How Psychology Services Can Help People With ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition that commonly affects children and adolescents. In Australia, this disorder is known to affect one in 20 people or roughly 1.2 million individuals.

Some of the most common symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Due to its effects on how people focus and respond to stimuli, ADHD can impact many aspects of their lives, such as their psychological well-being, academic progress, occupational performance, and daily living conditions.

Psychology Services for ADHD

Fortunately, there are accessible psychology services aimed at helping individuals with ADHD and their families cope with this disorder and overcome barriers to living a productive and healthy lifestyle. Some of these services are:

Diagnostic Assessments

When it comes to addressing ADHD, the first step is getting a proper diagnosis, which serves as the basis for proper and effective treatment. At The Personnel Group, we rely on trusted and proven psychology assessments available in Australia for kids, adolescents, and adults.

Through these assessments, which can be conducted at our clinics or via Telehealth (must be 16 years and over), we are able to provide holistic and personalised support specifically tailored to the needs and conditions of our clients.

Individual Therapy

Person-centred support through individual therapy is focused on helping people with ADHD recognise the symptoms of their condition as well as gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.

That’s why at The Personnel Group, our Health Team utilises evidence-based interventions during our individual counselling sessions to develop therapy plans aimed at helping people with ADHD reach their goals and restore their self-esteem and self-worth.

Family Support

For parents and families of children with ADHD, we provide support services aimed at helping them gain a deeper understanding of their child’s diagnosis. Part of this involves teaching them parenting strategies and other techniques focused on creating a supportive environment for their child at home.

Kids with ADHD can benefit a lot from family support programs as these teach parents and caregivers effective ways to manage and address the various symptoms of ADHD, such as by using positive reinforcement, creating structured routines at home, and setting clear expectations.

Behavioural Intervention

Behavioural intervention services can also help manage the symptoms of ADHD, such as hyperactivity, or the inability to stay still during certain situations. This can be achieved through positive reinforcement, which involves rewarding the appropriate behaviour to encourage it.

Aside from using a reward system, The Personnel Group’s behaviour intervention support also includes properly educating families so they can better understand and support their loved ones with ADHD. This can help reduce feelings of frustration by helping them cope with the behaviours of their loved ones.
