Nancy Williams set up The Studio in December 1999 to provide a service to children, adolescents and their families, that is complementary to the clinical diagnosis of ADHD.

The aim of The Studio is to offer a relaxed and therapeutic environment for the sharing of personal and emotional problems, to enhance clients self esteem, and to advise on coping and management techniques. Whilst initially specialising in adolescent support, experience has highlighted the need to offer awareness and guidance at an earlier age, and referrals are now taken from the age of nine.

The Studio has an Activity Programme, and is registered as a Special Needs Duke of Edinburgh Award Unit, encouraging young people to look for success in leisure and sport. Workshops are held for parents and siblings on a variety of subjects and there are also opportunities to meet regularly with other parents during the group activity days. The Studio was registered as a charity in December 2001 and is actively seeking funding for additional staff to develop the service in order to meet the demand.
