ADULT ADHD
ADHD Coaching for Adults: Rory has personal experience with a loved one who has Adult ADHD. He understands how attention deficit disorder affects personal growth, organizational skills, confidence, relationships, and marriages. The intention is to create new thinking habits and learn stress reduction and communication skills. Clients learn to break habits that often lead to poor time management and organizational skills, low self-esteem, and neglect of their needs. Through CBT and coaching, clients gain control of their home and work, stop self criticism, and heal relationships. A client-centred approach remains open to your personal style and sense of timing to move past fear and frustration. Tools to deal with anxiety, anger management, stress reduction, and for resolution of conflict.
Doctors agree that stress management strategies and coaching is effective supplement to medications. Rory helps people with these issues and more.
