ADHD Counselling in Maple Ridge, BC

Living with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can feel frustrating, exhausting, and confusing - especially if you have spent years being told to try harder or be more disciplined.

ADHD can affect attention, task initiation, emotional regulation, impulse control, and follow-through. Many adults carry not only the practical challenges of ADHD, but also layers of shame, self-criticism, and stress that have built up over time.

Therapy offers space to understand how your nervous system works, reduce secondary overwhelm, and develop sustainable ways of working with your strengths.

What ADHD Can Feel Like

ADHD may show up as:

  • difficulty starting or finishing tasks

  • chronic procrastination despite good intentions

  • distractibility or hyperfocus

  • emotional intensity or rapid mood shifts

  • sensitivity to rejection or criticism

You may function well in many areas while privately feeling scattered, behind, or hard on yourself.

ADHD & Stress

Over time, repeated criticism, misunderstanding, or pressure to perform can intensify anxiety and erode self-trust. When stress builds, focus and regulation often becomes even harder.

Part of our work may involve untangling the stress and shame the have accumulated around ADHD, not just the symptoms themselves.

ADHD & Identity

Many adults with ADHD have developed internal narratives about being lazy, inconsistent, too much, or not enough.

Therapy can support you in reshaping that narrative, strengthening self-compassion, and building systems that align with ow your brain actually works, rather than forcing yourself into models that don’t fit.

A Regulation-Focused Approach

At Healing Quest Counselling, ADHD counselling is practical and trauma-informed. Depending on your needs, therapy may include:

  • nervous system regulation strategies

  • parts-based work for internal criticism or avoidance

  • EMDR for unresolved experiences of shame or relational injury

  • support with pacing, boundaries, and sustainable structure

In ADHD counselling our goal is to reduce the overwhelm, increase clarity, and build a steadier self-trust.
