David Levy

I am a counsellor with a dedicated focus on ADHD and the unique challenges surrounding diagnosis and treatment. My work is informed by my personal experience as someone diagnosed as an adult with combined-type ADHD, which has profoundly enhanced my understanding and ability to connect with clients navigating similar paths. Clients contact me at various stages of their ADHD journey – from discovery, to the emotional impact of diagnosis, to the complexities of reframing one’s past, present, and future. I support clients through the often challenging and lengthy processes of assessment, treatment, and beyond.

While rooted in my extensive training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, my therapeutic approach has evolved to one of both practical and emotional support for my clients. As such, I am uniquely able to offer clients my therapeutic training, my personal understanding of the challenges they face, the safety to be their most unmasked self. I understand that for ADHD people, it is not as simple as “do this” or “have you tried…” but rather the patience, support and understanding required to help ADHD people forge their own paths through better understanding of themselves, their condition, and the ways their brain actually works rather than how they feel it ‘should’.

In addition to thousands of hours with ADHD clients, couples and groups, I train other therapists how to work with ADHD clients in my ‘Working with ADHD’ workshops. I have my own ADHD-focussed resource and information website, am regularly featured in magazines, online articles and podcasts, and am writing a book on the adult experience of ADHD and diagnosis, available Q1 2026.

I offer counselling sessions from my home in Whetstone, N20 London, as well as online via Zoom. My standard fee is £90 per session, and payment is accepted via bank transfer, credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

In my practice, I strive to uphold a deeply inclusive ethos. My work respects and values all protected characteristics, including sexuality, race, religion, disability, gender identity, and expression, ensuring every client feels seen and supported.

In response to increasing client demand, I have developed a tailored approach to couples and family counselling for neurodiverse relationships. These sessions focus on psychoeducation, mediation, and creating structured frameworks that support effective communication and mutual understanding for neurodiverse couples.

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.

I am currently offering sessions Monday-Friday in-person or by Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

Clients are asked to meet for an initial consultation where reasons for seeking counselling are discussed.

It is during this time that the number and frequency of sessions is discussed, and the fee is set.

The cost of this initial session is £90 and delivered in-person or online via Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. 

I’m a counsellor specialising in working with ADHD clients and the challenges which come with navigating diagnosis, whether that be the emotional impact, the difficulty in reframing your past, present and future, and the difficult and often drawn-out experience of waiting for assessment, assessment itself, diagnosis, treatment, and medication. I am diagnosed combined-type ADHD and found it enormously beneficial to my work.

Trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, my practice has developed to emphasise the relationship between therapist and client to create a safe and understanding environment free from judgement, in which your presenting issues can be explored and better understood. My training allows me to work with ADHD and non-ADHD clients alike, and I work extensively with clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, addiction, and repeating patterns of behaviour you’d like to change.

In thousands of hours across individual sessions, group sessions, and running my own ADHD-specialist website, I have developed an effective way of working with ADHD people which doesn’t pathologise the condition, and considers their entire selves rather than working symptomatically. My guiding principle is that by addressing the cause, the lived experience is subsequently altered.

In response to client demand, I have begun offering limited engagement couples counselling, designed to help foster suitable communication between neurodiverse couples through psychoeducation, mediation, and the establishment of structures which offer a platform for couples going forward.

In addition to my counselling work, I am currently writing a book about the emotional experience of adult ADHD diagnosis, and I can be found talking about the condition in numerous magazine articles and podcasts. 

I love my work, and while the journey of therapy can be challenging, being a witness to my clients change has been an experience for which I am continually thankful.

My peaceful, secluded garden office offers a confidential space with free, unrestricted parking at any time. I offer sessions online via Zoom. 

During an initial consultation, I will likely ask what has bought you to counselling as well as a few practical details, and offer the opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about what to expect from counselling. 

Initial consultations last approximately 50 minutes and are an opportunity for you to meet me and get a feel for how I work, and for me to ensure my skill-set is appropriate for the issues you're presenting.
