What it can look like.

ADHD affects about 6 to 10 in every 100 Australian children and teenagers (Australian ADHD Guideline, 2022). It shapes how they focus, manage emotions and get through daily routines. ADHD isn’t laziness or a lack of effort, and many kids with ADHD are also creative, energetic problem-solvers.

  • Finding it hard to sit still or wait their turn
  • Drifting off mid-task or losing track of instructions
  • Big emotions that come on quickly
  • Struggling with routines, organisation or homework
  • Acting on impulse or interrupting others

ADHD isn’t a flaw. It’s a difference in how the brain develops.

How we approach ADHD

Our psychologists use approaches grounded in evidence, with practical tools that fit into everyday life at home and school.

  1. 1

    Understanding your child’s experience

    Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for your child, including how ADHD shows up at school, at home and with friends. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.

  2. 2

    Choosing an approach together

    Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit your child, then you agree on a plan together.

  3. 3

    Reviewing the plan together

    Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you and your child, using measures chosen for your child and what they’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.

What support can include
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Practises ways to manage impulses, handle emotions and think flexibly.
  • Executive function coaching Planning, organisation and finishing tasks, in ways that suit how your child learns.
  • Parent and family coaching Practical strategies for structure in daily routines, from mornings to homework.
  • Behavioural supports and social skills Working on focus, getting along with others and friendships.
  • Strengths-based identity work Helps kids see ADHD as one part of their story.

Behind your child's psychologist

Depth behind the person you see

Your child sees one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervisors on staff, and time set aside to keep up with the research.

  • Trained for the work in front of them

    Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.

  • Enough of us to match your child properly

    With 27 psychologists, we can put your child with someone who works with their age, what's going on, and how they like to work.

  • Keeping up, on purpose

    New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.

If something isn’t working.

Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.

  • Ask for a different psychologist

    We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else.

  • Talk it through with your psychologist

    Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.

  • Wondering about medication?

    If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP or paediatrician with what we’ve found, with your consent.

Before you book.

How does Unbound Minds support children with ADHD differently?

We focus on strengths first. Many children with ADHD are imaginative, energetic, and resourceful. By building on these qualities, we can teach skills in attention, organisation, and regulation in ways that feel natural and encouraging. Sessions are practical, playful, and always tailored to your child.

Do you work with parents as well as children?

Yes. ADHD doesn’t just affect the child, it affects the whole family. We work closely with parents on strategies for home life, from morning routines to managing homework. You’ll feel supported, not blamed.

How do I know if my child’s behaviour is ADHD or just being energetic?

Lots of kids are busy and full of energy. With ADHD, the difference is the persistence and impact on daily life, like difficulty focusing at school, big emotional reactions, or struggling to follow instructions. At Unbound Minds, we help parents understand patterns of behaviour and respond in ways that support learning and wellbeing.

My child struggles to sit still. How can I help them succeed at school?

Movement breaks, fidget tools, and alternative seating can help kids channel their energy without disrupting learning. We work with families and teachers to set up strategies that make classrooms more ADHD-friendly while keeping your child engaged and included.

What strengths should I nurture in my child with ADHD?

Children with ADHD are often creative thinkers, natural problem solvers and full of enthusiasm. We encourage parents to notice and nurture these qualities alongside the areas your child finds harder.
