Often, the struggles we face in our daily lives, can start to feel like a pattern. Sometimes these patterns can be traced back to long ago. Do you find yourself reacting automatically in ways you don’t want to, or feeling hijacked by old wounds that resurface in the present? Counselling offers a space to slow down, understand these imprints from the past, and gently rewrite them. You don't have to stay stuck feeling this way, we’ll work on recognising your triggers, make sense of your experiences, and create new ways of relating that feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.

Not all of us neurodivergent people have 'superpowers', most of us bump into things. However, catering to my niche has really made me marvel at the depth in our thought process. Let's harness our strengths. We are sensitive, empathetic & more resilient than we realise. We can bounce back & stop people pleasing & set boundaries; be our true authentic self.

ADHD Therapists

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?

You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?

Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?

It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
