Meet Dr Torrance
Dr Torrance Merkle is a 'GP, Special Interest' who cares deeply about supporting those with ADHD. Alongside his own General Practice, he provides ADHD-specific services through Beehyve to complement the care people have through their own doctor.
Torrance knows first-hand the challenges in achieving your dreams with ADHD in a world that is not always set up to help. For him, it's about problem-solving and drawing on the 'skills and pills' that are appropriate. He knows the power of tailored support to support each person's situation.
Torrance can help you with managing your ADHD medication as well as understanding how you can combine this with other therapies and wellbeing support for ADHD. He prioritises awareness, self-care, agency and connection.
Torrance is unable to diagnose ADHD or prescribe you ADHD medications if you are without an official Medical Authority from a psychiatrist. However, to help with your journey, he is able to make referrals. At Beehyve, Dr Torrance only provides ADHD-specific support; you'll need to keep seeing your regular doctor for all your other medical needs.
