ADHD Counselling Calgary
At Solasta Counselling, we offer compassionate ADHD counselling in Calgary to help you navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and personal growth.
What Is ADHD Counselling Calgary?
ADHD counselling in Calgary is a collaborative, one-on-one process designed to help you understand how ADHD impacts your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Sessions focus on building practical tools for focus, time management, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. In a safe and confidential space, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your experiences and develop strategies that make everyday challenges more manageable.
At Solasta, our therapists, including psychologists, registered social workers, and counsellors, use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and narrative therapy. Each plan is personalized to your needs and goals, supporting you in creating meaningful changes at school, work, and home.
What Does ADHD Counselling Entail?
At Solasta, we tailor ADHD counselling sessions to address challenges such as focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation, empowering you with practical tools to create meaningful change.
The counselling journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to:

FAQs
Are ADD and ADHD the same thing?
Yes. ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is an older term that used to describe what is now called ADHD, Inattentive Presentation. Today, professionals use ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) as the umbrella term, with three presentations: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and combined.
Is ADHD a form of Autism?
No. ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are separate conditions, but they share some overlapping traits, such as challenges with attention, executive functioning, or social interactions. Some people may have both ADHD and Autism, but they are diagnosed and treated differently.
What type of counselling is best for ADHD?
Counselling approaches that help with ADHD often include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), skills-based coaching, and psychoeducation about how ADHD affects daily life. Therapy can support better organization, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills.
Is counselling helpful for ADHD?
Yes. Counselling can be very effective in helping people with ADHD understand their challenges, build coping strategies, and improve self-confidence. While medication can address core symptoms, counselling offers practical tools for managing school, work, relationships, and day-to-day tasks.
