ADHD Support & Executive Functioning

ADHD-informed counselling and executive-function coaching for teens and adults. We help you build systems that actually work for your brain, not against it.

How Wellness Talks Can Help

ADHD is not a character flaw. It is a neurotype — and the world is not always built for it. At Wellness Talks Health Centre, we offer ADHD-informed therapy that combines psychoeducation, skills-based coaching, and emotional support.

Our counsellors work with newly diagnosed adults, long-diagnosed clients looking to refine their tools, teens navigating school and identity, and parents of neurodivergent kids who want to understand their own overlapping traits.

We focus on executive function skills (time management, task initiation, working memory, emotional regulation), identity work (rejection sensitivity, shame, masking), and practical strategies for work, relationships, and home life.

Our approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), skills training, and psychoeducation. We also use nervous-system regulation techniques because ADHD rarely shows up alone — anxiety, burnout, and chronic overwhelm often come with it.

We are neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and unafraid to talk about what actually works. Sessions are offered in person in Downtown Vancouver and virtually across BC.

How it Works

Your first session is a chance to tell us what has been happening and what you want to be different. Your counsellor will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and — together with you — shape the work from there.

Sessions are 50 minutes for individuals and 60–80 minutes for couples and families. Most clients see their counsellor weekly or bi-weekly at first, with spacing lengthening as things settle. Pacing is collaborative: you are never pushed beyond what your nervous system can hold.

Between sessions, your counsellor may suggest simple practices to try at home — journalling prompts, conversations to have, grounding exercises, or readings. Nothing is mandatory; everything is offered.

Specialized Support Includes

  • ADHD Management
  • Executive Function Skills
  • Time Management
  • Emotional Regulation

Why it Works — Evidence-Based Approaches

We use therapies with strong research backing — chosen to fit you, not the other way around. Your counsellor will explain the rationale for what they suggest, and adjust based on what moves the needle for you.

  • CBT
  • Skills Training
  • Psychoeducation
