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.
