Have you previously gone through unsuccessful therapy before you understood how all-encompassing your ADHD has been during your life?

If you are discouraged about therapy, I'm delighted to offer you this hugely validating workshop from Dr Hannah Cullen, an experienced counselling psychologist specialising in ADHD therapy. Hannah shares her journey into ADHD treatment, highlighting the high prevalence of ADHD in her practice and the importance of combining medication with tailored therapeutic interventions embracing self-compassion and self-acceptance.

She explores the deep emotional pain felt by many with ADHD – such as shame, loneliness and fear – and how therapy can be a vital tool in healing these wounds.

A doctor of counselling psychology, with a master’s degree in health psychology, Hannah is professionally trained and skilled in various therapeutic approaches.

During this episode with Dr Hannah Cullen, we focus on:

• The importance of a personalised, evidence-based approach to ADHD therapy. Many of us with ADHD experience core emotional pains such as shame, loneliness, and fear.

• How therapy can help us confront our inner critic and promote healing through self-compassion.

• The unique challenges ADHD presents in different life stages.

• How building assertiveness and setting boundaries are essential skills for those with ADHD.

• The need for a supportive therapeutic relationship to address unmet emotional needs.

• Understanding core emotional pain: the shame, loneliness and fear that accompany ADHD.

• Transforming ADHD therapy by embracing self-compassion and assertiveness.

• Confronting your inner critic and promoting healing and growth.

• Embracing personalised, evidence-based approaches in ADHD therapy.

  PLUS, we share another exclusive clip from our Ask the Psych with Dr. Asad Raffi, in which we break down some myths around ADHD and discuss helpful parenting strategies. Discover why it’s important to create structure, allow natural consequences, and avoid over-compensating so kids can build resilience and adapt to challenges.
