As a professional with 19 years of experience working in schools and with teenagers across the globe and in Australia, I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of ADHD on individuals. ADHD  is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects attention and impulsive behavior.  Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately 5-9% of children have ADHD may continue into adulthood.

ADHD can be a debilitating condition, leading to emotional and social difficulties that impact a person’s quality of life. Symptoms can include forgetfulness, disorganization, absent-mindedness, impulsivity, unable to start tasks, unable to listen, daydreaming, sleep problems, hyperactivity and so on.  Individuals with ADHD often struggle with low self-esteem, negative coping mechanisms, social isolation, extreme procrastination, and perfectionism, which can lead them to underperform in academic, vocational, and personal domains.

The good news is that ADHD can be diagnosed and effectively managed with the right approach, including medication and therapy. It is crucial to seek professional help and support to minimize the impact of negative self-perception, impaired academic performance, lack of ambition and social difficulties.

At our practice, we specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD and its associated side effects, using evidence-based interventions to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Our aim is to create a safe and welcoming space to help individuals become their most authentic selves and reach their full potential.

When untreated,  ADHD might cause further problems such as depression, anxiety, social anxiety, addiction, isolation, alienation, very low-esteem, lacking communication skills, eating disorders, body image issues, romantic relationship and intimacy problems. It is important to determine whether or not ADHD might be the primary diagnosis in such complex cases to provide the best possible treatment and healing pathways.

We offer individual therapy, as well as group therapy, to facilitate personal growth and enhance social functioning. We believe in a collaborative approach that is tailored to the individual’s unique needs and experiences, incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational techniques, assertiveness training, enhancing personal communication skills, focusing on embracing and exploring your authentic and unique self and also educating family, parent and partners along the way.

According to recent statistics in Australia, around 3-7% of Australian children are diagnosed with ADHD. In adults, the prevalence is not as well-characterized, but estimates suggest a substantial number of adults may be living with undiagnosed ADHD.

ADHD can be very challenging for parents. Parents of children with ADHD may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and guilty that they cannot help their child better. They may worry that their child’s struggles are their fault or feel like they are failing as a parent. Additionally, parents may face judgement and criticism from others who may not understand that the behavior of their child is not just a result of poor parenting. Parents of a child with ADHD often need support to learn how to manage the symptoms and help their child thrive. It is important for parents to know that they are not alone and that seeking support and guidance is an important step toward helping their child.
