You don’t have to keep struggling against your own brain or your partner. Let’s work together to create a life—and a relationship—that works with your ADHD, not against it.
ADHD Therapy
Navigating Neurodiversity with Clarity and Connection
Our brains are all wired differently—and those differences define how we experience the world.
ADHD is more than just a challenge with focus—it affects all areas of executive function – emotional regulation, impulse control, organisational skills, working memory and simply managing daily responsibilities. Whether you’re seeking an ADHD Specialist in Melbourne to better navigate these challenges or looking for ways to strengthen your relationships, ADHD Counselling Melbourne offers a pathway from frustration to understanding and meaningful connection.
Why
ADHD-Informed Support Matters
For many adults, ADHD can lead to a lifetime of feeling “misunderstood” or “never enough.” In relationships, it often manifests as emotional volatility, communication breakdowns, or a “chore war” where the division of everyday responsibilities feels frustratingly unfair. Specialist ADHD Relationship Counselling helps move the focus away from blaming the individual, toward understanding the neurodivergent dynamic as a team.
Specialist Support for
Individuals & Couples
My practice provides a neurodiverse-affirming space where ADHD and AuDHD are viewed not as a deficit to be fixed, but as a dynamic to be understood. Through ADHD Therapy in Melbourne, I help you navigate
- Emotional Regulation: Managing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and the “highs and lows” of the ADHD emotional cycles.
- ADHD Couples Therapy: Addressing the “parent-child” dynamic that often develops when one partner carries the executive load and finds themself overfunctioning.
- Communication Bridges: Moving past the “he said/she said” to understand how ADHD impacts listening, memory, and follow-through on commitments.
Tapping into the ADHD Brain
The eft² Approach
Traditional therapy can sometimes feel too slow or structured for the ADHD mind. My specialised approach, Tapping into Relationships – eft², is uniquely suited for ADHD Couples Counselling because it is active, somatic, and focused on immediate emotional regulation.
Instead of just talking about the problems, we use the eft² protocol to:
- Calm the ADHD Nervous System: Use Tapping to reduce the “noise” and overwhelm that leads to shutdown or blowups.
- Create External Structures: Build “ADHD-friendly” relationship habits that respect how your brain actually works.
- Rebuild Intimacy: Move past the resentment of forgotten tasks and commitments to rediscover the humour, passion and creativity that often come with Adult ADHD.
Why Choose an
ADHD Specialist in Melbourne?
Generic advice like “just use a shared planner” doesn’t work for a neurodivergent brain. By working with an ADHD Specialist in Melbourne, you gain access to tools designed for your specific neurology. Whether you need ADHD Couples Therapy to save your relationship or individual ADHD Counselling in Melbourne to reclaim your self-esteem, my trauma-informed, neuro-affirming lens ensures you feel seen and supported.

FAQs
No. Many adults seek ADHD Therapy in Melbourne because they recognise the patterns in their lives, even without a formal clinical diagnosis. We can begin working on strategies and emotional regulation immediately. If you require a formal diagnosis for medication, I can help guide you toward a trusted ADHD Specialist in Melbourne for assessment.
Traditional relationship counselling often assumes both partners process information similarly. ADHD Couples Therapy acknowledges that behaviours like ‘forgetting a task’ often stem from executive dysfunction, not a lack of love. I prioritise emotional regulation to foster empathic reconnection, creating a space of compassionate curiosity. This allows partners to understand each other’s intent without rushing to judge outcomes, enabling them to co-create practical, mutually effective strategies.
Yes. This is a common reason couples seek ADHD Relationship Counselling. We move away from the “nagging” cycle and instead create collaborative systems that play to each partner’s strengths, using tools that account for the ADHD challenges with memory and initiation.
ADHD Relationship Counselling recognises the unique challenges of managing emotional regulation, including ADHD rage. While medication can play a significant role in supporting emotional balance, I can help you uncover the underlying triggers contributing to your anger outbursts. Together, we’ll work on strategies to manage these moments without losing your temper, fostering a sense of control and calm. I’ll also guide you in addressing and repairing relationships with those you may have hurt, creating a pathway for understanding, growth, and reconnection.
Absolutely. ADHD often runs in families. I provide support for parents navigating their own ADHD while raising neurodivergent children. My approach focuses on “emotion regulation coaching,” drawing on Dr. Stephen Porges’s theory to promote self-regulation. This helps you lead your family with greater patience and reduced burnout.
