ADHD Therapy for Adults, Children and Families
Helping you make sense of ADHD in a way that feels grounded and manageable
Living with ADHD can feel like moving through the world with a mind that works beautifully but differently. Many people come to us feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or worn down by years of trying to keep up. Others arrive with a quiet sense that something hasn’t quite fitted, even without a diagnosis. However you come to us, you are welcome here. This page connects with all of our ADHD‑focused support, including ADHD therapy for adults, ADHD for children, ADHD therapy for couples, ADHD family therapy, ADHD support for emotional regulation, ADHD support for organisation and daily life, ADHD support for identity and self‑esteem and ADHD support for sleep and rest.
ADHD therapy helps individuals and families manage symptoms like focus issues, impulsivity and emotional outbursts. It combines coaching, behavioural skills training and family counselling to create structured, supportive environments for adults, children and households. Therapy can be offered in person in York, throughout Yorkshire, online across the UK or by telephone if that feels more accessible.
Many people arrive with questions such as what type of therapy is best for ADHD, what help is available for adults with ADHD, what kind of therapy is best for ADHD kids, what actually helps ADHD and ADHD therapist near me. These are human questions, and therapy gives you space to explore them with compassion and clarity.
Finding an ADHD therapist
Finding the right ADHD therapist can make a significant difference. Many people are looking for someone who understands ADHD beyond the stereotypes and recognises how it can affect relationships, emotional regulation, self-esteem, daily life and sleep.
At Supportive Counselling Ltd, our neurodivergent-affirming therapists support adults, children, adolescents and families in York, throughout Yorkshire, through in-person sessions. We also provide online and telephone ADHD therapy anywhere in the UK, making support accessible wherever you are based. We offer support for people exploring a diagnosis, adjusting to a recent diagnosis or seeking practical and emotional support for life with ADHD.
Therapy that understands your brain
At Supportive Counselling Ltd, we work in a way that honours the way your mind works. You are not asked to mask or push through. Sessions are paced gently and shaped around your needs. You can arrive as you are, without pressure to be organised or emotionally tidy. Our team includes therapists with lived experience and specialist training, and we offer a space where you can breathe out and feel understood. Many people begin here and then explore more focused support through pages such as ADHD therapy for adults or ADHD support for emotional regulation.
Psychoeducation is a core part of this work. It helps you deeply understand how ADHD affects your brain so you can make informed decisions about your care, your routines and the support that feels right for you.
What people often bring to therapy
People seek support for emotional intensity, burnout, identity, relationships, sleep, self‑esteem and the impact of growing up without the right understanding around them. Therapy offers a calm place to explore these experiences without judgement. Together we look at what supports you, what drains you and what helps you feel more grounded. Many people describe a sense of relief when they realise they no longer need to explain or justify their way of being. You can explore these themes further through our pages on ADHD support for identity and self‑esteem and ADHD support for organisation and daily life.
ADHD therapy often includes structured skills work, gentle coaching and practical strategies that help you manage focus, transitions, overwhelm and daily life. These approaches are adapted to your nervous system rather than forcing you into routines that don’t fit.
Support for couples and families
ADHD can also affect communication, emotional regulation and shared responsibilities within intimate relationships. Our ADHD Therapy for Couples service provides neuro-affirming support for couples who want to understand these patterns together.
Relationships can feel strained when ADHD is part of the picture. Misunderstandings, communication differences and emotional overwhelm are common and workable. Couples therapy helps both partners understand each other more deeply and find steadier ways of relating. Families often come to us for similar reasons. When ADHD affects the rhythm of home life, having space to talk openly can make a significant difference. You can read more about this in ADHD therapy for couples and ADHD family therapy, which explore these dynamics in more depth.
For families, parent training can be part of the work. It teaches parents how to set clear rules, use positive rewards and reduce stress in the home. Family therapy helps everyone understand how ADHD impacts behaviour. This prevents household arguments and builds teamwork, especially when siblings or multiple neurodivergent family members are involved.
Therapy in York, throughout Yorkshire, online and by telephone
You can work with us in our quiet, private York counselling room with free parking outside, by telephone or online from anywhere in the UK. Many people prefer online therapy because it removes the pressure of travel, sensory environments or rigid schedules. We offer sessions seven days a week, including evenings, so you can choose what feels manageable. Telephone sessions are available if that feels easier or more accessible. People often move between in‑person and online support, especially when working on areas like emotional regulation, identity or sleep.
Support for sleep and rest
Sleep difficulties are common for people with ADHD. Many describe racing thoughts, irregular sleep patterns or difficulty winding down. Therapy helps you understand your patterns and build approaches that work with your nervous system. You can explore this further through ADHD support for sleep and rest, which looks at sleep challenges in more depth.
A gentle first step
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, especially if you have had difficult experiences in the past. We take things at your pace. You can start with a simple conversation to see whether it feels right. There is no pressure to commit. Our role is to offer a space where you feel supported, understood and able to settle. Many people begin here and then explore more focused support through our pages on ADHD therapy for adults, ADHD for children, ADHD therapy for couples, ADHD family therapy, ADHD support for emotional regulation, ADHD support for organisation and daily life, ADHD support for identity and self‑esteem and ADHD support for sleep and rest.
Many people who access our ADHD services also find it helpful to explore our broader Neurodivergence Therapy service, which supports adults, children, couples and families with a range of neurodivergent experiences including ADHD, autism and related differences in thinking, processing and experiencing the world.

FAQ's
Who is sleep therapy for?
Sleep therapy is helpful for anyone experiencing ongoing difficulties with rest, whether that’s trouble falling asleep, waking frequently, or feeling unrefreshed. People often begin by searching for insomnia treatment, sleep therapists, or a sleep consultant UK when they’re unsure where to turn.
Support may include sleep relaxation strategies, CBT for insomnia treatment, or guidance from a therapist for sleep disorders. These approaches can be especially useful if you’ve already tried self‑help methods or general sleep services without success.
If you’ve been looking for private sleep support, a sleep consultant, or a sleep expert near me, sleep therapy offers a personalised, evidence‑based way to understand your sleep patterns and make meaningful, lasting changes.
What happens in the free consultation chat?
During the free consultation chat, we talk about what has made you consider counselling and what you’re hoping to get from support. This helps us understand whether counselling feels right for you and which approach may suit you best. You’re welcome to ask as many questions as you like, and there’s no pressure to book a session straight away. You can take your time to think things over and decide at your own pace.
Do you offer counselling in York and across the UK?
Yes. We offer face‑to‑face counselling in York city‑centre space, as well as online and telephone support across the UK. People attend from York and nearby areas, including Goole, Harrogate, Malton, Selby, Pocklington, Tadcaster, Leeds and Easingwold, as well as clients from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our York location is ground‑floor, accessible and sensory‑considerate.
