ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is a debilitating and complex mental health condition that affects how a person's brain functions. ADHD impacts various aspects of life, including education, career, home life, social interactions, and relationships. The good news is that ADHD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions, with therapy and for some, medication also.
ADHD symptoms can be categorized into three core areas:
- Attention: Difficulty sustaining focus and concentration, issues with working memory.
- Hyperactivity: A constant need for movement, hyper verbal externally and internally (leading to anxiety)
- Impulsivity:Acting without thinking, poor decision making, social impact
These symptoms can make it exceptionally challenging for individuals with ADHD to perform well in school, at work, and in social situations. It can also affect their ability to get along with others.
What to expect in a counselling session for ADHD?
A counselling session for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is typically focused on helping the individual manage the symptoms of ADHD and improve their overall well-being.
During the session, the counsellor may:
- Assess symptoms, including levels of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity
- Explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to ADHD symptoms
- Help set goals for managing symptoms
- Share strategies for managing symptoms, such as time management, organisation, and self-regulation skills
- Assist in managing emotions and stress
- Identify and challenge negative thoughts or beliefs
- Improve communication and social skills
- Develop coping strategies for dealing with challenges and setbacks.
Counselling sessions are tailored to your specific needs, and the counsellor works with you to create a unique treatment plan. Establishing trust and open communication between the individual and the counsellor is crucial for personal growth and positive changes

Why Have ADHD Counselling Instead of ADHD Coaching?
ADHD counselling and ADHD coaching serve different purposes and can be beneficial in different ways. All our Counsellors either have lived experienced with ADHD and/or have undertaken further specialist training in ADHD so they can best support you.
ADHD counselling focuses on addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of ADHD. It helps you understand their condition, manage symptoms, and improve your overall mental health. Counselling sessions often involve exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and developing strategies to cope with challenges.
ADHD coaching on the other hand, is more action-oriented and focuses on practical strategies to manage daily tasks and achieve specific goals. Coaches work with individuals to develop skills such as time management, organisation, and goal-setting. Coaching is often more structured and goal-focused compared to counselling.
