Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people’s behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may be impulsive. ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems.
ADHD symptoms commonly start in early childhood and can continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognised or diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms may not be as clear as ADHD symptoms in children. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention may continue.
Adult ADHD symptoms may include:
- Impulsiveness
- Disorganization and problems prioritizing
- Poor time management skills
- Problems focusing on a task
- Trouble multitasking
- Excessive activity or restlessness
- Poor planning
- Low frustration tolerance
- Frequent mood swings
- Problems following through and completing tasks
- Hot temper
- Trouble coping with stress

Autism, ADHD and Neurodiversity. “I work at the client’s pace and therapy is a collaboration with one another to determine the best mode and style of therapy at any given to me. My work is always client centred yet even more so when treating autistic people, those with ADHD, undiagnosed or diagnosed and with clients who are neurodiverse. Therapy will involve the client’s sense of where they are in their life, how they are impacted by neurodiversity, ADHD, ASD as well as the impact of medication. Discrimination in wider society and the workplace are common themes for clients and this is examined alongside the impact this has had on the individual and their wider identity. You can expect the therapy space to offer support and adjustment to your needs as well as the pace being tailored to you so that you can get the most out of therapy.” Sreena Pluck, Gestalt Psychotherapist >
“Integrating humanistic, CBT, and transpersonal approaches offers a comprehensive and supportive framework for clients with ADHD. Humanistic therapy emphasises empathy and unconditional positive regard, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and accepted, fostering trust and openness. CBT helps identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and difficulties with attention and focus, providing clients with practical strategies for managing ADHD symptoms, such as time management and organisation. Transpersonal therapy assists clients in finding meaning and purpose in their lives, which can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with feelings of inadequacy or low self-esteem. Together, these approaches address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects of ADHD, empowering clients to manage their symptoms, develop coping strategies, and lead fulfilling lives. This integrated approach ensures that clients receive holistic care, addressing their unique needs and promoting overall well-being.” Iqra Humayyon, Integrative Therapist >
