ADHD isn’t just about being distracted. For many adults—especially women and neurodivergent folks—it looks like constant guilt, task paralysis, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re never living up to your potential. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

At Reclaim & Rise Counselling, we offer ADHD counselling in Stratford and virtually across Ontario, focused on helping you work with your brain—not against it.

ADHD in adults can look like:

Procrastinating for weeks, then finishing something in a panic

Losing hours to scrolling, zoning out, or perfectionist spirals
Constantly starting things and abandoning them
Sensory overwhelm, noise sensitivity, or burnout from small tasks
Feeling like you're always “behind” or letting someone down
Trouble regulating emotions—snapping, crying, or shutting down
People-pleasing, masking, or performing to keep the peace
A deep fear of being lazy, flaky, or not enough

Whether you’re officially diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just relate to all of this—you deserve support that actually fits.

ADHD is real—and so is the shame that comes with it.

Many of our clients are high-achieving, high-functioning people who’ve learned to compensate for years—but they’re exhausted. Maybe you were missed as a kid. Maybe no one believed you. Maybe you're still gaslighting yourself every time you forget something or can't start a task.

This isn’t about willpower. It’s about nervous system regulation, identity repair, and self-trust rebuilding. That’s the kind of work we do here.

What ADHD Counselling Can Help With

You don’t need another planner or productivity hack. You need support that meets you where you are—emotionally, energetically, and practically.

In ADHD therapy, we can help you:

Understand how ADHD interacts with trauma, anxiety, and people-pleasing
Learn emotional regulation tools that actually stick
Unpack perfectionism, shame spirals, and inner criticism
Navigate relationships, boundaries, and communication challenges
Work through executive dysfunction with compassion—not guilt
Create strategies that fit your life and your brain
Reconnect with the version of you who isn’t always “behind”

We blend mindset work, nervous system tools, and practical strategies—always grounded in who you are, not who the world expects you to be.

ADHD is just one part of the neurodiversity spectrum.

Many of our clients identify as neurodivergent—not just because of ADHD, but because they process the world differently. That might include sensory sensitivity, autism traits, AuDHD, or simply a brain that doesn’t follow the rules of “normal.” We honour the full spectrum of neurodiversity and create a space where your differences aren’t pathologized—they’re respected, explored, and understood. You don’t need to mask, shrink, or explain. You get to be fully yourself here.

Why Reclaim & Rise?

Therapists who get it—clinically and personally
Some of our team live with ADHD themselves. Others have supported countless clients navigating it. We bring both lived experience and therapeutic expertise to create a space where you’re deeply understood.

Real strategies, not just surface-level advice
This isn’t about productivity hacks or “just try harder.” It’s about rebuilding how you see yourself and relate to your mind.

Trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming
We understand how ADHD, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation often overlap. We help you untangle it—with zero shame.

Flexible, compassionate care
