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 proven frameworks to guide your assessment and ongoing work.
Structured frameworks you can use 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 otherwise good therapy.
Compassionate, shame‑aware and strengths‑focused
You'll learn not only to recognise difficulties but to map adaptive traits, work with mindset and build on clients' gifts.
Whole‑person, body‑inclusive approach
You'll understand why ADHD isn't just a brain or behaviour thing. It involves sleep, immunity, sensory systems, hormones, autonomic regulation and lifestyle.
Who this course is for
Mental health practitioners, psychiatrists, GPs, therapists, coaches who encounter adults with ADHD and want to:
- Recognise ADHD when it's masked, missed or hiding under other diagnoses.
- Use a structured, compassionate framework to understand each client's unique ADHD presentation
- Learn concrete tools and models you can use immediately in sessions
- How neurodevelopmental differences connect with trauma, physical health, hormones and lifestyle
We also welcome individuals and clients interested in understanding their own ADHD more deeply or supporting a loved one with greater insight.
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 psychotherapist with deep expertise in ADHD and trauma‑informed care.
His clinical focus is the "ADHD+" picture: how neurodevelopmental differences intersect with trauma, physical health conditions (especially hypermobility), hormonal changes, immune dysregulation and lifestyle.
James teaches the exact 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 a psychotherapist, coach and embodied practitioner.
