Is Therapy the Missing Piece in Managing Your ADHD?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to find the “right” therapist or wondered whether therapy can actually help with ADHD, this episode is for you.

This week, Katie and Sam are joined by psychotherapist Clare Patterson to unpack what therapy can offer people with ADHD- from tackling emotional overwhelm and low self-esteem to finding the right therapeutic fit. Together, they explore how therapy can unpick years of internalised shame, why finding the right approach (and therapist) matters, and how certain types of therapy are more ADHD-friendly than others.

Plus, Clare breaks down the different types of therapy (including CBT, DBT and integrative approaches), shares practical tips on what to look for when choosing a therapist, and explains how therapy can build resilience, self-acceptance and emotional regulation over time.

Whether you’ve been in therapy for years, are looking for the right place to start, or feel unsure whether it’s right for you, this episode offers real clarity and guidance.
