Scott Stalley Realistic Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDipBA, GradDipMgmt(Learning), AdvDipOHS, DipCouns, DipQA, CertIV TAE
Living with ADHD can feel like running a race with your mind constantly shifting gears fast, slow, distracted, overwhelmed, or hyper‑focused at the wrong moments. Many people with ADHD spend years feeling misunderstood, criticised, or labelled as “lazy,” “inconsistent,” or “too much,” when in reality their brain simply works differently.
My approach is to help you understand your ADHD, not fight against it.
I work with adults who struggle with emotional overwhelm, impulsivity, people‑pleasing, relationship difficulties, low motivation, and the constant pressure of trying to keep up.
Together, we explore how ADHD shows up in your daily life, your relationships, your routines, and your sense of self. From there, we build realistic strategies that support focus, organisation, emotional regulation, and confidence without expecting you to become someone you’re not.
ADHD comes with challenges, but it also comes with strengths: creativity, intuition, resilience, and the ability to think in ways others can’t. My role is to help you understand your brain, reduce the shame, and create a life that works with your wiring instead of against it.
You deserve support that sees the whole you, not just the symptoms.

ADHD - Complimentary Consultation
If ADHD is affecting your life - or your child’s - you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I work with individuals who have a diagnosis, suspected ADHD, or traits of neurodiversity to better understand how their brain works and develop practical ways to manage attention, emotions and daily demands.
Using a neuroscience-informed, strengths-based approach, we work together to reduce overwhelm, build organisation and self-trust, and create sustainable strategies for buiness, school, work, relationships and life.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore whether this approach is the right fit for you.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
ADHD-like behaviour often emerges during development in an environment of absent, inconsistent or misattuned caregiving. It is often an adaptive response to the pain or discomfort of being left alone and bored at a very young age. I draw upon the work of Gabor Mate and others in helping you understand why you have ADHD-like behaviours, and how you can relate to them differently, supporting you to embrace greater agency, self-forgiveness, stability and healing.
