CBT for ADHD: Therapy that builds focus and control

CBT for ADHD at RTN Mental Health is structured for the ADHD mind: fast-paced, intuitive, and creative, but often pulled in too many directions. Our experts specialise in neurodevelopmental therapy for ADHD and follow NHS and NICE guidelines for safe, effective care. Sessions are practical, visual, and goal-led and help improve focus, organisation, and emotional balance day-to-day.

How CBT for ADHD works at RTN Mental Health

Our CBT for ADHD follows a clear, structured process designed to keep you focused, motivated, and supported from start to finish. Each stage builds practical skills and accountability, turning small insights into real behavioural change.

1

Initial screening

We start with your goals, background, and daily challenges, from focus and time management to emotional control. This helps us confirm whether CBT for ADHD is right for you and identify what support will make therapy easier to follow.
2

Understanding your patterns

With your therapist, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions drive impulsive or avoidant behaviours. Recognising these patterns is the first step toward building structure and consistency.
3

Personalised CBT plan

Your therapist designs a goal-based plan around executive-function skills such as planning, prioritising, and time management. Each session includes clear steps and measurable progress markers to maintain motivation.
4

Therapy sessions

Through regular online sessions, you’ll learn strategies to improve focus, manage emotions, and stay organised. CBT techniques are adapted to your pace and style: practical, structured, and easy to apply in real life.
5

Ongoing support

After your 6 or 12-session CBT programme, we review progress and offer follow-up sessions, helping you build lasting confidence and consistent habits.

Ongoing support for CBT for ADHD

Because change takes time, our CBT for ADHD includes continued support to help you stay on track after your initial programme. We offer optional follow-up sessions and review appointments.
