Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a condition that affects how you focus, organise, and manage tasks. If you have ADHD, you might find it challenging to maintain attention, stay organized, and control impulses, which can impact various aspects of your life. Whether you’re struggling with focus at work, managing daily responsibilities, or maintaining relationships, understanding ADHD is the first step toward finding effective support and strategies. Our team is here to help you navigate these challenges and enhance your overall wellbeing.

-
Low Self-Esteem: Struggling with focus and organisation can lead to feelings of inadequacy

Anxiety and Stress: Difficulty managing tasks and deadlines can lead to constant worry and self-critical thoughts
-
Depression: Feeling overwhelmed or constantly falling short of expectations can contribute to sadness or a lack of motivation.
