ADHD Therapy
ADHD Therapy in Hampshire
From struggling to focus and stay organised to being unable to manage and regulate emotions, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) comes with a wide array of challenges leaving those with this condition feeling frustrated and misunderstood. If you’re suffering from this condition, it can be overwhelming to face the challenges that affect almost every part of your life.
When ADHD is undiagnosed and untreated, you may feel misunderstood or labelled as lazy and unwilling to try. These messages can create lasting feelings of shame, self-doubt, and low self-esteem, impacting how you see yourself as a person.
Whether your confirmed ADHD diagnosis was in childhood or later life, seeking ADHD therapy can bring clarity to what you’re going through. It allows you to gain a better understanding of the symptoms, access tools and have support to overcome the various challenges it may bring.
As a Clinical Psychologist in Hampshire, my evidence-based, bespoke ADHD therapy will help you manage your symptoms and lead a more balanced life.
The Impact of ADHD
ADHD is far more nuanced than trouble focusing. Common challenges include:
- Concentrating, staying on tasks and maintaining interest
- Organising, prioritising, or following through with tasks
- Feelings of overwhelm frustration, impatience and frequent mood swings
- Impulsive actions, and a general struggle with self-control
- Managing relationships due to impulsivity, forgetfulness, or strong emotional reactions
For many, these struggles lead to secondary challenges that formulate because of being misunderstood and blamed for behaving in a certain way.
Depending on the person, ADHD symptoms can manifest as perfectionism and a fear of failure, causing delays in initiating tasks and an overwhelming feeling of getting everything “just right”. This can lead to feelings of not being good enough, damaging your self-worth. Furthermore, you may start to doubt yourself, questioning your talents and capabilities.
If not addressed, these symptoms and challenges can have a lasting impact on your work, studies, relationships, and self-esteem.
One solution to this is finding a Clinical Psychologist, like myself, that can help you address both the practical and emotional aspects of this psychological condition.
