Understanding your ADHD experience
ADHD can affect attention, planning, organisation and the ability to regulate activity or impulses. How it shows up varies between people and situations. Psychological support can help you explore the impact on your daily life without reducing your experience to a list of difficulties.
Who might find ADHD support helpful?
You might be navigating an existing diagnosis, noticing patterns you want to understand, or finding that familiar coping strategies no longer fit your circumstances. Sessions can provide space to explore overwhelm, self-criticism, relationship pressures and the effort involved in meeting everyday expectations.
A neuro-affirming approach recognises individual strengths and needs. We work with your experience rather than assuming you should fit a single way of thinking or working.
What to expect from therapy
We begin by discussing what is most difficult at present and what you would like to change. Together, we can explore practical strategies for routines, breaking tasks into manageable steps, planning around energy and communicating your needs. We review what is useful and adapt strategies to your circumstances.
Where relevant, we can also explore the impact of past difficult experiences or the pressures discussed in women’s mental health support. These connections are considered individually, rather than assuming every difficulty has the same explanation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis before enquiring?
You can enquire about therapy when you want to understand your experiences or need support. Formal ADHD assessment is a separate process; if you are seeking diagnosis, please ask about assessment options before booking.
Is psychological support the same as medication treatment?
No. Psychological support focuses on understanding your experiences and developing strategies. A GP or psychiatrist can discuss medication and other medical treatment options where appropriate.
Can therapy help with overwhelm and self-criticism?
These can be explored in therapy alongside practical day-to-day challenges. Your goals guide the work, and the strategies we consider depend on your individual needs.
Can I access ADHD support by telehealth?
Australia-wide telehealth appointments are available. We can discuss your preferences and whether an online appointment is suitable before you book.
