About KT Healthcare
Together, James and Emily founded KT Healthcare after navigating their own family’s challenges with long waiting lists, delayed assessments, and the uncertainty surrounding ADHD and autism diagnoses.
Their lived experience as parents, combined with their professional backgrounds, shaped a shared commitment to creating a service grounded in quality, compassion, and truly patient‑centred care.
Today, that journey continues to guide our mission to deliver outstanding support, stay true to our values, and remain a trusted provider for the communities we serve.
