ADHD Support

Living with ADHD can sometimes feel like you're working much harder than everyone else just to keep up with everyday life. You may find yourself struggling with organisation, time management, emotional regulation or staying focused, despite trying countless strategies that don't seem to last. It's common to carry years of self-criticism about things that were never really about effort or willpower.

Therapy can help you understand how ADHD shows up for you personally, and build a way of working with it, rather than against it.

How therapy can help

Therapy isn't about changing who you are or "fixing" ADHD. It's about understanding how ADHD affects you personally, building practical strategies that actually fit your life, and reducing the self-criticism and shame that often build up after years of feeling like you're falling short. Together, we'll focus on what genuinely helps, whether that's organisation and routines, emotional regulation, or working with your strengths rather than constantly fighting against them.

Common concerns

People seek support for ADHD-related difficulties for many different reasons, including:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
  • Difficulty starting or finishing tasks
  • Time management and organisation challenges
  • Emotional overwhelm or frustration
  • Procrastination and cycles of burnout
  • Low self-confidence after years of feeling "not good enough"
  • Relationship or workplace difficulties related to ADHD
  • ADHD occurring alongside anxiety, depression or burnout

My approach

I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, understood and actively involved in the process. For ADHD-related support, this often draws on:

A neuroaffirming approach

working with how your brain actually works, rather than treating ADHD traits as things to be eliminated

CBT

practical strategies for organisation, task management and unhelpful thinking patterns, adapted to fit how you actually think and work

ACT

building a different relationship with self-criticism and frustration, and reconnecting with what genuinely matters to you

DBT-informed approaches

skills for emotional regulation, particularly useful when ADHD-related emotional intensity feels difficult to manage

Therapy is collaborative, paced to your needs, and focused on building strategies you can genuinely sustain, rather than generic advice that hasn't worked before.

Frequently asked questions

No. You don't need a formal ADHD diagnosis to begin therapy. Many people seek support because they recognise ADHD-like challenges in their daily lives or are exploring whether ADHD may be contributing to their difficulties. Therapy can help you better understand these experiences, develop practical strategies, and work towards your goals regardless of whether you have received a diagnosis. If, during therapy, it becomes clear that a comprehensive ADHD assessment may be helpful, we can discuss this together.
Therapy focuses on understanding your day-to-day experience and building practical strategies and support, regardless of diagnostic status. An assessment is a formal, evidence-based process that helps determine whether ADHD explains your experience, and can provide documentation where needed. Many people benefit from one, the other, or both. We can help you think through what's most useful for you. Learn more about Adult ADHD Assessment →
Yes. I offer comprehensive adult ADHD assessments for people seeking a formal diagnostic process. Learn more about Adult ADHD Assessment →
Yes. Medication can be an important part of ADHD treatment for many people, but it doesn't teach practical skills or address the emotional and day-to-day impacts of living with ADHD. Therapy can complement medication by helping you develop strategies for organisation, emotional regulation, relationships, self-understanding and achieving your personal goals.
No. You don't need a referral to book an appointment. You're welcome to self-refer, or your GP or another health professional can refer you if appropriate.
Yes. Telehealth appointments are available where clinically appropriate, offering flexibility if you're unable to attend in person or prefer to access therapy remotely.
Yes. If your GP has prepared a Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for psychology sessions. The Medicare rebate is paid after each eligible session, but does not cover the full cost of your appointment. An out-of-pocket fee will still apply. If you're unsure whether you're eligible, we're happy to discuss this when you book.
