Here to help with ADHD and more

Welcome to Attention Allies, a network and community of qualified and experienced therapists based in the greater Bristol area (UK). We offer online, in room, outdoor and blended counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to adults and young people (16+) who are diagnosed with, or identify as having, an ADHD profile. We also offer specialist supervision to psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches and other allied mental health professionals.

At Attention Allies we pride ourselves on creating dynamic and responsive ways of working. To discover more about us and our work as individual therapists, you can read about each of us on the Therapist Directory page or click through to our individual websites from that page.

If you are looking for information, original articles or personal thoughts about specific aspects of adult ADHD then you might find the free articles on our blog site of interest and use.

While our main focus is to help connect ADHDers to a successful therapeutic and/or coaching space, many of the people we work with also have other neurodivergent (ND) issues such autism (ASD), dyslexia and dyspraxia, and as therapists we are comfortable working with the breadth of ND that people may bring.

In addition to working in room with people, many Attention Allies also work online with ADHDers who live in other towns and cities across the UK such as Exeter, Cambridge, York, Oxford and London. Some of us even work further afield into European countries.

Our network consists of fully qualified therapists who work in accordance with the major UK counselling and psychotherapy professional bodies’ ethical frameworks.

Currently, we are all individual members of one or more of the three biggest professional bodies – BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

We work within a variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities ranging from humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT); some of us additionally offer coaching and blended models of work, which is normally a combination of in-room and online sessions but can be a mix of any number of different approaches depending on the individual therapist’s skill set and defined ways of working. You can also gain some insight about many of us by reading our articles about ADHD on our blog.

While ADHD (ADD) might be the reason you are currently looking for some therapeutic help, ADHDers reach out for counselling, coaching and psychotherapy for a variety of life-experienced difficulties such as:
