ADHD Treatment Group for

Adult Diagnosed Men

6-Week Therapy Course

Tuesday 5:30-7:30pm

2nd June through 7th July 2026

The Psychology Hub, Riccarton

Who would benefit from this group?

This group is designed to support men who have recently discovered their ADHD in

adulthood and are navigating what that means for them now.

It may be especially meaningful if you:

  • Have built success by relying on perfectionism, people-pleasing, determination, or

    overcompensation, but find those strategies are no longer sustainable.

  • Feel the weight of exhaustion, overwhelm, or burnout and are ready for a healthier

    way forward.

  • Struggle with emotional dysregulation and/or rejection sensitivity that you want to explore in a safe space

What makes this course different?

This course goes beyond surface-level strategies and focuses on the secondary experiences of living undiagnosed with ADHD into adulthood

  • It acknowledges the compensatory strategies, perfectionism, overachievement,

    people-pleasing, that may have helped you succeed, but often at the cost of your

    wellbeing.

  • This course recognises the expectation that society places on men to be unemotional and strong, whilst also living with ADHD that does not always align with those expectations.

  • This is not a course of quick tips or “life hacks.” We know you’ve been managing the basics for years. Instead, we focus on the secondary experiences, burnout, relationships, shame, over-achievement to fulfil identity.

  • Connection to others with shared experiences is important. Holding space for naming experiences with individuals with similar experiences. In-person group work, and an optional online space for continued shared learning, reflections and resources.

What this course will cover:

Together, we’ll dive into the unique experiences of women with ADHD, with a focus on

understanding, reframing, and reshaping the challenges that often emerge after a later

diagnosis:

  • Making sense of a late diagnosis – unpacking the impact of discovering ADHD in

    adulthood.

  • Compensation and socialisation – exploring how neurodivergent men are labelled and the expectations of society which impact on regulation, identity, connection and life balance.

  • Relationships and connection – recognising common patterns and learning how to

    shift dynamics in healthier directions.

  • Emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity – building awareness and strategies for navigating intense feelings.

  • Burnout and overwhelm – identifying the cycles that affect high-achieving men and creating ways to prevent and recover from them.

Course Details (and don’t worry – we’ll remind you of these!)

Held at The Psychology Hub

Riccarton

Christchurch.

Sessions run on Tuesday evenings,

5:30-7:30pm,

from 2nd June through 7th July 2026

Group App Access: You’ll also have the option of using a private group app, designed to enrich your experience.

Through it, you can:

  • Note down questions for upcoming sessions

  • Respond to facilitator prompts that help personalise group discussions

  • Connect with other participants between sessions

  • Share any challenges with between-session work

  • Access extra resources and practical tools shared by the therapists

INVESTMENT

The cost is $75 per hour, totalling $900 (GST inclusive) for 12 hours of group therapy across six weeks.

To put that in perspective, this is similar in cost to
just 4.5 hours of individual therapy – and offers a much more dynamic, supportive group experience.

Payment Options: We’re happy to talk through weekly payment plans in the lead-up to the course if that makes things easier.

I have been providing ADHD assessments

and therapy for neurodivergent clients, including through the ACC Sensitive Claims Service

and within the justice system.

I am currently establishing an assessment clinic for adults in North Canterbury. My background also includes clinical research with the University of Canterburys Mental Health and Nutrition Research Group, where I conducted assessments

with children undergoing treatment for ADHD.

In addition to clinical work, I supervise other

neurodivergent clients.
