Dr du Sautoy works with ADHD by combining psychoeducation, practical skills coaching, and evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Dr du Sautoy helps clients understand their neurobiology, develop tailored organizational strategies to manage executive dysfunction, unpack shame or past trauma, and reframe their ADHD traits as strengths.
The treatment for ADHD is highly collaborative and typically focuses on:
Understanding the Brain: how ADHD affects the brain’s dopamine levels and executive functions. This removes the blame for missed deadlines or emotional dysregulation.
It also helps with Rebuilding Self-Esteem: Many individuals with ADHD carry years of accumulated criticism. It also helps reframe past failures and address “rejection sensitivity” to rebuild confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Is utilised to Reframe Thoughts, help clients identify negative self-talk, perfectionism, or paralysis that often stems from ADHD.
As well as Managing Impulsivity: It helps clients pause before reacting, regulate intense emotions, and manage impulsive behaviours.
Executive Function & Practical Strategies: Instead of applying generic advice, Dr du Sautoy helps clients experiment with highly individualized tools—such as visual planners, smartphone apps, or body-doubling.
Task Management: Dr du Sautoy assists in breaking down overwhelming goals into manageable, step-by-step actions to overcome time blindness and procrastination.
Addressing Comorbidities: Dr du Sautoy evaluates and treats overlapping mental health challenges like GAD : generalized anxiety or depression, ensuring that the whole person is supported.
Lastly, the therapy is focusing on Strengths: Rather than solely focusing on deficits, Dr du Sautoy helps clients leverage the positive aspects of ADHD—such as heightened creativity, divergent thinking, and the ability to hyper-focus on interests
