What Is ADHD?
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition in which a person has trouble focusing or paying attention to tasks and/or the individual may act without thinking leading to challenges at home, school, work, and in relationships.
Symptoms may begin in early childhood and can carry on during adulthood.

How Does ADHD Therapy Work?
ADHD therapy works differently for children and adults. Let's explore more!
- Therapy for ADHD children: This takes a whole family approach to bring a change. The therapy focuses on changing a child’s actions. A therapist will guide the family in creating a therapy plan. This will help the family set priorities and work on areas that need attention. Therapy sessions will give children and their parents the know-how they need to make changes successfully. Children will develop new skills and learn new ways to pay attention. Simultaneously, parents will learn new ways of helping their child with ADHD succeed. The therapist will also introduce new techniques for rewarding positive behaviours and controlling negative ones.
- Therapy for ADHD adults: Therapy for adults requires different strategies. Adults with ADHD find it stressful to manage emotions, organize work, manage time and get motivated. This leads to low self-confidence, high stress, feeling of defeat, inferiority and other negative thought processes. If you’re an adult with ADHD, we can help you overcome your problems. Rather than teaching new strategies, our therapists help you reframe your thoughts. During sessions, you can examine the situation and look at other ways the situation could have been managed. This can help you learn to cope with similar problems in the future.
