Living with ADHD can feel like your brain has a mind of its own - thoughts bouncing around, focus slipping away just when you need it most. 🧠
But here's the thing: your ADHD brain isn't broken. It just works differently. And with the right strategies and support, you can work WITH your brain instead of against it.
Small changes can make a huge difference:
✅ Breaking big tasks into bite-sized pieces
✅ Using timers and visual reminders
✅ Celebrating every small win
✅ Being patient with yourself on tough days
You don't have to figure this out alone. Our counsellors understand ADHD and can help you develop strategies that actually work for YOUR unique brain.

Great advice from Inside Parenting!

Feelings aren’t the problem.
They’re natural. Necessary. Human.

Anger, sadness, fear, frustration — they’re all valid. And our children need to know that.

But that doesn’t mean every behaviour that comes WITH those feelings is okay…

Throwing things, hurting others, shutting down — these are signals, not solutions.

Our job isn’t to shut the feelings down.
It’s to teach our children what to do with them.
To help them name what’s rising inside.
To set clear boundaries around what’s not okay.
And to guide them toward healthier ways of expressing what’s hard to hold.

Because emotional honesty and self-regulation can coexist.
We can teach both.

Validate the feeling.
Redirect the behaviour.
That’s where the growth happens. ❤️

Ever notice how stress in your mind shows up as tension in your shoulders? Or how anxiety sits heavy in your chest?
Your mind, body, and emotions aren't separate systems – they're deeply connected. When one is struggling, it affects everything else.
That's why our therapy is holistic. We don't just talk about what's happening in your head. We work with the whole you – understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations all influence each other.
Real healing happens when we address the connections, not just the symptoms.
Find your balance at Hartington Centre. Experienced holistic therapy in Northcote.

Medicare rebates for counselling = confusing! 🤓
Quick reality check: Yes, some of our services get Medicare rebates, others don't. But plot twist – the out-of-pocket difference can be tiny!
Don't assume rebated = cheaper. Compare the actual dollars YOU'D pay, then pick the best therapist for you.
Call us for the real numbers (decoder glasses not included). 9482 1888 😎

Adulting is exhausting.
It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to ask for help.
