What is ADHD Counselling?

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is common and affects both children and adults. ADHD can interfere with everyday activities, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. ADHD counselling can greatly improve organization, structure, mindfulness, and self-care, and provide coping mechanisms to improve your life and prevent future symptoms.

How ADHD Therapy Works

Our ADHD therapy works to provide you with practical skills and evidence based techniques to help you manage your symptoms and improve your daily life. Our registered clinical counsellors will work with you to address the specific ADHD symptoms and challenges you face.

Through this, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that works for your situation. This could include lifestyle changes, finding ways to improve organizational skills, incorporating mindfulness techniques into your daily life, working on self regulation skills, and developing other coping strategies to help with your unique adhd symptoms.

ADHD in Adults

Many adults with ADHD have spent years managing symptoms without realizing they stem from a neurodevelopmental condition. Undiagnosed or untreated adult ADHD can affect daily life, relationships, and work performance. Common symptoms include difficulties with time management, staying organized, maintaining focus, and following through on tasks. Impulsivity and emotional reactivity may also lead to frequent misunderstandings or conflict in both personal and professional relationships.

Our ADHD counselling services provide a space to help you better understand these patterns and behaviours without judgment. Our ADHD therapy can help you build insight into how ADHD shows up in your life, while also developing practical tools to manage symptoms. Over time, adults often experience improvements in self-esteem, emotional regulation, and the ability to better handle everyday demands. For many, counselling also addresses the impact of past experiences, such as chronic stress, academic struggles, or being misunderstood by others.

ADHD in Children/Youth

Children and teens with ADHD struggle with tasks involving sustained mental effort, impulse control, and emotional regulation. These challenges can lead to frustration at home, behavioural issues in school, and a sense of falling behind their peers. Over time, this may impact self-esteem, personal growth, and social development.

Our ADHD therapy helps children better understand their emotions and develop skills to cope with frustration, restlessness, and overwhelm.

For school-aged children, counselling may focus on attention strategies, flexible thinking, and building positive behaviour patterns.

For teens and young adults, therapy can include support for identity development, academic planning, and communication skills. We also involve parents and caregivers to ensure consistent support at home and school.

By working with our ADHD counsellors, children and youth can gain a greater sense of control over their behaviours and a more positive view of themselves. Early intervention can also reduce the risk of future mental health issues and improve long-term outcomes.
