Course overview

Designed to quickly build your skills and knowledge, this course brings you 25 years of expert clinical insight, distilled into five foundational modules you can work through at your own pace.

You'll learn to recognise adult ADHD in your clients, map their unique 'ADHD Signature' and use practical frameworks to guide your assessment and ongoing therapeutic work.

Structured frameworks and a phased approach you can implement immediately

The modules are self‑paced, so you can learn when it suits you, revisit as often as you need and integrate the tools into your practice at your own rhythm.



Speaks to women, trauma and comorbidity

This course addresses why ADHD looks different in women, how trauma complicates the picture, and why unrecognised ADHD can sabotage the therapeutic process.

Compassionate, shame‑aware and strengths‑focused

You'll learn not only to recognise difficulties but also to map adaptive traits, work with mindset and build on your client's unique gifts.


Whole‑person, body‑inclusive approach

You'll understand that ADHD doesn't just affect brain and behaviour. It impacts sleep, immunity, sensory processing, hormones, autonomic nervous system regulation and lifestyle.


Who this course is for


Practitioners working in or interfacing with mental health including therapists, coaches, psychologists, psychiatrists, GPs, occupational therapists and social workers who encounter adults with ADHD and want to:

  • Recognise possible adult ADHD when it's masked, missed or hiding under other diagnoses
  • Integrate a structured, compassionate, multi-domain framework to understand each client's unique ADHD presentation
  • Learn concrete tools and models you can use immediately in your day-to-day practice
  • Explore how neurodevelopmental differences connect with trauma, physical health, hormones and lifestyle factors


We also welcome individuals and clients interested in understanding their own ADHD more deeply or supporting a loved one with greater insight.


Importantly, this is not a course to learn how to diagnose or prescribe medication for adult ADHD (although these areas are overviewed). It is also not an ADHD coaching training and, in isolation, it does not qualify you as a specialist ADHD practitioner. It is the start of a journey, skilling you up to work more effectively with this client group, complementing your existing training.



Meet your tutors

The training is delivered by two of our directors here at The Grove, Dr James Kustow and Robert Rees.

Dr James is a consultant psychiatrist and integrative psychotherapist with deep expertise in adult ADHD and trauma‑informed care. He is also an experienced and dynamic educator and the author of the bestselling book 'How to Thrive with Adult ADHD'.

His clinical focus is working creatively with the 'ADHD+' picture: how neurodevelopmental differences intersect with trauma, physical health conditions (especially hypermobility), hormonal changes, immune dysregulation and lifestyle factors, and how effective adult ADHD management requires a whole-body perspective.

James teaches the exact tried and tested tools and strategies he uses in his own practice, formed through decades of experience, both personal and professional.

Robert brings his expert insight and skill as an ADHD-informed psychotherapist, coach and embodied practitioner.

Solo-Soma Movement Meditation

Solo-Soma is an efficient 20-minute, self-applied, sensory- based meditation. Think of it as an autonomic nervous system reboot or balancer. It functions at multiple levels – among other things, it engages movement, touch and the breath. It is intended to be used daily as part of your morning self-care routine, to help launch the day on a positive footing. In this video, we explore a unique approach to healing that combines ancient practices like yoga, acupressure, and Qigong with modern techniques such as vagus nerve activation, EMDR, EFT, and energy psychology. It integrates physiological interventions like calf pumping, lymphatic drainage, and inversion exercises to support optimal brain function, alongside cognitive methods that foster affirmation, gratitude, and awe. This holistic approach addresses both physical and emotional aspects of trauma, offering a comprehensive path to healing and emotional regulation.

Somatic Super Syndrome with Dr James Kustow

This one-hour session explores the hidden overlaps between neurodiversity and mental health through a somatic lens. Many neurodivergent individuals experience complex bodily symptoms—such as chronic tension, sensory overwhelm, fatigue, and emotional dysregulation—that are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. We unpack how these patterns form, why they persist, and how somatic awareness can offer a powerful route to insight and integration.
