Mindwood
Mindwood invites readers to explore the ADHD brain as a living forest — not something broken, but something alive, complex, and worth understanding.
Through metaphor, neuroscience, and lived experience, the book reveals how attention, emotion, motivation, and creativity grow from the same terrain that can also hold challenge. Story and science walk side by side, opening into practical tools for learning, relationships, work, and daily life.
Written for adults with ADHD, families, educators, and clinicians, Mindwood replaces shame with insight and confusion with clarity.
Not a cure. A map — and a kinder way forward.

Myth Busting 101
Adult ADHD: Myth Busting 101 dismantles the misconceptions that shape how ADHD is judged, treated, and lived with in adulthood.
Working myth by myth, the book replaces stereotypes and blame with evidence, understanding, and compassion. Across nine themed sections — from diagnosis and medication to work, relationships, and strengths — it helps readers recognise patterns rather than personalise struggle.
Written by a psychiatrist–therapist team specialising in adult ADHD, this is a guide for adults with ADHD, those who love them, and the professionals who support them.
Not about lowering standards. About raising understanding — and rewriting the story.
