I am banging on about this a lot at the moment……that’s because I think it’s super important.
Yes there is a lot of talk about ADHD, it seems lots of people are being diagnosed…..ACTUALLY there is more understanding of what ADHD looks like now so more peole relate to it…AND…this country has been very slow on diagnosing in the past.
There are lots of people offering ADHD coaching out there….excellent, dont get me wrong, this is a brilliant service.
The ADHD brain struggles with structure and planning so why not look for eternal support with this.
However a lot of people with ADHD have experienced a lack of understanding or support. Particularly those who were diagnosed later in life. Counselling can really help.
On top of life’s traumas and struggles people with ADHD often arrive at counselling with a belief there is something wrong with, or at least, different about them.
People with ADHD often feel they aren’t worth much, they have often received a lot of negative comments which have been internalised.
They may also experience Rejection Sensitivity Disorder, feeling anything, and everything, that comes their way so deeply and painfully.
Counselling can be a space to unpack and understand some of the challenges living with ADHD can bring.
Counselling may even put a new slant or perspective on life. Also lets not forget that we can celebrate and appreciate the positive aspects of ADHD.
Also counselling with me is a safe space that is non judgemental and most importantly deeply accepting.
Many people with ADHD have received the message that they should be, or could be, acting differently. We should all be recognised for we are.
I am going to shout out about how important I think counselling is for ADHDers. Actually for anyone who feels different, or is neurodiverse.
Whether it’s counselling with me, or someone else who resonates better, I say give it a try.
I offer counselling from home in Exwick, Exeter and online.
