Dr. Obioha Ukaegbu

I am a Consultant Psychiatrist with more than 10 years of experience across the NHS, private clinics, and mental health research. While I provide care across the full spectrum of adult mental health, I have a dedicated specialisation in supporting high-performing adults, creatives, and women who often reach adulthood before realising their struggles have a biological name.

I help patients overcome the debilitating cycle of procrastination, overwhelm, and inconsistency that often plagues the neurodivergent mind. Many of my patients come to me with a specific fear: “If I seek support or take medication, will I lose my creativity?” My mission is to remove that fear. I believe that the right support doesn't diminish your spark—it provides the structure for it to catch fire.

By offering specialised private ADHD assessments and autism diagnosis in London, I help you move beyond simple symptom management. The ultimate outcome of our work together is clarity, execution, and sustainable performance. We build a life where you can finally bridge the gap between having a brilliant idea and finishing the project, all while maintaining your emotional well-being.

Areas of Expertise

1. Late Diagnosis ADHD & Autism in High-Achieving Adults & Women

I specialise in identifying neurodivergence in adults whose high intelligence has historically hidden their struggles. I have particular expertise in the "female phenotype" of ADHD and Autism, recognising those who have mastered social masking or camouflaging for decades. My approach to adult ADHD assessment looks past these sophisticated coping mechanisms to provide the clarity and validation you have been seeking.

2. Executive Dysfunction, Procrastination & Adult ADHD

I work with entrepreneurs and professionals to resolve the inconsistency that hinders their success. By addressing chronic procrastination and executive dysfunction, I help you move from a state of constant overwhelm to a state of consistent execution. We develop strategies to organise your mind so your energy is reserved for your craft, not the friction of daily tasks.

3. Emotional Regulation for Sustainable Performance

Beyond focus, we address the "internal noise" of neurodivergence. I help you manage the emotional volatility and sensory overwhelm that lead to burnout. To provide a truly holistic approach, I work closely with our expert psychologists to formulate and plan your psychological therapy and strategies as part of an integrated management plan. My goal is to help you achieve sustainable performance—allowing you to work at a high level without the typical "boom and bust" cycle of exhaustion.

4. Transition Specialist for Younger Adults

I have a dedicated focus on younger adults who hit a "wall" as they move into independent life. When the external structures of school or home fall away, many high-performing individuals find themselves unable to cope with life's demands. I help build the internal scaffolding needed to navigate this transition with confidence.

5. Specialised Medicolegal Consultancy

As a medicolegal expert, I provide rigorous psychiatric reports for legal and professional proceedings. I combine a decade of clinical depth with advanced training in medicolegal writing and structured, evidence-based reporting. My reports are crafted to stand up to the highest level of judicial scrutiny while ensuring technical precision and clarity.
