What is it?

ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (PHDA in Portugal), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control and activity level. It begins in childhood, but adult ADHD is common and is often diagnosed late.

Signs and symptoms

ADHD symptoms in children are being easily distracted, restlessness and difficulty waiting their turn. In adult ADHD the weight falls on disorganisation, forgetfulness, constant procrastination, difficulty finishing tasks and inner restlessness, often hidden by years of effort.

How we help

We carry out psychological ADHD assessment for children and adults, with an interview and validated questionnaires, and agree a plan with practical strategies for study, work and daily organisation. When medication is indicated, we refer you to a doctor. Online therapy in English, by video call, with an English-speaking therapist: for people in Portugal and for expats, wherever you live in Europe.

faq

Through a clinical assessment: an interview covering your history since childhood, validated questionnaires and, when possible, information from someone close to you. Tests are only for screening, and there is an ADHD one on the Tests page of this site. Medication, when indicated, is prescribed by a doctor.

Yes. In Portugal it is PHDA (perturbação de hiperactividade e défice de atenção); in Brazil, TDAH. It is the same condition.

It often appears without visible hyperactivity: disorganisation, forgetfulness, the exhaustion of compensating and a feeling of always being behind. That is why it is frequently diagnosed late, after years treated only as anxiety or depression.

No. You can book directly on our website or with Sofia, our virtual assistant, without any referral from your GP.

Online only for now, while our clinic in Cascais is being refurbished. We reopen in December, and in-person sessions return with it.

Yes, for online sessions too. After the session, ask the clinic team for it by chat, email or WhatsApp. The certificate is available in your client area and states only the day, the time and that it was a psychology session, without mentioning the reason.
