This is a common concern, and it is something ADHD-informed therapy plans for from the start. Forgetting appointments or struggling with consistency is not a personal failing.

MoonSage Psychology’s approach supports ADHD brains by offering:

• Helpful reminders that actually work for you. (e.g. relational emails sent 24hrs before your appointment, Jane email and/or text reminders).

• Flexible rescheduling when symptoms interfere (e.g. moving to a virtual appointment or rescheduling 48hrs ahead).

• Understanding, not judgment, when life happens.

Many people worry they will drift away from therapy. The difference here is that you are not carrying the structure alone. Your therapist helps maintain continuity, track progress, and gently re-engage when momentum slips.

Many people with ADHD have tried therapy that was not designed for how their brain works. Traditional approaches often rely on memory, consistency, and willpower, which can make therapy feel frustrating or ineffective.

ADHD-informed therapy works differently:

• Support and accountability are built in, rather than expecting follow-through on your own.

• Strategies are tailored to ADHD patterns, not generic productivity advice.

• Emotional regulation and sensitivity are addressed, not just attention or focus.

• Sessions are flexible, allowing movement, tangents, and shifts in attention.

Just as importantly, this work acknowledges the emotional impact of living with ADHD, including years of self-blame, burnout, late recognition, and strain on relationships. Symptoms like anxiety or low mood often make more sense when ADHD is understood as part of the picture.

You did not fail at therapy. You may simply not have had support that was aligned with your neurodevelopmental needs.

No. You don’t need paperwork to begin getting support. Many adults, especially women, go years without a diagnosis despite clear ADHD patterns.

I meet you where you are, whether you are:

• Self-diagnosed after your own research.

• Curious but unsure if you have ADHD.

• Professionally diagnosed.

• Waiting for a formal assessment.

You don’t have to wait for a medical system or formal paperwork to start feeling relief. Your experiences are valid, and therapy can help now.

ADHD counselling is designed for how your brain works, not how a neurotypical brain works. Traditional therapy often assumes you can remember insights, follow through consistently, and “just try harder,” which can feel frustrating if you have ADHD.

ADHD-informed therapy focuses on:

• Practical strategies tailored to ADHD, not generic advice.

• Support for attention, motivation, and executive function.

• Emotional regulation and sensitivity alongside focus or productivity.

• Flexible sessions that allow movement, tangents, and natural shifts in attention.

It’s about treating the whole picture. Not just anxiety, low mood, or focus problems, but the ways ADHD shapes your life, habits, and relationships.

The result: therapy that works with your brain, not against it.

No — we do both. ADHD isn’t only about productivity, it’s about the emotional impact too.

Along with practical strategies to manage focus, time, and organization, we also work together to address:

• Grief over missed opportunities or a life you wish had been different.

• Shame from years of feeling “not enough”.

• Relationship struggles from rejection sensitivity.

• Identity confusion from masking and trying to fit in.

Coping skills alone can only go so far. ADHD often leaves real emotional wounds that need attention.

Our approach combines healing and strategy.

You’ll learn tools to manage executive challenges while processing the emotional toll ADHD has taken. Fixing one side without the other rarely sticks — when you heal emotionally, the strategies work better, and when your symptoms improve, emotional healing becomes easier too.

Yes — and for many clients, it can work even better than in-person sessions. Online therapy allows you to regulate, focus, and participate in ways that suit your brain.

Benefits include:

• Comfort and flexibility – fidget, pace, doodle, or move freely

• No commute stress – reduce anxiety about being late

• Control of your environment – lighting, temperature, background

• Pet support – animals can help with regulation

• Movement freedom – stand, stretch, or use a walking pad.

Online therapy reduces overwhelm while maintaining connection. Even when leaving the house is difficult, therapy still happens, and your brain gets the support it needs.

You don’t have to sit still. ADHD therapy does not expect neurotypical behaviour, and movement is part of regulation, not disrespect.

During sessions, you are free to:

• Stand, pace, or walk while talking.

• Use fidgets, stress balls, or therapy putty.

• Doodle, colour, or take breaks as needed.

• Sit on a yoga ball or floor, whatever helps you focus.

Many clients even complete sessions while:

• Walking on treadmills.

• Stretching or doing gentle movement.

• Organizing their space.

Your body’s need to move helps your mind settle. In ADHD therapy, we work with your nervous system, not against it.

The only “wrong” way is forcing yourself to act like someone you’re not.
