Is this group for you?

This group is designed for adults who have a diagnosis of ADHD or ADD, or who recognise ADHD traits in their daily life, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis.

Do you…

Find it hard to start or finish tasks, even when they matter to you?
Struggle with procrastination, time management or staying organised?
Feel overwhelmed by emotions or find it hard to regulate your reactions?
Experience negative self-talk or feelings of shame around your ADHD?
Feel isolated, like others don’t quite understand how your brain works?
Want to connect with others who truly get it?

If any of this sounds familiar, this group was made for you.

Why group therapy?

One-to-one therapy is valuable, but there are things that only a group can offer. Group therapy is not just about learning. It is about feeling genuinely understood, perhaps for the first time, by people who truly get what it is like to live with an ADHD brain.

You are not alone

Hearing others share similar struggles is one of the most powerful parts of group therapy. It breaks down the shame and isolation that so many adults with ADHD carry silently.

Real, practical insights

Strategies shared by peers who live with ADHD feel more personal and realistic than advice from a book. Group members pick up tools from each other that they might never have found alone.

Understand your brain

The group offers psychoeducation on the ADHD brain, helping you understand why you think, feel and behave the way you do, and replacing self-blame with self-awareness.

A safe space to grow

The group is a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you can practise new skills, share openly, and build confidence alongside others on the same journey.

What you will gain

Over 7 weeks, you will build a practical toolkit for everyday life with ADHD, and a community that understands you.

Outcomes:

A deeper understanding of your neurodiversity and your unique way of thinking
Practical strategies to manage procrastination, planning and time
Tools to regulate your emotions and build distress tolerance
Skills to improve focus and reduce the impact of distractions
Techniques to challenge negative thought patterns and reduce self-blame
A stronger sense of connection with others who share your experience
Greater confidence in setting boundaries and managing relationships
