ADHD Support
Practical, judgment-free support to find clarity, focus, and confidence.
Living With ADHD As An Adult
ADHD isn’t just about distraction. It can affect your focus, motivation, emotions, and relationships. Many adults describe feeling scattered, frustrated, or misunderstood, even after years of “trying harder.”
You may find yourself:
-
Starting projects with energy but struggling to finish them
-
Losing focus at work or school, even when you want to succeed
-
Feeling easily overwhelmed or emotionally reactive
-
Battling shame for not meeting your own or others’ expectations
-
Wondering if ADHD is “sabotaging” your relationships
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. ADHD is real, and so are the struggles that come with it.
How Therapy Can Help With ADHD
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about understanding how your brain works and building strategies that fit your life. In counselling, we’ll work together to:
-
Identify your unique ADHD patterns and strengths
-
Learn tools for focus, organization, and follow-through
-
Build skills to manage emotional ups and downs
-
Reduce shame and self-criticism that often come with ADHD
-
Strengthen communication and relationships
Our Approach to ADHD Therapy
At OP Counselling, we know ADHD rarely shows up on its own. Many adults also carry trauma, anxiety, depression, or struggles with substance use. That’s why we use a whole-person, trauma-informed approach.
We draw on evidence-based methods such as:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping tools
-
Mindfulness strategies: to anchor attention and calm racing thoughts
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): especially when trauma contributes to ADHD struggles
Most importantly, we’ll go at your pace. You’re in the driver’s seat, therapy is a collaborative process, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
