Sustainable Functioning with ADHD
Structured support for reflective adults who want to function well
without constant pressure, overwhelm or exhaustion.
The Cost of ADHD
Many adults with ADHD are intelligent, capable, and thoughtful.
Outwardly, they often function well enough. Inwardly, they are working too hard to do so.
Over time, this can lead to:
a sense of “coping, but at a cost”
cycles of over-effort followed by withdrawal, avoidance or shutdown
difficulty sustaining attention without pressure
persistent self-criticism and doubt
even a chronic sense of overwhelm
This work is for adults who want to function sustainably,
not by pushing harder, but by learning how attention, energy, and self-regulation actually work for them.
The focus of this work
This is not productivity coaching and it is not trauma therapy.
The focus is on:
understanding how ADHD shows up in your nervous system
recognising early signs of overload and attentional collapse
working with attention rather than fighting it
developing realistic, humane structure
reducing self-attack and internal pressure
building trust in your own signals and limits
The emphasis is on containment, clarity, and steadiness rather than optimisation or performance.
How I work
The work is:
structured
time-limited
clearly scoped
Sessions are focused and practical, with space for reflection but without emotional flooding or open-ended exploration.
I work in defined packages rather than ongoing, indefinite therapy. This helps keep the work grounded, predictable, and sustainable — for both client and practitioner.
Sessions are conducted online.
Who this work is for
This work is particularly suited to:
adults with diagnosed or strongly suspected ADHD
often late-diagnosed
thoughtful, self-aware, and reflective
outwardly functioning, inwardly under pressure
looking for steadiness rather than constant self-management
Who this work is not for
This work is not suitable for:
crisis support
active trauma processing
open-ended therapeutic work
If trauma becomes the dominant issue, I will help you think about appropriate next steps and referral options.
Please note, also, that although this work does tend to enable greater effectiveness and productivity this is not the focus.
