ADHD & Neuro-affirming Counselling in B.C.

ADHD in adults doesn’t always look the way people expect. While many people associate ADHD with hyperactivity in children, adult ADHD often shows up differently. Adults may experience ongoing overwhelm, difficulty focusing, challenges with follow through, and years of self criticism about things that seem easy for others. Many people don’t realize these experiences are connected to ADHD until later in life.

Common signs of ADHD in adults can include:

• difficulty starting or finishing tasks

• feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities

• procrastination and burnout cycles

• racing or constantly busy thoughts

• challenges with organization or time management

• emotional intensity or sensitivity

At the same time, many adults with ADHD bring creativity, curiosity, and deep empathy. ADHD counselling and adult ADHD therapy can help you better understand how your brain works and develop practical strategies that support your focus, energy and wellbeing.

Maaaany adults discover their ADHD later in life. A late ADHD diagnosis can bring relief, validation - and a lot of complex feelings. You might find yourself rehashing past experiences, wondering how things could have been different, or grieving years spent feeling misunderstood.

This process often involves a shift in identity. Patterns that once felt like personal failures may start to make more sense through a neurodivergent lens. In therapy, we create space to process these changes with care and curiosity. Adult ADHD therapy can support you in integrating this new understanding of yourself while building confidence and self compassion along the way.

ADHD-informed counselling meets you where you are. Together, we explore strategies and tools designed for ADHD brains and co-create systems that support your unique way of thinking and working. This might include:

• managing overwhelm and burnout

• navigating executive function challenges

• supporting emotional regulation

• building routines that actually stick

• reducing self criticism and shame

• finding ways to nurture creativity and focus

At its core, adult ADHD therapy is about understanding how your brain works, honoring your needs, and unfolding practical scaffolding that helps you thrive - without trying to change who you are.

As an ADHD therapist in BC who also lives with ADHD, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the therapy space. I understand firsthand the mix of challenges and strengths that can come with a neurodivergent brain -the creativity, sensitivity, insight, and sometimes the overwhelm.

My approach to neurodivergent therapy is warm and collaborative. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to support you as we explore what works best for you. Together we might combine reflection, practical tools, creativity, and compassionate curiosity.

Therapy with me is a space where you can show up as you are - without needing to mask, explain, or apologize for how your brain works.
