Support for your ADHD
We use the term support because our clinicians take a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We don’t try to change who you are or "fix" your ADHD.
Instead, sessions focus on understanding how your ADHD works and making practical adjustments that help you work with your brain rather than masking it. The goal is to reduce the negative impacts of ADHD while supporting you to feel confident and fully yourself.
Areas people seek support include:
-
Adjusting to a new diagnosis
-
Learning how to accommodate your ADHD at work and in your career
-
Study skills and accommodations for students studying at university, TAFE and those undertaking the HSC or equivalent
-
Career assessment & development
-
Sleep issues stemming from ADHD
-
Training for parents of young people with ADHD

Therapy for ADHD'ers

Our clinicians provide tailored mental health support for ADHDers. Sessions focus on treating co-occurring conditions alongside ADHD.
We can also explore the grief of a new diagnosis, the distress of a later-life diagnosis, and feelings of shame linked to past experiences. We aim to strengthen wellbeing while building self-understanding.
Areas people seek support include:
-
Depression and anxiety which are common secondary impacts of ADHD
-
Trauma therapy

Parent & Family Support

How much does a support or therapy session cost?
A full fee session costs $210 with our psychologists, $220 with our senior psychologists $190 for occupational therapists, and $250 with our clinical psychologists. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHCP), you will receive a Medicare rebate of $98.95 for a psychologist and $145.25 for a clinical psychologist. Alternatively, some private health insurers will cover part of the cost of a session, check with your insurer for details.
What can I expect in the first session for therapy?
In the first session, we assess the issues at hand, set goals and start working on our plan. Over the next few sessions, we develop the plan further, building new skills and mindsets. You’re encouraged to practice these new skills in between sessions to develop them further.
Is there a cancellation policy for support or therapy sessions?
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice carry a cancellation fee $50. If you do not pay this fee, you will not be able to book in another session. In the case of patients with multiple cancellations, to book an appointment a non refundable advanced payment of the session fee may be required to book an appointment. We encourage all patients to call us to talk about why they missed a session.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
ADHD Therapy Australia is a psychology clinic. Psychiatrists are medically trained to diagnose and prescribe medication. Psychologists work with clients to develop skills that assist in the management of a condition. The research indicates that medication and therapy combined produce the best treatment outcomes for clients with ADHD.
