We’re only on the second episode of the new series, and already we’re turning to one of the questions I’m contacted about most often: the ADHD diagnosis journey for children.

My guest is Jane Lambert, CEO of the Makewell Clinic in Milton Keynes. Jane is a nurse by background, an adoptive parent of three daughters with neurodivergent needs, and the driving force behind Makewell — a clinic she founded to be the change she wanted to see in the world. Her mission is not just to provide assessments, but to create a calming, supportive environment and to advocate for families navigating what can be a long and exhausting path.

If you’re a parent currently facing this process, or you want to better understand what families go through, Jane’s story will really speak to you.

In this episode, we cover topics including:

The reality of navigating the UK system for children’s ADHD diagnosis.
Why even private clinics are struggling to meet demand.
How Jane built Makewell to do things differently and support families more holistically.
The practical advice Jane gives parents who are waiting for an assessment.
The role of advocacy, community, and peer support alongside clinical services.
