ADHD treatment, built around you
From medication and titration to coaching and everyday strategies, we’ll help you find what works well for you and your life.
Who needs support?
ADHD medication
Medication is one tool among many. Some people use it everyday, others for specific periods of time. Our clinicians will help you decide if medication is a good option for you.
Medication can help with
Focus and attention
Managing overwhelm
Emotional regulation
Organisation and routine
Starting ADHD medication
If you receive a positive diagnosis, we'll discuss your options with you. If medication is appropriate, we'll help find the right medication and dose for you – a process called 'titration'. Here's how it works:
- Step 1
Provide your medical history
First, we'll assess your medical background and physical health to make sure it's safe for you to start ADHD medication.
- Step 2
Speak to a clinician
Next, you'll meet with a specialist to discuss the medications available, your treatment goals and what to expect.
- Step 3
Start on a low dose
This gives your body time to adjust. We'll give you clear guidance on how and when to take your medication.
- Step 4
Join regular reviews
You'll check in with your clinician every four weeks, over a 12 week period. They'll adjust your dose if needed.
- Step 5
Reach an optimal dose
After eight straight weeks on a stable dose, you can decide how you'd like to manage your medication moving forward.

Practical tools to support you at home
'Medication hasn't made me superhuman. But it's given me the tools to actually do the things I want or need to do. I still find it hard to get out of bed some mornings. But taking my medication first gives me the momentum to shower, brush my teeth and even get through the things I've been putting off for weeks.'
Your questions, answered
Will medication change my personality?
No, ADHD medication doesn't change who you are. Many people describe the effect like ‘quietening’ their brain, helping them think more clearly. But if it ever feels like it's flattening how you feel, tell your clinician so they can adjust your treatment.
Do I have to take medication every day?
Not necessarily. Some people take it every day, others use it only during busier periods, like a big project at work or exam season. Your clinician will help you work out what's best for you.
Are there side effects?
ADHD medication is safe and effective for most people, but like all medications, there are potential side effects, and everyone’s experience is unique. Learn more.
How will my clinician decide on my medication?
We'll consider your medical history, any other health conditions, and how you respond to treatment. It may take a few adjustments to find the right fit – this is completely normal. That's what the titration process is for.
What if the first medication I try doesn't work?
This is common. If a medication or dose isn't right for you, your clinician will adjust your treatment. You may try a different dose or switch to a different medication.
Can I take medication with another condition?
Your clinician will review your full medical history before prescribing. They'll factor in any other conditions you have when recommending a medication.
