CBT Therapy for ADHD Adults
What is ADHD in Adults?
If you have ADHD, you may feel easily overwhelmed or stressed with life’s daily tasks and challenges. You may find yourself easily distracted, forgetful or disorganized, and that it can be difficult to control your impulses, or manage your emotions. These feelings can be very frustrating and can lead to stress, low mood, or anxiety.
ADHD is a condition that affects executive function. Executive function is a set of cognitive skills that help us plan, organize, and complete tasks. Adults with ADHD may have difficulty with time management, task completion, and decision-making. This can lead to problems at work, in relationships, and in other areas of life.
But while ADHD can be a real challenge, there are also many positives. Neurodivergent adults with ADHD are often highly creative and have a unique perspective on the world. They may also be very successful in their chosen field and bring energy, hyperfocus and spontaneity to their creative projects.

How can CBT Therapy Help?
If you are an adult who has been diagnosed with ADHD, you may be wondering if CBT therapy can help. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a type of talk therapy that can be very helpful for neurodivergent people with ADHD.
CBT therapy can help you learn how to better cope with navigating a world that wasn’t built for your brain. The goal of CBT is to help you understand how your emotions, thoughts and behaviours impact your life. CBT psychotherapy helps you to identify vicious cycles that hold you back from doing things in life that are important to you.
