Understanding and Treating ADHD and ADD
At Evolving Minds Counselling, we acknowledge everyone’s brain works differently, and that’s what makes you uniquely you. If you’re living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), you might find some aspects of life challenging. Our team are here to support you in navigating these challenges in a way that respects your individuality.
What Are ADHD and ADD?
​
ADHD and ADD describe different ways the brain can be wired. ADHD often involves difficulty focusing, impulsivity and feeling like you’re always “on the go.” ADD can make it hard to stay focused or organised.
​
These conditions can make certain things harder, like managing your day, keeping up with work or school, or even connecting with others. With understanding and the right support, you can build on your strengths and create strategies that work for you.
​
Our Approach to Support
​
At Evolving Minds Counselling, our approach is flexible and personalised, ensuring that you feel comfortable and understood.
​
Getting to Know You
​
We start by taking the time to understand how ADHD or ADD impacts you. This helps us create a support plan that fits your needs and respects your unique experiences.
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a tool that can help you manage some of the challenges that come with ADHD or ADD. We’ll work together to find ways to improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and handle emotions in a way that feels right for you.
​
Mindfulness and Self-Awareness
Being present and aware of your thoughts and actions can be powerful. We integrate mindfulness practices into our support to help you feel more in control and reduce stress in a way that works for you. There are many ways to practice mindfulness, and we work with you to find the one that suits you best.
Practical Strategies
​
Whether it’s organising your day, managing time, or planning ahead, we’ll explore practical tools that fit your lifestyle.
​
Support for Relationships
ADHD and ADD can influence how you connect with family, friends, and colleagues. We provide support to help you and your loved ones understand each other better and find ways to build connections that respect and honor everyone’s needs.
​
Continuous Support
​
We understand your needs can change over time, and we're here to support you as they do. With regular check-ins, we make sure that the care you receive stays helpful and relevant to your journey.
