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
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 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.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
