Chiltern ADHD Clinic CIC and Chiltern Talking Therapies

Welcome to The Dopamine Lounge

The co-working session for people who need to get sh*t done but refuse to suffer alone 💯

This is a body doubling / focus session, designed for ADHD and neurodivergent brains (but open to anyone who likes structured vibes and no pressure) 🙏🏻

What we do ✅

• 2-minute intros (“Here’s the thing I should be doing…”)
• Pomodoro rounds: 25 mins focus / 10 mins break
• Repeat until we’ve actually achieved something other than doom-scrolling

What we DON'T do ❌

• Networking / corporate stuff - it's super chill in The Dopamine Lounge.
• Judge! We all get behind on our to-do lists and struggle with focus. It also doesn't matter what you need to focus on - we have had people complete craft projects in our sessions.
• Socialise (excessively)! A lot of us know each other and will have a chat in the breaks, but we are there to work, and we get loads done.

Good for 🤓

• Remote workers
• Self-employed / freelancers
• Admin avoiders
• Essay/CPD/professional paperwork people
• ADHDers who need other humans to function

Please note: We are happy to support young people aged 16+ but attendees under the age of 18 must have a guardian with them.

Not that deep. Not networking. Not chat-heavy.
Just: Sit here. Do your thing. Don’t do it alone. 🫶🏻

Bring 💻
Laptop, notebook, to-do list, noise cancelling headphones, any fidgets you like.

Where 📍
Moxy Hotel MK - the big table in the lobby/lounge area. Look for the pink-haired therapist (Jennie).
If you get anxious arriving alone, message first and Jennie can meet you at the door. Zero awkward wandering.

Cost 💸
Free. Because executive dysfunction has taken enough already!

About us 💕
We are Chiltern ADHD Clinic CIC, experts in neurodivergence, offering specialist therapy, assessments and support. We are passionate about offering low-cost and free support in our local area - hence our unique body doubling sessions in Milton Keynes!

What is Body Doubling 💡
It's a simple technique involves working alongside others - either in-person or virtually - to stay on task. Their presence creates accountability, structure, and motivation, making it easier to get things done. Think about when you need to do some chores and someone is standing in the same room or on a video call talking with you - it helps, right!
It's a surprisingly powerful tool, super helpful for neurodivergent people, but helpful for everyone else to focus too. If you're struggling to get started, getting distracted by things at home, or need a bit of accountability - this might be the solution for you!

Welcome to The Dopamine Lounge
If your “revision” currently looks like staring at your notes and hoping knowledge teleports into your brain - come sit with us instead 💯
This is a study club / body doubling session to help you actually revise, write, read, or finish the thing you’ve been putting off 🙏🏻

What we do ✅
· Say what you’re working on (e.g., “Past paper Q4 + Biology cells notes”)
· Pomodoro rounds: 25 mins study / 10 mins break
· Tiny mini check-ins to keep momentum

What we DON'T do ❌

• Expect you to ‘perform productivity’ - it's super chill in The Dopamine Lounge so just show up with your stuff.
• Judge! We all get behind on stuff and struggle with focus.
• Help with revision – go speak to your School, Uni, Sixth Form etc as they are the experts!
• Socialise (excessively)! A lot of us know each other and will have a chat in the breaks, but we are there to work / study, and we get loads done.

Good for 🤓

• GCSE / A-Level revision
• Coursework
• Uni essays and dissertations
• Students who cannot study alone without distractions at home!

Please note: We are happy to support young people aged 16+ but attendees under the age of 18 must have a guardian with them.

Got something you really need to do...but your brain would rather do literally anything else? Come body doubling with us!

Body doubling simply means getting on with your own task alongside other people doing theirs. Having others around can provide gentle accountability, make it easier to get started and help you stay focused - we have been running 'body dubs' in MK for a while now, and we always get so much done 💃🏻

Bring your laptop, studying, paperwork, life admin, creative project - or whatever has been sitting on your to do list for far too long. We’ll work in short, focused blocks with regular breaks 🤓

It’s friendly, relaxed and designed with neurodivergent brains in mind, although everyone is welcome. No networking or awkward icebreakers - just good company and a bit of help getting stuff done.
