Common Signs of ADHD
in Children and Adults
Trouble focusing or finishing tasks
Poor time management or procrastination
Emotional reactivity or frequent burnout
A lifetime of underachievement despite potential
Difficulties with organisation, planning, or follow-through
Heightened sensitivity to criticism or rejection
These signs can look different in each person and may shift over time. In children, ADHD might also show up as restlessness, impulsivity, or difficulty focusing in school.
How Psychotherapeutic Counselling Helps
At Self Re-Rooted, psychotherapeutic counselling for ADHD is compassionate, practical, and grounded. I work with children and adults who are formally diagnosed, self-identified, or simply beginning to explore the possibility of ADHD.
Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to:
Recognise and work with your unique brain patterns
Reduce shame, stress, and self-criticism
Build emotional regulation, self-trust, and sustainable routines
Reframe the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What do I need?”
A Tailored Approach
I integrate techniques from CBT, coaching, and mindfulness, alongside person-centred and family systems approaches, adapted to your pace and preferences. Every session is collaborative — whether you’re looking for structure, deeper insight, or simply a space to feel understood.
Sessions are available online internationally or in person in Lisbon
Do I Need a Diagnosis?
No. Many clients — children, adults, or parents — come without a formal diagnosis. You’re welcome to explore counselling here, whether you’re certain about ADHD or just curious about how support might help.
