ADHD
Practical strategies and support for adults and young people with ADHD.
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain manages attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It is not a character flaw or a lack of effort — it is a difference in how the brain is wired, and it affects people of all ages.
ADHD can look different from person to person. For some it shows up as difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, and disorganisation. For others it may involve restlessness, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, or a tendency to hyperfocus on areas of interest while struggling with tasks that feel boring or overwhelming. Many adults with ADHD have spent years feeling misunderstood, underachieving, or simply exhausted from trying to keep up.
How Counselling Can Help
Counselling does not treat ADHD as a problem to be fixed — it works with your unique brain to build strategies, self-understanding, and confidence. With Lisa, you can explore:
- Understanding your ADHD profile and how it shows up in your daily life
- Practical strategies for organisation, time management, and task completion
- Emotional regulation skills to manage frustration, overwhelm, and rejection sensitivity
- Building self-esteem and addressing the shame or self-criticism that often accompanies ADHD
- Support for co-occurring anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties
- Guidance for parents supporting a child or teenager with ADHD
Strengths-Based Support
Lisa takes a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. The goal is not to make you "normal" — it is to help you understand yourself, work with your brain, and build a life that plays to your strengths. Sessions are available for adults, young people, and families.
