Therapy for ADHD

What is Therapy for ADHD?

Therapy for ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) involves Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) designed to address the core symptoms and functional impairments associated with ADHD. While medication is often a key component in managing ADHD, therapy plays a crucial role in helping clients develop the skills necessary to function effectively with ADHD. Our approach focuses on strategies that enhance the functional challenges associated with ADHD.

How Therapy for ADHD Works

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT for ADHD helps clients modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, enabling better self-control and emotional regulation. It is particularly effective in addressing co-occurring issues such as anxiety or depression.
  • Behavioural Coaching: This involves learning specific skills for managing the difficulties associated with ADHD, such as time management, poor organization, and distractibility. Behavioural coaching is practical and action-oriented, providing tools that can be immediately applied to daily functioning.
  • Skills Training: This includes teaching social skills or problem-solving skills using role-playing and other therapy techniques, which are especially helpful for clients struggling with interpersonal relationships due to ADHD.
