Find an experienced ADHD-informed therapist
Welcome to Attention Allies – more than a directory
Attention Allies is a carefully curated, Bristol-based directory of independently practising psychotherapists, counsellors and psychotherapeutic coaches with experience supporting adults and young people (16+) who identify as having, or have been diagnosed with, an ADHD or AuDHD profile. Alongside our directory, we publish original articles written by practitioners to offer thoughtful, informed perspectives on ADHD, therapy and neurodivergence.
Whether you are looking for support in Bristol or online across the UK, our aim is to make it easier to find an experienced professional whose way of working feels right for you.
Find the right therapist
Each of the Attention Allies works independently and brings their own professional background, therapeutic approach and areas of special interest within ADHD to both the directory and our articles. Some offer therapy, some therapeutic coaching, some both; many work both online and in person and a few in the outdoors with walk and talk.
Our directory allows you to explore individual profiles, discover how each therapist works and visit their own websites to learn more before making contact with them directly. Search our directory here.
Professional standards
All Attention Allies are fully qualified practitioners and members of one or more recognised UK professional bodies, including BACP, UKCP and NCPS. Each of the Attention Allies works within the ethical framework of their professional body and maintains their own independent practice.
More than a directory
An extensive library of practitioner-written articles
Beyond finding a therapist, Attention Allies is also home to a developing and already extensive library of practitioner-written articles exploring ADHD, therapy and neurodivergence. Rather than providing generic advice, these articles draw on years of therapeutic experience and explore many different aspects of adult ADHD, neurodivergence, relationships, diagnosis, burnout, emotional wellbeing and everyday life.
Whether or not you choose to work with one of our therapists, we hope these resources are informative, thought-provoking and useful. Visit our article blog library here.
The people we work with
While ADHD is the primary focus of Attention Allies, many of the individuals and couples we work with also bring other forms of neurodivergence, including autism (ASD), dyslexia, dyspraxia (DCD) and related differences. As therapists, we are comfortable working with the breadth of neurodivergent experiences that people may bring to therapy.
Many individuals and couples first seek therapeutic help because of ADHD, but the issues they bring are often much broader. Attention Allies work with people experiencing challenges such as:
- anxiety and depression
- emotional overwhelm and burnout
- relationships and attachment
- self-esteem and identity
- organisation and executive functioning
- procrastination and motivation
- addiction and compulsive behaviours
- adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis
- autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other forms of neurodivergence.
Every therapist has their own particular interests and experience, so we encourage you to explore the directory to find someone whose approach feels like a good fit for you.
About Attention Allies
Attention Allies was created in 2024 by Duncan E. Stafford (GPsyC Reg, MBACP Reg and Accred) to bring together experienced practitioners who have a genuine interest in working with ADHD and neurodivergence. While each of the Attention Allies runs their own independent practice, together on this site we make it easier for people to access informed therapeutic support and high-quality information.
Whether you are looking for a therapist or simply want to deepen your understanding of ADHD, we hope you find something here that helps.
