ℹ️ Use this section to make your client feel seen—not diagnosed. Describe what the problem looks like in their everyday life and how it feels internally, using the words your clients would actually use. Avoid clinical definitions, jargon, or simply listing diagnostic symptoms.
Maybe lately, [relatable description of what has been going on]. You’ve tried [what they’ve already tried], but you still can’t seem to [what they wish would change].
On the outside, it might look like:
You [specific behaviour, habit, or situation]
You [specific behaviour, habit, or situation]
You [specific behaviour, habit, or situation]
You [specific behaviour, habit, or situation]


But underneath all of that, it feels more like…
“[thought they have but might not say out loud].”
“[fear or worry they keep coming back to].”
“[way they feel about themselves].”
“[thing they secretly wish were different].”
And after a while, [how this problem is affecting their confidence, relationships, identity, work, or everyday life].
ℹ️ Use this section to share your philosophy about the problem your client is facing. Start with the belief or expectation you want to challenge, show how it impacts your client, then clearly state what you believe they deserve instead.

[I/We] don't believe that.

One day you’re motivated, focused, and full of ideas. The next, even the smallest tasks can feel impossible to begin.
Work with an ADHD therapist who understands the reality of living with ADHD — so you can feel more regulated, focused, and in control.

You care deeply. That’s part of what makes this so frustrating. You may find yourself:
procrastinating until panic takes over
starting over again and again
feeling overwhelmed by “simple” tasks
swinging between hyperfocus and shutdown
relying on pressure just to function
masking how hard things actually feel
feeling exhausted from holding everything together
doubting whether you can trust yourself to follow through

You’ve probably spent years hearing things like:
"You have so much potential.”
“You’re so smart, but…”
“Why is this so hard for you?”
“You just need to be more consistent.”
Over time, those words stop sounding like feedback.
They start feeling like identity.
And even though part of you knows you’re capable, another part wonders:
“What if I never become the person I know I could be?”

The shame of falling behind.
The shame of breaking promises to yourself.
The shame of being able to do something sometimes — but not consistently.
The shame of feeling like you’re always underperforming your own potential.
A lot of adults with ADHD don’t just struggle with productivity.
They struggle with self-trust.
After years of missed deadlines, forgotten tasks, unfinished projects, emotional overwhelm, and burnout, it can start to feel like:
“Maybe the problem isn’t ADHD. Maybe the problem is me.”
But you're not broken.
And you were never meant to force yourself into systems built for completely different nervous systems.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in ADHD therapy for adults, anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and identity-related struggles.
And honestly? I get it — because I have ADHD too.
It wasn’t until I was diagnosed at 30 that so many of my own struggles finally started to make sense.
Therapy with me is less about “fixing” you and more about helping you understand yourself underneath the overwhelm, masking, self-doubt, overthinking, and survival mode.
Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for that Neurospicy brain of yours in real life — not just in theory.

ADHD therapy can help you better understand your brain, manage ADHD overwhelm, rebuild self-trust, and build a life that actually works for you — not just one that looks acceptable from the outside.
Common questions about therapy for ADHD.
No — you don't need a diagnosis to start therapy. Many of my clients come in suspecting they have ADHD but haven't gone through a formal assessment yet. If what you're experiencing resonates — the overwhelm, the executive dysfunction, the emotional dysregulation, the constant feeling of falling behind — that's enough to get started. Therapy can be helpful whether you have a diagnosis or not.
Do you only work with people who have ADHD? Not exclusively. A lot of my clients come in dealing with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or relationship struggles — and ADHD turns out to be part of the picture, or it doesn't, and we work with what's actually going on. If you're unsure whether ADHD fits your experience, we can explore that together.
How long does ADHD therapy take? It depends on what you're working through. Some clients feel meaningful shifts within a few months; others prefer ongoing support as their life evolves. There's no pressure to commit to a specific timeline — we'll check in regularly and adjust as we go.
I do. I was diagnosed at 30, and it reframed so much of my own life story — the years of feeling behind, the shame, the masking, the "why is this so hard for me?" moments. That lived experience shapes how I work. I'm not going to hand you a generic productivity system and call it therapy. We'll figure out what actually works for your brain, in your real life.
It's not just coping strategies and habit trackers. We'll look at the patterns underneath the surface — the shame cycles, the nervous system responses, the emotional dysregulation, the survival mode you've been running on for years. From there, we build practical tools and systems that work with your brain, not against it. Sessions are 50 or 75 minutes, held virtually, and tailored entirely to you.
Yes — because (ironically) most of what gets marketed to people with ADHD is built for neurotypical brains. If you've tried every planner, app, routine, and productivity hack and still feel like you're failing, the problem isn't your effort. Therapy helps you understand why those systems don't stick and build an approach that's actually designed for how your nervous system works.

As a psychotherapist, I'm not able to provide a formal ADHD diagnosis , however, we can use clinical assessment tools within our work together to get a clearer picture of what you're experiencing. If those point toward a formal diagnosis being helpful or recommended, I can refer you to the appropriate professional to take that next step.
