About this Event
Getting Started is the first workshop in Living Well with ADHD, a four-week adult ADHD life skills series.
Knowing that something needs doing doesn’t always make it possible to start. This practical session explores why ADHD can make beginning tasks so difficult, even when they are important or relatively simple.
We’ll cover:
- ADHD motivation and task paralysis
- Why pressure, interest and urgency can affect our ability to act
- Procrastination, perfectionism and feeling overwhelmed
- Making tasks smaller, clearer and easier to begin
- Practical tools including timers, body doubling and external accountability
You’ll have time to consider where you regularly get stuck and create a realistic plan for one task you want to start.
About:
The workshop is led by Jennie Canty, a neurodivergent-specialist psychotherapist with both professional and lived experience of ADHD.
This is a friendly, practical session combining straightforward teaching, personal reflection and useful strategies. There is no pressure to speak or share personal information.
This workshop is for adults aged 18+. You do not need a formal ADHD diagnosis and are welcome if you are diagnosed, waiting for assessment or identify with ADHD traits.
This is an educational workshop rather than group therapy or individual clinical advice.
