Adult ADHD

Manage your ADHD your way with person-centred counselling and coaching

You are unique. Your ADHD is a part of you. You have your own ways of thinking and feeling. Person-centred counselling & coaching for adult ADHD works with you, not on you.

Modern life makes increasing demands, and it can seem difficult to fit in. From school onwards we are told to ‘sit down, shut up and pay attention’, when this is just not us.

People with ADHD are much more likely to suffer from stress, anxiety disorders, clinical depression, and other conditions. Worse, people with ADHD are generally less able to cope with these additional challenges.

I have ‘adult ADHD’, and I understand that options for managing ADHD are limited. Most psychotherapy for ADHD focuses on reinforcing life skills such as time management. This may, or may not, be what you need.

What is desperately needed is something deeper. By comparison, the non-directivity and empathic understanding of a genuinely person-centred / client-centred approach to psychotherapy offers something really unique and valuable to adults with ADHD.

Person-centred therapy can help you make sense of things in your own way, and find your own solutions, so that you can live with increased confidence and dignity.

Shall we talk online or face-to-face?

“I came to Tim because I was struggling to process being diagnosed with ADHD a year ago, at age 38. All the counselling and coaching I could find seemed to be focused on getting me more productive and organised.

Whilst I needed that too (and Tim ended up helping me with this when I was ready), what I needed FIRST was help processing what the diagnosis meant for who I am, and what I felt was possible for me. I needed someone to talk to who didn’t have their own ideas about who I am, and who understood ADHD.

Tim’s person-centred approach to ADHD was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to be able to talk over what it’s like to be ME, and to have Tim gently encourage me to give myself more space to just be.

Working with Tim, I’ve learned how to slow time down and not simply react without thinking. I’ve learned it is possible for me to be mindful even though I have ADHD. And I’ve found moments of peace and contentment.

I’ve relaxed about my diagnosis and stopped obsessing over identifying symptoms, and simply learned who I am, ADHD or not. And, when we shifted into a coaching mode, I even got organised! It’s a subtle but life-changing experience.”

Please note:

The person-centred approach is very different to other therapies. We’ll be having a real conversation, but as equals, with gentleness and respect for your self-determination.

We will focus on whatever is most important to you at that moment, feeling our way forward together. Bring words or bring silence, its all ok. We can start anywhere.

Person-centred therapy is difficult and requires skill. Many therapists and counsellors claim to work in a person-centred way but may not be suitably trained. Choose your therapist carefully.

May you be well. May you be happy. May you be free from suffering.
