Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often means living with a brain that is brilliant in specific ways but challenged by the demands of daily life. You might find yourself exhausted from 'masking' socially, struggling to organise tasks despite high intelligence, or feeling overwhelmed by sensory input.
These aren't signs of weakness; they are differences in how you process the world. Our role is not to 'fix' you, but to collaborate with you. We help you understand your own neurobiology and build a practical toolkit — from executive functioning hacks to social energy management — so you can stop surviving and start thriving.
Living with ASD & ADHD
ASD and ADHD are neurodevelopmental conditions that affect how individuals process information, manage attention, interact socially, and navigate the demands of daily life.
While each person’s experience is unique, both ASD and ADHD can significantly impact learning, relationships, emotional regulation, and overall functioning across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Understanding Neurodiversity
Individuals with ASD and ADHD often bring distinct strengths such as creativity, deep focus on interests, strong pattern recognition, or innovative problem-solving.
At the same time, they may face challenges that affect everyday life, including:
-
Difficulties with attention, planning, and task completion
-
Heightened sensitivity to sensory input or emotional stimuli
-
Challenges with social communication, perspective-taking, or reading social cues
-
Struggles with transitions, flexibility, or regulating emotions
-
Feelings of frustration, overwhelm, or low self-esteem from repeated misunderstandings or unmet expectations
These experiences are not signs of weakness—they reflect a different way of engaging with the world. With the right support, individuals with ASD and/or ADHD can learn strategies that enhance their strengths and improve areas of difficulty.
How Therapy Can Help
Our psychologists provide individualised, strengths-based care tailored to the unique needs of neurodivergent clients. Our approach is collaborative and compassionate, working with children, adolescents, and adults — as well as their families — to better understand and navigate the specific challenges they face.
Using evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), executive functioning coaching, social skills training, and emotion regulation strategies, therapy can help:
In therapy, individuals learn not only to cope, but to thrive — gaining practical tools and emotional insight that support success in school, work, relationships, and beyond.
