Your Journey Starts Here
ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in women. Many experience years of struggle before receiving a diagnosis, leading to feelings of self-doubt, frustration, and exhaustion. As a woman diagnosed at 35 years of age, Cheryl has personal experience of mastering her own ADHD symptoms to succesfully run a global business, write 11 books and retrain as a Pscyhotherapist. At Female Focused Therapy, we specialize in helping women navigate ADHD with compassion, practical personalised strategies, and empowerment.
As a Certified ADHD Clinicial Practitioner and Psychotherapist, Cheryl Kennedy MacDonald has dedicated her practice to supporting women who have been newly diagnosed, suspect they have ADHD, or simply want to develop strategies to improve their daily lives. Through personal experience and professional expertise, Cheryl provides a unique and deeply empathetic approach to therapy.
Like many women, my ADHD diagnosis came later in life. I spent years feeling overwhelmed, struggling with focus, and wondering why things that seemed easy for others felt impossible for me. Society often overlooks ADHD in women, labeling struggles as personality quirks rather than recognizing the signs of neurodivergence. Receiving my diagnosis was both a relief and a challenge. It validated my experiences but also forced me to reframe how I saw myself. Through therapy, mindfulness, and structured support, I learned to harness my strengths, develop coping mechanisms, and ultimately thrive. This journey led me to create Female Focused Therapy—a safe space for women navigating the complexities of ADHD.
