Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, sometimes present as ADD without hyperactivity. People with ADHD find it difficult to maintain attention to a topic that doesn't particularly interest them... Although they are also able to concentrate more deeply than most of topics they find fascinating. Impulse control is another symptom they may have trouble with, among other symptoms, most of which can be addressed successfully.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Navigating a world that wasn't built for a neurodivergent brain can feel like a constant, exhausting uphill battle. I provide specialized, comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating the unique complexities of ADHD and neurodivergence. Often, living with ADHD means dealing with the heavy, paired pressures of chronic overwhelm, masking, high-achievement burnout, and a loud inner critic driven by perfectionism.In our work together, we move beyond generic advice to build an intentional path forward that actually honors your unique brain. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful patterns and create practical, everyday executive functioning and mindset tools. Because ADHD overwhelm and rejection sensitivity are felt deeply in the body, we also integrate neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. This allows us to look beneath the surface, calm the nervous system, and gently process the stuck emotional stress and exhaustion that traditional talk therapy alone can't always reach.Whether you are navigating a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, managing career and relationship strain, or looking to build genuine self-compassion, I am here to support you. Alongside individual virtual sessions, I also value community connection and offer group therapy spaces where you can navigate these transitions and patterns alongside peers who truly understand.

Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Living with ADHD often means living in a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert. Many adults with ADHD are intelligent, sensitive, and capable, yet feel easily overwhelmed, restless, emotionally reactive, or caught in cycles of self-criticism. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion and a constant sense of pressure to “keep up” or hold everything together.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, ADHD is often understood as a protective response that developed at a time when life did not feel emotionally safe, supportive, or well understood. Attention may have learned to move away from difficult feelings or confusing situations as a way to cope. While this once helped, those patterns can continue long after they are needed.
My work with ADHD focuses on helping the nervous system gradually recognize that it is safe to settle and down-regulate. Through mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy, clients learn to create internal signals of safety, orient to the present moment, and gently reduce fight-or-flight activation. This helps bring emotional responses back into proportion with what is actually happening now.
Rather than trying to eliminate ADHD, therapy supports greater steadiness, clarity, and self-trust. As the nervous system settles, focus improves naturally, emotional reactions soften, and daily life begins to feel more manageable and grounded.

ADHD can impact far more than focus it can affect emotional regulation, motivation, relationships, self-esteem, and your ability to keep up with everyday demands.
