Private ADHD Consultations in Marlborough
ADHD Consultations at Sloane Street Surgery Marlborough
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a form of neurodiversity that can affect focus, organisation, emotional regulation and energy levels.
Many people seek medical advice when they feel that ADHD may explain ongoing challenges at school, university, work or in daily life.
At Sloane Street Surgery Marlborough we provide thoughtful ADHD consultations for both adults and children, focusing on understanding how symptoms affect everyday life and supporting individuals and their families to develop practical strategies that allow them to thrive.
We see patients from Marlborough and across Wiltshire, as well as those living along the Hampshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire borders. Online consultations mean expert ADHD care is accessible wherever you are based.
Appointments are available in person or online, with initial consultations lasting an hour.
Understanding ADHD
Neurodiversity includes a wide range of cognitive profiles, including ADHD, autism and dyslexia. Increasingly we recognise that these conditions often exist along a spectrum of traits rather than fitting neatly into fixed categories.
ADHD traits may include:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Forgetfulness or disorganisation
- Restlessness or impulsivity
- Emotional sensitivity
- Challenges with time management
- Difficulty completing tasks
These traits can present differently in different people and may change throughout life
Our Approach
Our consultations focus on understanding the individual rather than simply applying a label.
During an ADHD consultation we may explore:
- Symptoms and personal history
- How difficulties affect daily life
- Strategies to support organisation and focus
- Sleep, nutrition and routine
- Support for school, university or work
In some cases a diagnosis can help individuals access support or resources. In others, the most important step is gaining a clearer understanding of strengths and challenges.
