ADHD help & resources

I wish I could help everyone who reaches out — I can't give personal advice or support outside of sessions, and I'm not taking clients just yet. What I can do is share some free places that others have found useful.

About assessment, diagnosis and medication

I understand how hard this part can be — believe me, I know. But I'm not a medical practitioner. I can't assess for ADHD, I can't prescribe, and it wouldn't be right for me to advise, guide or point you anywhere in relation to assessment, diagnosis or medication. Those conversations belong with your GP or a medical professional who can properly support you with them.

A note from Ryan

"If you've found your way here, there's a good chance things feel hard right now — maybe they've felt hard for a while. I want you to know that's nothing to be ashamed of, and you're not the only one."

"I understand the struggles with assessment, diagnosis and medication when it comes to ADHD — believe me, I know. But I'm not a medical practitioner. I can't assess for ADHD and I can't prescribe, and it wouldn't be right for me to advise or guide anyone on any of that."

"What I do is work alongside individuals and families to understand ADHD on a deeper level, look together at where the struggle really sits, and find a pathway through it. It isn't me directing you or telling you what you need to do. I want to walk with you so that you discover what works — and put it into action the way you know best."

— Ryan Kilbride, ADHD Pathways

Questions about free help

Can Ryan help me get an ADHD assessment or medication?

+

No. Ryan is not a medical practitioner, so assessment, diagnosis and medication aren't things he can advise on or guide you through. Those conversations belong with your GP or a medical professional.

Where can I get free ADHD information and support?

+

The ADHD Foundation, AADD-UK and Mind all publish free information, and many areas have free peer support groups. The links on this page are a starting point.

Does Ryan give free advice by email or Facebook?

+

Ryan can't offer personal advice or support outside of paid sessions — it wouldn't be safe or fair to work that way. This page exists so there is always somewhere useful to point people in the meantime.
