What is ADHD, anyway?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects executive functioning, including focus, prioritising, impulse control, emotion regulation, memory, and learning from mistakes. It is often misunderstood, leading to judgement, unrealistic expectations, and labels such as “lazy” or “difficult,” which can erode self esteem and increase shame. ADHD can feel isolating and frustrating.
ADHD is a popular topic in counselling these days but is not well understood by the public. Research on how ADHD impacts girls and women didn’t start until the 1990’s.
I work with clients who are wondering if they have ADHD and those with an official diagnosis.
