We saw Dr Singaravelu for over a year as he helped our child during a very challenging period. Figuring out how to navigate mental and emotional challenges with teens is very difficult as a parent. It’s hard to know who to contact and how to move forward. We are very grateful we were connected with Dr Singaravelu. He took time to ask questions and learn about the situation in order to understand the best course of action. He was sympathetic, sensitive, and yet knowledgeable and clearly explained paths forward. His expertise has helped our child get to a much better place and we are grateful for it. We’d recommend him to anyone who has a teen that needs extra support.

Dr Singaravelu is fantastic, he has a wonderful bedside manner, is extremely gentle in style, and connects incredibly well with our daughter, explaining things in a very clear way for her to understand and digest. He gives us lots of time to allow conversations to open up and always checks in at the end of appointments to ensure we have covered everything we wanted to.

ADHD Exam Prep Strategies for Success | Vinod Singaravelu posted on the topic | LinkedIn

Exam season is here — and for many of my patients with ADHD, that means more than revision stress. It means lying awake at 2am. It means convincing themselves they will fail before they have even begun. It means walking into clinic carrying an anxiety that feels much bigger than any exam paper. I have sat with a number of these young people recently. Bright, creative, determined adolescents — who simply have not been shown how to prepare for exams in a way that works *with* their brain, not against it. The difference when they learn that there is a different way? It is remarkable to witness. Strategies like breaking revision into small, manageable chunks. Using timed study intervals with proper rest. Practising box breathing before walking into the exam hall. Using affirmations not as a platitude, but as a genuine tool for cognitive reframing. Knowing their rights around exam accommodations. These are not complicated interventions. They are evidence-informed, accessible — and they work. I have compiled them into a free guide: **ADHD & Exam Preparation — Your Guide to Exam Success**, written in plain language for adolescents, with strategies they can start using today. To every young person with ADHD heading into exam season: your brain is not the problem. The system just has not always known how to support it. That is changing. Parents, educators, and fellow clinicians — please share freely with anyone who might benefit. 📩 enquiries@vinodsingaravelu.com 🌐 www.VinodSingaravelu.com #ADHD #ExamAnxiety #Neurodiversity #ADHDteens #ChildPsychiatry #MentalHealthMatters #NeurodivergentLearners #ExamSeason #CAMHS #SENDsupport
