What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more than just a buzzword – it’s a neurodevelopmental condition that can shape the way adults experience daily life. For many, ADHD means juggling challenges with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which can make time management, emotional regulation, and social interactions feel overwhelming.These are key areas where individuals with ADHD often experience challenges. But with the right support, these challenges can be transformed into opportunities for growth.
At our practice, our experienced clinical psychologists understand how deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects adults in unique ways. Through ADHD therapy and ADHD counselling services, we help you develop strategies to manage symptoms and thrive. Our approach often includes cognitive behavioural therapy, which is proven to support emotional regulation and improve mental health. Whether you’re looking to boost your focus, organise your day, or simply feel more in control, our psychologists are here to support you every step of the way.
Once you understand how ADHD can shape your day-to-day life, the next step is finding the kind of support that truly gets you – and that’s where our work begins.

Inital assessment and diagnosis
Getting started with ADHD support begins with a thorough initial assessment by a registered psychologist. This process is designed to be as comfortable and supportive as possible, giving you space to share your experiences and challenges. Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches to carefully review your medical history, symptoms, and behaviour patterns, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored just for you.
Tailored ADHD Therapy for Adults
We understand that not everyone fits the same mould. That’s why our ADHD therapy sessions are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of adults navigating the complexities of ADHD.
With targeted strategies, our experienced ADHD therapists help you enhance focus, manage impulsivity, and organise daily tasks more effectively. Using a combination of techniques, we provide personalised support that addresses not just the symptoms but the root causes of ADHD challenges. We aim to empower you with tools that make day-to-day living smoother and more fulfilling.
Thinking Creatively about ADHD Therapy
Our ADHD psychologists like to mix things up. Forget the traditional, stuffy mental health clinics; we’re here to revolutionise how therapy is perceived and delivered. By challenging outdated methods, we aim to shatter the mental health stigma and introduce fresh, innovative approaches. That’s why we bring our ADHD therapy services directly to you through our Telehealth options, allowing you to access care from anywhere.
We’re a forward-thinking psychology practice. Our Telehealth services connect you to ADHD therapy sessions with our expert Indigo practitioners from any location. We’re committed to ensuring you feel supported and comfortable at every stage of your journey.
Emotional Regulation and Management
Emotional regulation is a key area where ADHD therapy can make a profound impact. Many people with ADHD experience strong emotional responses that can feel overwhelming or difficult to manage, sometimes leading to challenges in relationships or daily routines. By working with a psychologist, you’ll receive evidence-based support to better understand your emotions and develop practical tools for managing them.
Therapy provides a safe space to explore emotional triggers and patterns, helping you build emotional insight and resilience. With the right support, you can learn healthier ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and even co-occurring conditions like depression. As you strengthen your emotional regulation skills, you’ll notice improvements in your mental health, communication, and overall wellbeing. This journey not only enhances your self-awareness but also empowers you to respond to life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and calm.
Feeling Supported Throughout the Process
Feeling supported is at the heart of effective ADHD therapy. At The Indigo Project, our psychologists create a non-judgmental, collaborative space where you can openly explore your experiences and challenges. You’ll be met with understanding, practical guidance, and evidence-based tools tailored to your everyday life.
Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms, it’s about strengthening self-esteem, building confidence, and creating habits that help you feel more grounded and in control. With the right support behind you, you can develop new skills, feel less isolated, and move through life with more clarity and ease. We’re here to walk alongside you at every step of your ADHD journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get diagnosed for ADHD?
It’s important to note that The Indigo Project does not currently offer ADHD assessments. An ADHD diagnosis is completed by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist who will explore your symptoms, history, strengths, and challenges through structured interviews or questionnaires. This helps determine how ADHD is affecting your daily life and what support you may need. Once diagnosed, treatment options like therapy can help you manage symptoms and improve overall functioning.
What causes ADHD?
ADHD doesn’t have one single cause — it’s influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors, and often runs in families. Research also shows differences in the brain areas responsible for attention, motivation, and emotional regulation. What’s important to know is that ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, too much screen time, or a lack of discipline. With the right support and understanding, people with ADHD can build rewarding, meaningful lives.
Does ADHD get worse with age?
ADHD doesn’t usually get worse with age, but its symptoms can show up differently as life becomes more demanding. Many adults notice challenges with organisation, emotional regulation, or focus, especially when managing work, relationships, or family responsibilities. Factors like stress, sleep issues, or chronic fatigue can make symptoms feel more intense. Therapy can help you build strategies that improve daily functioning and increase your sense of control.
How can The Indigo Project help with ADHD?
The Indigo Project supports adults with ADHD through practical, evidence-based therapy tailored to your strengths and challenges. Our psychologists help you manage overwhelm, improve focus, build routines, and navigate daily life with strategies that actually work for you. Sessions are personalised and collaborative so you feel understood and supported every step of the way. With online therapy available from anywhere, it’s easy to access the help you need.

Telehealth: About Therapy and Online Counselling
What can I expect from therapy? What is therapy like?
Every therapist is different and their therapeutic style and personalities are all unique. However, all of our Indigo practitioners will hold a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you, where you are free to be who you are. Your therapist is there to listen to you, guide you, and help you overcome life’s challenges.
Generally, you’ll spend the first session getting to know each other, talking about your history and what it is you’d like to work through. From your second session onwards, you’ll get to go deeper, peeling back the layers and all the while learning practical strategies to help you transform and grow.
At Indigo we encourage our clients to have at least 10-20 sessions, because we believe that therapy is a long-term journey of commitment, growth and investment in yourself. After seeing your therapist for a while, you may continue to book occasional check-in sessions as you feel more confident doing life with the knowledge and tools you have gained.
Who is online therapy for?
Everyone is welcome to attend online counselling or therapy with one of our practitioners at The Indigo Project.
Online counselling or therapy via Zoom is an accessible, safe and convenient option for those who are unable to attend face-to-face appointments, or simply prefer to meet online. Whether it be a busy schedule due to work and family, health-related reasons or distance, online counselling can help you.
What issues are suited for online therapy?
Our team of trained clinical psychologists, psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors attend to a range of common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues and more.

What if I can’t see the therapist I had in mind?
Our therapists typically have capacity to see several new clients each month. However these openings can get filled up fast from those who have been on a waitlist. If there is someone that you particularly want to see but is currently unavailable, we can place you on a waitlist until there is an opening.
If you prefer to attend an online counselling session sooner, our Therapy Matchmakers can help you find an alternative practitioner based on your needs and what you are looking to achieve in therapy.
Meeting a therapist for the first time can feel like a first date. If you don’t connect with your therapist on your first or second session, we’ll pair you with a new practitioner and your next session will be on the house* as part of our Perfect Match Promise.

Do I need to do anything before my first session?
We recommend setting up for your online therapy session 5-10 minutes before it commences. Make sure your computer or phone microphone and video is working, and that you are comfortable and ready to sit through your session uninterrupted.
There’s zero pressure to prepare anything for your first session but if you find it helpful, you can jot down some points about specific things you’d like to work on or discuss with your therapist.
Are my therapy sessions confidential?
Everything you discuss with your therapist here at Indigo is absolutely confidential, and will not be shared unless you or someone else is at risk of serious harm.
