personal and professional life.

 

Healthier Lifestyle and Wellbeing

By addressing sleep, diet, and physical activity as part of a holistic approach, patients develop habits that support consistent energy levels and mental clarity, helping to sustain improvements beyond active treatment.

 

Sustained Long-Term Progress

Our structured follow-up and monitoring ensure that gains made during treatment continue to strengthen over time. This focus on continuity helps prevent relapse of symptoms and maintains overall balance in daily living.

​

 

Long-Term Management and Continuing ADHD Support

Managing ADHD effectively is an ongoing process. At The OAD Clinic, long-term management focuses on maintaining progress, preventing relapse of symptoms, and adapting treatment as your lifestyle and responsibilities change. Our clinicians work closely with you to ensure that improvements achieved during active treatment are sustained and strengthened over time.

 

Ongoing Clinical Reviews

Regular follow-up appointments allow your clinician to monitor your progress, assess how well current treatment is working, and make any necessary adjustments. Medication doses can be reviewed, and therapy sessions can be reintroduced or modified to suit new challenges. This ongoing review ensures that your treatment remains aligned with your goals and overall wellbeing.

 

Building Long-Term Coping Strategies

Many individuals benefit from developing personalised systems for managing attention, organisation, and time management. Our therapists and coaches support you in refining these tools over time so that they become part of your daily routine. This continued skill development helps reduce reliance on formal sessions while maintaining focus and structure.

 

Supporting Mental Health and Lifestyle Balance

ADHD often coexists with stress, anxiety, or changes in mood that may reappear during busy or demanding life periods. Continued access to clinical support provides reassurance and guidance when these challenges arise. We also encourage healthy habits that promote stability, such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and consistent sleep routines.

 

Flexible Access to Care

As an outpatient service, The OAD Clinic offers flexible long-term management that fits around your professional, family, and social commitments. Whether you attend periodic reviews, therapeutic top-up sessions, or medication consultations, you will continue to receive professional support without disruption to your everyday life.

 

Sustaining Progress Beyond the Clinic

Our aim is to equip you with the insight, confidence, and structure needed to manage ADHD effectively in daily life. Over time, many patients find they can maintain the strategies and habits developed during treatment and return to the clinic only when they require additional review or advice.

Our goal at The OAD Clinic is to empower individuals with Adult ADHD treatment that fosters fulfilling, productive lives. With expert care and personalised strategies, we help you overcome challenges and achieve your potential.
