ADHD and Anxiety Counselling in Vancouver: How to Know When It’s Time to Get Support

Living with ADHD or anxiety can feel overwhelming—especially when it begins to affect work, school, relationships, or daily peace of mind. Many people in Vancouver search for answers online but aren’t sure where to start when it comes to professional support. If this is you, you’re not alone—and help is available.

In this post, we’ll explore:

  • The connection between ADHD and anxiety

  • Signs it may be time to seek counselling

  • What to expect from therapy

  • How to find ADHD and anxiety counselling in Vancouver


The Connection Between ADHD and Anxiety

It’s common for ADHD and anxiety to show up together. In fact, research shows that many adults and teens with ADHD also experience anxiety symptoms. The constant mental “noise,” challenges with focus, and stress from managing responsibilities can fuel anxious thoughts. On the flip side, anxiety can worsen ADHD symptoms, making it harder to concentrate and stay organized.


Signs You May Benefit From Counselling

It may be time to seek professional support if you notice:

  • Persistent stress, worry, or overwhelm

  • Trouble focusing or completing tasks

  • Struggles with relationships due to miscommunication or forgetfulness

  • Difficulty balancing work, school, or family responsibilities

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, poor sleep, or stomach issues caused by stress

If these feel familiar, counselling can provide strategies, tools, and relief.
