Dr Tracy King

Dr Tracy King is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over twenty-six years of experience across clinical, forensic, and occupational settings. She specialises in Autism, ADHD, trauma, and complex psychological presentations, providing evidence-based assessment and formulation for adults, adolescents, and children.

Diagnosed with ADHD herself, and as a parent of neurodivergent children with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, Dr King combines professional expertise with personal understanding. This dual perspective helps her recognise the real-world challenges faced by individuals and families navigating neurodiversity, translating clinical findings into meaningful, practical guidance.

Her work integrates neuropsychological and developmental understanding with trauma-informed practice, ensuring that every assessment reflects the individual’s full context. She has a particular clinical interest in women’s health, including how hormonal changes and perimenopause can influence neurodevelopmental presentation and diagnosis. Her approach promotes more accurate and sensitive understanding of late-diagnosed women, whose symptoms may have been masked or misunderstood in traditional diagnostic pathways.

Her approach reflects a belief that diagnostic work should do more than provide clarity—it should empower understanding and self-acceptance
