ADHD and the reset approach

what is adhd?

Living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms often means navigating a mind that feels like it’s running at full speed in every direction. It’s not just about being easily distracted, overly energetic, or impulsive—it’s the constant struggle to keep up with expectations, stay organized, and manage the emotional weight of feeling misunderstood.

ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people wrestle most with focus and organization, while others find hyperactivity or impulsivity at the forefront—or experience a mix of both. For many, daily life can feel like a storm of unfinished tasks, strained relationships, and relentless self-doubt.

But ADHD isn’t just a problem to solve—it’s a unique way of experiencing the world. When understood and supported, it can bring creativity, resilience, and a spark that helps you see possibilities others might miss.

understanding adhd through a holistic lens

Traditional ADHD treatments, like medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help—but they often don’t address the whole person. ADHD isn’t just about the mind; it also affects the body, emotions, and nervous system in profound ways.

The RESET Model (Reprocessing Emotions &cognitions through Somatic and environmental therapy) approaches ADHD as more than a diagnosis. It’s a dynamic interaction of biology, environment, and lived experience. Often, ADHD exists alongside challenges like trauma, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation, which is why we believe in addressing these layers together. By understanding the full picture, we aim to help you unlock your strengths and navigate life with greater ease.

the reset approach to adhd

Our innovative model integrates physical and mental health in a way that empowers clients to harness their strengths while addressing the challenges of ADHD. Here’s how:

1. A Collaborative and Compassionate Approach

ADHD can often feel isolating and shameful. The RESET model helps create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences without fear of judgment. Through individual therapy, workshops, and somatic practices, we guide clients toward greater self-compassion and understanding, helping them break free from cycles of shame and self-criticism.

2. Tailored Strategies for Executive Functioning (planning/ organisation)

Organizing, planning, and following through on tasks can be some of the biggest challenges with ADHD. Instead of offering generic solutions, we work collaboratively to create personalized tools and strategies.

By combining psychological and somatic interventions, we help clients develop systems tailored to their unique needs. This might include mindfulness-based time management techniques, body-based grounding practices, or reframing challenges as opportunities for growth.

3. Somatic Interventions to Calm the Nervous System

ADHD often leaves the nervous system in a heightened state of arousal, contributing to restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty focusing.

The RESET Model helps activate the vagus nerve and promote a state of calm. Over time, these practices help clients regulate their emotions and responses, creating a more stable foundation for daily life.

4. The Role of Movement, physical and experiential activity

Movement is essential for managing ADHD, as it supports dopamine regulation, focus, and overall well-being.

The RESET model integrates accessible options like strength training, mindful movement, and active recovery exercises. These practices not only helps manage ADHD symptoms but also promote clarity, confidence, and stress relief in ways that feel sustainable and enjoyable.

5. Community and Connection

The journey of understanding ADHD can feel isolating. Many clients describe a deep sense of “otherness” or fear of judgment.

Our programs emphasise creating safe spaces for connection. Through workshops and collaborative sessions, clients learn from others’ experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and shared growth.

a personalised path to fulfilment

ADHD isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and neither is our approach. The RESET model empowers clients to take control of their story.

We don’t just help people manage ADHD symptoms—we help them discover their unique strengths and potential, reframing ADHD as a gift rather than a burden.
