My Story

Hi, I’m Kathryn Wheatman, and like many of the people I work with, my journey with ADHD has been deeply personal. I received my own diagnosis at 38, and it completely changed the way I understood myself, my past, and my future. What could have been just a label instead became a turning point — one that gave me clarity, self-acceptance, and the drive to support others walking a similar path.

That experience inspired me to train as an ADHD coach and therapist. Along the way, I realised that so many people struggle to get a diagnosis that feels supportive, thorough, and genuinely caring. Too often, the process feels rushed or isolating, when really it should feel like the start of a new chapter filled with understanding and hope.

Why I Created Unmasking Minds Clinic

I founded Unmasking Minds ADHD Clinic because I wanted to create something different — a service where both clients and clinicians feel valued, included, and supported. This isn’t just about ticking boxes or writing reports; it’s about truly listening, ensuring every client feels thought of before, during, and after their assessment.

Our vision is to build a clinic that’s comprehensive and compassionate. A place where no one feels lost in the system, and where clinicians can do their best work because they’re also supported and included

My Goal

Beyond assessments, my dream is to create a community space where people with ADHD and their families can thrive. Whether through coaching, resources, or peer support, I want our clinic to be more than a diagnosis service — I want it to be a place where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward with confidence.
