ADHD Counselling in Kamloops and Online

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, often known as ADHD, affects how a person focuses, organizes tasks, and manages impulses and energy.

While ADHD is often identified in childhood, many people continue to experience symptoms into adulthood, sometimes without realizing the impact until work, relationships, or daily routines feel harder than they need to be.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD can look different for everyone. Some people struggle to stay on task or keep things organized, while others experience restlessness or impulsive tendencies. Adults with ADHD may feel easily overstimulated or overwhelmed, while youth with ADHD may have difficulty with school demands or regulating emotions. These challenges can affect confidence and leave many people feeling frustrated or misunderstood.

With the right support, individuals can learn to understand their symptoms, reduce stress, and build practical skills that help them feel more grounded in their daily lives here in Kamloops and throughout British Columbia.
