Understanding ADHD in Adults

ADHD in adults can manifest differently than it does in children. While hyperactivity may decrease, challenges with focus, organization, and emotional regulation often persist, impacting work, relationships, and personal well-being.

Common Signs of Adult ADHD:

  • Difficulty starting or finishing tasks

  • Struggling to organize schedules or keep track of responsibilities

  • Frequently losing items like keys or important documents

  • Interrupting conversations or speaking impulsively

  • Trouble managing time or meeting deadlines

  • Intense emotional responses, including frustration or overwhelm

ADHD isn’t a lack of effort or intelligence; it’s a difference in how the brain processes information. With the right support, adults with ADHD can develop practical tools to overcome challenges and embrace their unique strengths.

ADHD Counselling for Adults

ADHD counselling is designed to address the specific needs of adults living with ADHD. Whether you’ve been managing symptoms for years or are newly diagnosed, counselling can help you:

  • Understand how ADHD affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

  • Build systems for managing time, organization, and responsibilities.

  • Improve emotional regulation and reduce impulsive reactions.

  • Strengthen communication skills and navigate relationship challenges.

  • Increase self-confidence and address feelings of frustration or low self-esteem.

Our Approach to Adult ADHD Counselling

At Alberta Psychology Group, we use evidence-based techniques and a personalized approach to help adults with ADHD achieve their goals.

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps adults with ADHD develop practical strategies to manage focus, reduce procrastination, and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that may contribute to stress or self-doubt.

2. Executive Function Coaching

We focus on improving skills like time management, task prioritization, and goal setting to reduce frustration and increase productivity.

3. Emotional Regulation Support

For many adults with ADHD, managing emotions can be a challenge. We teach tools to navigate intense feelings, reduce impulsivity, and respond effectively to stress.

4. Strength-Based Approach

We emphasize building on your unique strengths, helping you leverage your creativity, problem-solving abilities, and resilience to achieve success.

5. Relationship and Workplace Support

ADHD can impact relationships and career performance. We offer strategies for improving communication, navigating workplace challenges, and advocating for your needs.
