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

  • Depression and anxiety which are common secondary impacts of ADHD

Parent & Family Support

We provide support for parents of children with ADHD and loved ones of adults with ADHD.

Areas people seek support include:
 

  • Adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis

  • Understanding the ADHD brain

  • Responding to big emotions

  • Parenting strategies for ADHD behaviour support, daily routines, environmental changes and positive connection

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.
