You’re halfway through chatting with your partner about their workday when all of sudden – Hang on did I forget to get the groceries out of the car? What’s that beeping sound? Where is the dog? Oops I better come back to the conversation – oh dear they’re giving me that look again! They can tell I’ve been distracted. If you, or your partner, have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) this scenario might feel very familiar.

ADHD can make relationships tremendously thrilling and occasionally frustrating, often all rolled into one! With the right strategies, you can both turn the chaos into connection.

In couples therapy, the therapist acts like a helpful coach or teacher. They are
neutral, supportive, and skillful at guiding you through tough conversations.
Instead of getting in the way, they help you move forward together with more
clarity, connection, and understanding.

Gottman Institute research shows that couples wait an average of six years before seeking help, often after negative patterns have become ingrained. Starting couples therapy as early as possible leads to better outcomes, as there's less damage to repair and more capacity for empathy, change, and connection.

There’s often a misunderstanding that couples therapy is only for relationships in acute trouble such as when trust is shattered, communication has completely broken down, or separation feels as though it might be looming. And yes, while therapy is incredibly valuable during these times of crisis, it’s equally effective (and research actually shows it is more impactful), before things in the relationship reach that point.

When your relationship starts to feel tumultuous or as if the two of you are drifting away from each other again, working out what you need and where to seek help can feel overwhelming. One of the biggest questions people face is whether to seek help together through couples therapy, or to work on things individually through personal therapy.

After moving homes from GP
And settling into perfect little BP
The birthdays of forty-six
Were mostly spent out in the sticks

Outback Queensland, red dirt chasing
Cows, dates, The Great Artesian Basin
Fury rescue, cotton fields day on day
Ratchet strapping, "emu" you heard me say

Sun, moon and starlight gazing
Twin moo moos and mumma grazing
Tropical fruit platter tasting
Eighteen years later, memory creating

Coke bottles, a honey bear or two
Only the "best" selection for you
Horse mustering, dolphin swimming
Off grid living, no phones pinging

DVD nights in camper trailer
Most cosy sleeps in Stockman Rover
Catalina in Parable of the Sower
The intrigue continues...still no closer

Travelled wherever the road took us
Simple living, no stress, no fuss
Happiness followed us this whole trip through
Our hearts in sync, just me and you
