ADHD/ADD

ADHD can affect far more than attention and concentration. For many people, it can influence emotion regulation, coping skills, relationships, self-esteem, work, and day-to-day functioning. Understanding ADHD as part of the bigger picture can be an important step towards finding the right support.

We provide ADHD assessment, diagnosis and treatment in Ireland, with a focus on understanding how ADHD may be affecting you as an individual. We consider the ways ADHD can influence organization, motivation, impulsivity, emotional responses, stress management, communication and relationships, as well as the strategies you may have developed to cope.

ADHD can look different in women and is often overlooked or diagnosed later in life. Women may be more likely to experience difficulties that are less outwardly obvious, such as inattention, overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, masking, perfectionism and chronic exhaustion. Many women develop extensive coping strategies that can hide the underlying difficulties for years.

Our approach looks beyond the label of ADHD. We consider how ADHD interacts with your experiences, strengths, challenges and relationships, so that treatment can be tailored to what you actually need.

Whether you are seeking answers for the first time or already have an ADHD diagnosis, understanding the impact of ADHD can help you develop more effective coping strategies and move towards greater confidence and wellbeing.
