NEURODEVELOPMENT | NEURODIVERSITY | NEUROREGULATION
Specialist support for ADHD, neurodivergence and behavioural functioning.
Neurodevelopment
Neurodevelopmental differences such as ADHD and autism shape how individuals experience attention, emotion, behaviour, relationships, and everyday demands.
For many people, these patterns may have been present for much of their life but only become clearly recognised in adulthood. Others may have received a diagnosis but continue to struggle with the practical impact of neurodivergence in work, relationships, or daily functioning.
At The McGilligan Practice we offer thoughtful, structured support for individuals seeking to better understand their neurodevelopmental profile and develop practical strategies for navigating the demands of modern life.
Common Experiences
People often seek support when they notice persistent patterns affecting their wellbeing or daily functioning, such as:
-
Difficulty sustaining attention or completing tasks
-
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
-
Challenges with organisation, planning, or time management
-
Emotional intensity or difficulty regulating emotions
-
Burnout from masking or sustained effort to meet expectations
-
Relationship strain linked to communication or behavioural differences
-
Exploring the possibility of ADHD or autism in adulthood
For many individuals, gaining insight into these patterns can be both validating and transformative.
How We Can Help
At The McGilligan Practice we provide structured support for individuals seeking to better understand their neurodevelopmental profile and develop practical strategies for navigating everyday demands.
Support focuses not only on identifying patterns associated with ADHD, autism or other neurodevelopmental differences, but also on understanding how these patterns affect attention, emotional regulation, relationships, and daily functioning.
Our approach combines behavioural formulation with practical strategies designed to support greater clarity, regulation, and sustainable change.
ADHD Screening & Functional Review
A structured screening process designed to explore the possibility of ADHD and understand how attentional and executive functioning patterns may be affecting daily life.
This process includes a detailed discussion of developmental history, current functioning, and the practical impact of attention regulation, organisation, and emotional responses across work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities.
Screening can provide valuable insight and help guide next steps, including whether a formal diagnostic assessment may be appropriate.
Behavioural Regulation
& Functioning
Some individuals experience persistent challenges with organisation, emotional regulation, overwhelm, or sustaining routines.
Behavioural work focuses on understanding the patterns driving these difficulties and developing practical strategies for improving daily functioning. This may include exploring behavioural triggers, identifying unhelpful cycles, and developing sustainable approaches to managing work, relationships, and everyday demands.
Neurodevelopment Support
For individuals who have received an ADHD diagnosis, suspect they may be neurodivergent, or wish to better understand longstanding behavioural patterns.
Sessions focus on developing insight into attention regulation, emotional responses, executive functioning, and the demands of modern environments.
Together we explore practical ways of working with these patterns to support improved functioning, self-understanding, and wellbeing.
Parent/Guardian/Carer
Guidance & Support
Support for parents seeking a clearer understanding of neurodevelopmental differences such as ADHD or autism in their child or adolescent. Sessions provide a space to explore behavioural patterns, emotional regulation, communication challenges, and the impact of neurodivergence within family life.
Guidance focuses on helping parents develop practical strategies for supporting their child’s development, improving communication, and creating environments that support regulation and wellbeing.
