ADHD Counselling

ADHD Therapy

It is so incredibly important for someone with ADHD to work with a counsellor who fully understands what is ADHD and provides affirming care. Oftentimes the experience of those with ADHD is unlike the experience of their neurotypical peers.

Here is a list of some, not all, experiences that I work with for folks who have ADHD:

-Focusing

-Work Struggles

-Sleep Disturbances

-Task Initiation

-Time Management

-Task Completion

-Impulsivity

-Rejection Sensitivity

-Emotional Regulation

-Distress Tolerance

- Support for those who have an ADHD-er in their life

-Neurodiverse Relationships with Neurotypical Partner

With my background in Neuroscience, I help clients build a better relationship with themselves, understand their symptoms of ADHD better, and learn how to give yourself empathy that you’ve had to manage in a world that might not have given you the help you needed.

What Are Some Experiences of ADHD Individuals?

ADHD presents differently for every person, and also is a spectrum of experiences. Here are some common experiences of those with ADHD that I work with:

-Exhausted 24/7

-Feeling lazy, dumb, or unmotivated

-Zoning out while someone is talking to them

-Starting and stopping tasks all the time

-Forgetting important deadlines, dates, or plans

-Emotions easily swinging from excitement to anger or numbness

-Feeling frozen when wanting to start something

-Constantly changing mind or unable to make a decision

-Lengthy to do list, with inability to know where to start

-Interrupting when people when they are talking

-Mind constantly racing

-Masking in front of others so you can “fit in”

Importantly, there are vastly different experiences across genders when it comes to ADHD!
