Understanding
ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and energy levels. While commonly associated with children, ADHD also affects adults, making tasks like organising, staying on schedule, or completing work challenging. ADHD is not a flaw but a different way of processing information that can bring both difficulties and strengths.
What does ADHD feel like?
Living with ADHD can feel like your mind is always racing or being pulled in multiple directions. You might struggle to concentrate, forget appointments, lose things, or find it hard to sit still. Many people experience restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty finishing tasks, which can lead to frustration, underachievement, and strained relationships
How to overcome ADHD with therapy?
The most effective treatment for ADHD combines medication and therapy. Stimulant medications (like methylphenidate or amphetamines) are commonly prescribed, but non-stimulant options are available.
Therapy-such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), behavioural therapy, ADHD coaching, and mindfulness-based approaches-can help you develop practical strategies for organisation, emotional regulation, and managing daily challenges.
Through ADHD counselling, you can:
Develop personalised strategies for staying organised and focused
Strengthen attention and impulse control
Build self-awareness and emotional regulation skills
Improve confidence and daily functioning
Step-by-step guide to managing ADHD
