Victoria, BC ADHD Counselling Services

ADHD can feel like a whirlwind of scattered thoughts and restless energy, making it challenging to stay organized, focused, or in control—not only in your daily tasks but also in your relationships. It’s not just a set of difficulties—it’s a unique aspect of how your brain works. While ADHD can lead to challenges like inconsistent attention or impulsive reactions, it also brings strengths, creativity, and the potential for dynamic problem-solving. Together, we’ll explore how ADHD affects your life, including early influences or family dynamics that may have shaped your coping strategies, so we can develop practical tools tailored to your needs.

I'm Alan Rice, a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Victoria and Sooke, specializing in helping individuals understand, manage, and overcome the challenges associated with ADHD. Through counselling, we’ll delve into the specific ways ADHD impacts you, gain insight into your unique patterns, and build effective strategies to channel your energy, improve organization, and enhance your focus and confidence.

How Do You Know If ADHD Is Impacting Your Life?

ADHD isn’t solely about hyperactivity or inattentiveness—it can influence many aspects of daily living:

  • Difficulty maintaining focus on tasks or conversations

  • Struggles with organization and time management (executive function)

  • Impulsivity that sometimes leads to hasty decisions

  • Challenges with completing tasks or following through on plans

  • Difficulties with emotional regulation, leading to rapid mood shifts or intense feelings

  • Heightened sensitivity to criticism or perceived rejection (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria)

If these experiences resonate with you, know that you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate them by yourself.

How Therapy Can Help

Counselling provides a supportive space to understand and manage the unique challenges of ADHD. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and practical coping strategies to help you:

  • ✅ Build organizational skills and boost confidence in handling daily tasks

  • ✅ Develop personalized strategies to manage impulsivity and improve time management

  • ✅ Explore the origins of your ADHD tendencies, including family dynamics and early coping strategies, to foster healthier habits

  • ✅ Harness your unique strengths to thrive both personally and professionally

Whether you’re dealing with challenges at work, school, or home, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right, empowering you to make lasting, positive changesin your life.
