Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ADHD therapy

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and activity levels, impacting daily functioning and relationships.

Behavioural therapies like CBT help you develop practical strategies for organisation, time management, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Therapy gives you tools that work with your ADHD brain, not against it, creating lasting improvements in daily functioning.

Yes, ADHD affects 2-5% of adults. Many people are diagnosed later in life when they recognise symptoms impacting their work, relationships, or daily functioning. Adult ADHD often presents differently than in children, with more emphasis on disorganisation, difficulty focusing, and emotional regulation challenges.

Many people notice improvements within the first few sessions as they learn new strategies. However, building lasting habits takes time—typically 8-16 sessions to develop solid foundations. The skills you learn continue to benefit you long after therapy ends.

ADHD therapy uses techniques including time management strategies, organisation systems, breaking tasks into smaller steps, emotional regulation skills, impulse control techniques, and mindfulness practices. Your therapist tailors these to your specific challenges.

Here at Fettle, we connect you with therapists experienced in treating ADHD. Our matching process considers your specific needs and challenges to find the right therapist for you. All our therapists are fully accredited and deliver therapy via secure video sessions.
