The Unravelling ADHD Programme.

Hi, I’m Dr. Claire Conlon a Chartered Principal Clinical Psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working with children, families, and parents across Ireland and the UK. I’m also a mum to three energetic boys, which means I understand both professionally and personally how amazing but sometimes challenging parenting can be.

Living with ADHD, or parenting a child with ADHD, can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are so many strengths to this brain type, but it's not without moments (or many moments) of overwhelm and dysregulation. There may be no opportunities to show your strengths when the differences and challenges take over. This is especially the case when we do not understand the ADHD brain. This is where our Unravelling ADHD programme comes in.

This course has been carefully designed to help you understand ADHD in a way that feels clear, compassionate, and empowering. We take the science and make it accessible, so you can really understand what is happening in the ADHD brain and body. Alongside that, we offer practical, everyday strategies to support focus, reduce stress, and support regulation. 

What makes this programme special is its approach. It is a neuroaffirmative, evidence based programme packed full of scientific information. This is not about “fixing” ADHD, but about recognising strengths, building confidence, and finding approaches and techniques that genuinely work for you and your child. You will come away with tools, insights, and a fresh perspective that can make daily life feel lighter, calmer, and easier. When we are not feeling overloaded with challenges we are able to be our best self and allow all those strengths to shine though. 

Whether you are a parent looking for guidance, or an individual wanting to understand yourself better, Unravelling ADHD gives you the knowledge and support to navigate ADHD with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

The programme is structured in three clear parts, guiding you from understanding to action, and then to deeper insight.

Part One: Understanding the ADHD Brain

We begin with the science, explained in simple and practical terms. You will learn how the prefrontal cortex, the reticular activating system, and other parts of the brain all play a role in ADHD. This section shows how ADHD affects attention, focus, and daily life, while also highlighting the strengths and unique abilities within the ADHD profile.

Part Two: Turning Knowledge into Tools

With a clear understanding of the ADHD brain and body, we move to putting science into practice. You will learn how to create a personalised toolbox of strategies that help children and adults with ADHD excel. Together we explore how to recognise the signals our bodies give us, so parents can better understand what their child might need to regulate, and adults can support their own regulation and energy. We place a strong emphasis on behavioural support alongside regulation strategies, so everyday life feels more balanced and manageable. It's about taking back control here. 

Part Three: ADHD and Anxiety

In the final part, we look closely at the strong overlap between ADHD and anxiety. You will learn why these two experiences are so often connected, and how this can show up in day-to-day life through avoidance of activities, sleep difficulties, behavioural challenges, and ongoing worry. With a blend of science and practical advice, this section gives you tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and support confidence and resilience.

By the end of Unravelling ADHD, you will have a deeper understanding of ADHD, a set of practical strategies you can use every day, and a more confident, hopeful outlook for yourself and your family.
