Valentino Pironti , BSc MSc PhD

Profile
Dr Valentino Pironti is a specialist Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Neuroscientist with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, academic research, and R&D in the field of adult ADHD and Autism.

He is registered with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the British Psychological Society as a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) and Associate Fellow (AFBPsS) and specialises in evidence-based assessment and psychological treatment of adult ADHD and Autism.

Dr Pironti holds a PhD from the Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge. His research, funded by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC), focused on the identification of neurocognitive vulnerability markers in adults with ADHD. The programme, titled Neurocognitive Endophenotypes in Adult ADHD (NEA-ADHD), was supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN). This research led to the discovery of novel vulnerability markers for adult ADHD — a contribution that, in 2014, was recognised with a New Investigator Award from the International Society for Clinical Trial and Methodology in Washington, D.C., and resulted in publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals including Biological Psychiatry and The British Journal of Psychiatry.

For six years, he worked at the Adult ADHD Clinic at the Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, where he specialised in the assessment and psychological therapy of adults with ADHD. He later continued to practise as an adult ADHD expert in the private sector, where he was responsible for conducting comprehensive ADHD and ASD assessments.

Dr Pironti has also held senior roles in clinical R&D within the pharmaceutical industry. As Clinical Development Executive and Clinical Science Lead, he was responsible for therapeutic programmes overseeing research proposals, trial design, and protocol development.

Since 2018, Dr Pironti has been working as the Founder, senior specialist Clinical Psychologist, and Clinical Director of the Cambridge Adult ADHD & ASD Clinic, a highly specialist clinic based in Cambridge and London, where he leads diagnostic assessment and psychological treatment for ADHD and Autism in adults. He is also responsible for clinical supervision for professionals working with adults with ADHD and/or Autism who wish to enhance their clinical skills, receive feedback on diagnostic work, or gain support with complex cases.
