Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for ADHD
for ADHD
CBT adapted for ADHD focuses on practical executive function skills — planning, time management, organisation, and emotional regulation — rather than thought challenging.
How it works
Builds compensatory strategies for executive function deficits. Reduces secondary anxiety and depression that commonly develop alongside ADHD. Provides structured problem-solving for ADHD-specific challenges.
What to watch for
Most effective as an adjunct to medication in adults. Requires an ADHD-trained therapist. Results vary — ADHD CBT is skills-focused, not insight-focused, which suits some more than others.
