Is this you?

Could ADHD Counselling Help You or Someone You Care About?

Do you or someone close to you often struggle with attention, inattention, or time management, even when trying your best?

Do impulsive behaviour, hyperactivity, or forgetfulness make school, work, or daily routines more challenging?

Have these patterns affected self-esteem, relationships, or everyday life, making you wonder if ADHD could be the cause?

yes?

If any of these felt familiar and you answered ‘yes,’ help is here for people with ADHD. Many people with ADHD feel frustrated or overwhelmed by these struggles. ADHD therapy and counselling can help individuals understand their thought patterns, manage symptoms, and learn practical strategies through CBT, mindfulness, ADHD coaching, or working with a registered psychotherapist or counsellor specializing in ADHD.

No waitlists. In-person in Barrie, Orillia, Newmarket, or online across Ontario.

A story like yours

Finding Support Through ADHD Counselling

Ethan, a young adult with ADHD, often found everyday tasks at work and school overwhelming. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder made it difficult for him to focus, stay organized, and remember important details. Like many people with ADHD, he was easily distracted, forgetful, and struggled with low self-esteem, which affected his mental health and confidence. He needed guidance to manage the challenges of ADHD and find practical ways to stay on track.

He first joined support groups, connecting with others who shared lived experiences of ADHD, which helped him feel less alone. He then tried online therapy with the same ADHD counsellor, a service offered virtually across Ontario, before transitioning to in-person sessions. These steps allowed him to work on strategies to manage inattention, impulsive behaviour, and hyperactivity disorder, while developing skills to improve focus and self-management in work or school.

Through ADHD counselling, Ethan learned practical strategies using cognitive-behavioural approaches, psychoeducation, and structured treatment plans. Therapy helped him develop skills to manage his symptoms, strengthen his self-esteem, and address mental health concerns. ADHD coaching and guidance from specialists supporting neurodivergent clients also helped him apply these strategies in daily life.

Your roadmap

A Step-by-Step Approach to ADHD Counselling Success

Intake Phase

Getting started

The therapist makes sure parents are fully informed about child counselling, what to expect and their involvement in the process, with an opportunity to ask questions and share their insights and concerns.

Discovery Phase

Understanding your child

The therapist gets to know your child, understands what they are experiencing and hears the concerns and goals that brought your family to counselling. From that understanding, they develop a Care Plan with clear goals.

Working Phase

Working toward your child’s goals

The therapist and your child work directly on the goals in the Care Plan, adapting how they work to your child’s age, development and way of communicating, and adjusting when something is not helping.

Check-In Phase

Building on progress

As your child becomes more able to use what they have been working on outside counselling, appointments become less frequent. The therapist keeps checking how things are going and whether anything needs attention.

Follow-Up Phase

Staying connected

When regular counselling is no longer needed, active counselling ends. Your child remains connected to Family TLC and can return if counselling is needed again in the future.
