I’m David Levy (MBACP), an ADHD-specialist therapist working with individuals and couples to better understand ADHD and its effects — whether that’s through practical understanding of the condition, guidance through the roadmap of diagnosis and treatment, or exploring its impact on a person’s sense of self, relationships, and loved ones.
In individual work, clients are never pathologised or their experience reduced to a series of symptoms, and through my expensive personal and professional experience – I myself was diagnosed at 40 – I have built a unique understanding of the condition and its effect on the lived experience; working with the individual who also has ADHD rather than the ADHD without consideration of the individual.
In my work with couples, often sessions focus on building bridges; removing barriers to communication with effective tools catered for the individuals experience, and often acting as an interpreter – helping the ADHD individual see the experience of the non-ADHD partner, and helping non-ADHD individuals support their partners in practical and sustainable ways. Sessions often involve a mix of psychoeducation, mediation, and creating clear, structured ways of talking to each other that build understanding instead of conflict or frustration.
My practice is inclusive, welcoming clients from all backgrounds and identities, and my goal is always the same: to make therapy a place where you feel seen, supported, and gently challenged to grow in ways that matter to you.
“…thank you, David. Your sessions have helped immeasurably – we understand each other in ways I never thought possible, and we feel a closeness we haven’t felt in years. Thank you, truly…” – Couples Client, March 2025
ADHD changes the way people experience the world — and the way the world experiences them. The journey to diagnosis can bring fear, apprehension, relief, sadness, and the sense of having to learn about yourself all over again. I work with clients to process the emotional impact of that journey, offering emotional and practical support that leads to lasting, sustainable change. Over thousands of clinical hours with ADHD clients, couples, and groups, I’ve blended my psychodynamic background with a flexible, practical approach. I also run workshops for other therapists, host an ADHD resource website, contribute to articles and podcasts, and have been commissioned to write book about the adult ADHD experience, due in 2026.

I offer counselling sessions from my home in Whetstone, N20 London, as well as online via Zoom.
I deeply value the therapeutic journey and feel privileged to witness the growth and transformation of my clients. Therapy can be challenging, but the rewards of self-discovery and change are immeasurable.
