Counselling for ADHD
Our clinician’s use a variety of evidenced based modalities in order to create an approach that will work for you and give you the best results.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an Evidenced Based approach that challenges negative core beliefs, and looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. It has been shown to be effective at reducing ADHD symptoms, improving executive functions and self-esteem, and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is evidenced Based therapy that has shown to be effective in managing symptoms of ADHD. Helps you learn and develop skills related to emotion regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Values based therapy aimed at supporting you to connect to your values in order to facilitate motivation and change.
EMDR Therapy
Originally designed for trauma, shows promise in aiding individuals with ADHD. By employing bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR can enhance cognitive flexibility and attention regulation. The structured approach helps individuals reframe negative beliefs and build emotional resilience, addressing specific challenges associated with ADHD. As a complementary therapy, EMDR offers a concise and targeted method for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of ADHD, fostering self-discovery and growth
Coaching for ADHD
ADHD coaching involves supporting you in overcoming challenges and achieving goals in a way that is ADHD friendly. ADHD coaches have specialized training in how the ADHD brain works. Your ADHD coach will provide an assessment of your executive functions to uncover your strengths, weakness to build to a plan for treatment.
Together, we will build a plan for success in the areas of work, education, relationships, home life, and self-management. Through one to one sessions and group work, coaches support you in developing an action plan, creating goals, while helping you strengthen skills such as time management, organization, planning/prioritizing, task initiation and completing, working memory, stress tolerance, and emotion regulation. Learning about your unique brain, understanding your executive functions and how to strengthen them is the cornerstone of ADHD coaching.
Many people with ADHD often have difficulty with staying on task and maintaining focus, motivation and organization. A coach can help with procrastination, overwhelm, and self-regulation. A coach can teach strategies, skills, and offer a safe space for processing feelings and experiences, while offering accountability to support you in gaining forward momentum to improve quality of life, to help you reach your goals, and to unlock your true potential
