Dr Laura Hammond
HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist and Qualified ADHD Coach
I am a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and ADHD coach with many years of experience supporting people experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties. Through my clinical work, I became increasingly interested in the ways that unrecognised neurodevelopmental differences, including ADHD, can influence people's emotional wellbeing and experiences of themselves and the world around them.
Many adults with ADHD grow up feeling misunderstood, lost or as though they are fundamentally different from others. Without the right understanding and support, these experiences can contribute to difficulties with self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, relationships and other areas of life.
I also have extensive professional experience in ADHD assessment and have seen the relief and clarity that a diagnosis can bring. While understanding ADHD is often the first step, many people need additional support to move beyond surviving, unlearn unhelpful coping strategies or beliefs, and begin to thrive. Alongside my own personal experiences, this led me to specialise in ADHD and to offer psychological therapy and coaching that support meaningful, lasting change.

Clinical Experience
I have experience supporting adults experiencing a range of mental health difficulties, alongside specialist experience assessing adults for ADHD, autism and specific learning differences (SpLDs).
This broader clinical experience informs the way that I work with ADHD, allowing me to consider the whole person rather than focusing solely on ADHD symptoms. I recognise that ADHD can overlap with, interact with, or be affected by other psychological experiences, and I take a thoughtful and individualised approach to understanding what each person needs.
