James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
I use mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic approaches for ADHD which combine mindfulness based approaches with psychotherapeutic techniques, to enhance self-awareness, attention regulation, and overall well-being. By cultivating present-moment awareness, individuals with ADHD can observe their experiences without immediate reaction, reducing impulsivity and negative, self limiting mental proliferation.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
I have ADHD myself and lived with it undiagnosed for much of my life, so I understand firsthand how deeply it can affect confidence, relationships, work, emotional regulation, and everyday functioning. Since my diagnosis, I have done extensive research and additional training in this area, while also developing a much deeper understanding of the patterns that can sit underneath years of struggle, overwhelm, shame, and feeling misunderstood. Having a therapist who genuinely understands ADHD, with both personal and professional experience, can make a real difference. I bring both to my work, helping clients understand their minds more clearly, cultivate self-compassion, and receive practical support. My approach is less about labels and more about understanding how your mind works, what keeps repeating, and how you can build a life that fits you better. For some people, finally having a diagnosis can feel incredibly validating and freeing. For others, labels can start to feel limiting or become part of how they define themselves in ways that are not always helpful. What matters most to me is helping you understand yourself more deeply, feel more empowered, and recognise both your struggles and your strengths.

Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
Presenting issues common to ADHD include procrastination, anxiety and avoidance. When anxious feelings become too much, it is easier to turn to avoidance or procrastination as a way to divert attention. We can focus on working through your feelings, including frustration and anger which can appear with greater frequency in those who may be struggling with ADHD.

Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing centre — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
