Psychologist specialising in adult ADHD in Toledo
Psychologist for adult ADHD in Toledo
Running late, forgetting things, starting a thousand projects and finishing none, feeling you perform below what you could. If attention difficulties have been with you all your life without a name, understanding them changes everything. I work with adult ADHD in Toledo and online.
Do you recognise this?
Do you recognise yourself in this?
ADHD isn't only a childhood thing: many adults reach their 30s or 40s without knowing why things have always been harder for them. If you recognise yourself in several of these signs, there may be an explanation, and strategies that help.
- You get distracted easily and struggle to stay focused on anything boring.
- You procrastinate and only get going at the last minute, driven by urgency.
- You start many projects and find it hard to finish them.
- You lose things, forget appointments and run late despite trying.
- You feel inner restlessness, impatience or difficulty "switching off".
- You carry a sense of performing below your potential, and guilt because of it.
It's not a lack of willpower or intelligence: it's a different way of functioning. Understanding it and learning to manage it completely changes daily life.
What we work on
Adult ADHD and what comes with it
Attention difficulties and disorganisation
Trouble concentrating, planning and keeping up with daily life. We build concrete, external strategies for your work, your studies and your home.
Impulsivity and restlessness
Rushed decisions, interrupting, overspending or that sense of an inner engine that won't stop. You learn to put a pause between impulse and action.
Self-esteem and emotional wear
Years of "you could do more" leave their mark. We work on the guilt and low self-esteem that so often come with undiagnosed ADHD.
ADHD and anxiety or mood
ADHD often comes with anxiety or low moods. We address them together so treatment makes complete sense.
What therapy is like
How we work on your ADHD
I'm not looking for you to "try harder": you've already done that. I'm looking to give you strategies that fit the way you function and to work through the emotional weight of so many years without a name.
-
Understand how you function
We put a name to what's happening to you and see how ADHD affects your life. Understanding it eases the guilt and gives you a starting point.
-
Strategies tailored to you
We design routines, external supports and organisation and attention techniques adapted to you, not generic templates.
-
Work on the emotional side
We repair self-esteem and manage the anxiety or low mood that so often come with adult ADHD.

Functioning with less effort and more calm
- You finally understand why things have always been harder for you.
- You gain real strategies to get organised and concentrate.
- You reduce the forgetting, the delays and the daily chaos.
- You learn to manage impulsivity and restlessness.
- You recover self-esteem and let go of years of guilt.

Common questions about adult ADHD
Can you have ADHD and not have known until now?
Yes, it's very common. Many people, especially those who coped well as children, reach adulthood without a diagnosis and discover their ADHD when seeking help for anxiety, disorganisation or burnout. Putting a name to it usually comes as a great relief.
Does the psychologist diagnose ADHD?
The psychologist carries out a detailed psychological assessment and works on the strategies and the emotional impact. The clinical diagnosis and the assessment of medication are the responsibility of the doctor or psychiatrist; when needed, I guide you on how to coordinate it.
Does therapy help, or does only medication work?
Therapy is very useful on its own and also as a complement. It gives you strategies for organisation and attention, works on self-esteem and manages anxiety or low mood. In some cases it's combined with medication, which the doctor assesses.
Do you treat ADHD in children?
This page focuses on adults. I treat ADHD in children and adolescents through the child and adolescent psychology area, supporting the family and coordinating with the school.
Does therapy for ADHD work online?
Yes. Working on strategies and emotional support works just as well online, and saving yourself a journey helps you stay consistent. Sessions are by video call and confidential.
How much does a session cost?
You can check the current fees for the individual session and the first orientation session on the fees page (in Spanish).
