ADHD Therapy
ADHD affects more than attention. It can impact organisation, emotional regulation, relationships, work, and daily responsibilities. While often associated with childhood, many adults are only diagnosed later in life when increasing demands make symptoms more noticeable.
At Restoring Peace, our ADHD therapy provides a supportive, non-judgemental space to help individuals better understand their ADHD, develop practical coping strategies, and build on their strengths. Therapy is tailored to your unique experiences, goals, and challenges.
ADHD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD): Why They Can Look Similar
ADHD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD) can share similar symptoms, including difficulty concentrating, emotional dysregulation, forgetfulness, restlessness, and feeling overwhelmed. Because of this overlap, the two conditions can sometimes be mistaken for one another.
However, they have different underlying causes. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood, whereas CPTSD develops following prolonged or repeated traumatic experiences. Some individuals may experience both conditions, making a comprehensive assessment important to understand what is contributing to their difficulties.
How ADHD Therapy Can Help
ADHD therapy helps individuals cope with their daily lives by noticing how their symptoms affect their functioning and wellbeing and taking steps to prevent symptoms from worsening.
Therapy may help you:
-
Improve organisation and time management
-
Manage emotions and reduce overwhelm
-
Strengthen focus and productivity
-
Build healthier routines
-
Improve communication and relationships
-
Increase self-confidence and self-understanding
The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you utilise your strengths and navigate challenges more effectively.
Our Approach at Restoring Peace
At Restoring Peace, we recognize that ADHD often coexists with concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or trauma. Our therapists take a personalized and holistic approach, considering the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms.
As many individuals with ADHD faced trauma such as bullying, segregation and harsh treatment, which deepened their current challenges, therapy may incorporate trauma informed approach such as Internal Family System (IFS), which help you connect with their ADHD part and navigate it can work with your whole system. The objective is to improve emotional regulation, organization, and daily functioning. Other approach may integrate Schema Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance or Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focus solely on the present and here and now. Our therapist provides safe and compassionate support work collaboratively with you at your preferred pace.

You may benefit from ADHD therapy if your symptoms are affecting your work, studies, relationships, emotional wellbeing, or everyday functioning.
Whether you have a formal ADHD diagnosis or are beginning to question whether ADHD or trauma may be contributing to your difficulties, speaking with a mental health professional can help you gain clarity and identify the most appropriate support.
