CBT. ACT. DBT. EMDR. Schema Therapy.
To psychologists, these are everyday terms.

To everyone else, they're often just a confusing collection of letters that somehow seem important when you're trying to find a therapist. 😅

So... What are these different therapy approaches? 🤔
How are they different? Which one would work best for you?

We put together a quick overview of some of the most common therapy modalities: an overview of what they are, how they differ, and why you might come across them when looking for support.

There’s a lot of information online at the moment about ADHD coaching, executive functioning support, therapy, accountability, productivity systems… and honestly, it can get confusing pretty quickly.

We’ve just published a new blog exploring the differences between:
• ADHD coaching
• Psychology-informed executive functioning support
• Therapy and emotional wellbeing support

The article is written for adults who may be struggling with overwhelm, procrastination, burnout, emotional regulation, or the constant feeling of trying hard but still not quite keeping up.

Importantly, it’s not about saying one type of support is “better” than another — it’s about helping people understand what kind of support may actually fit their needs.

We’ve also included:
✔ A simple comparison infographic
✔ ADHD-friendly summaries and visuals
✔ Evidence-informed information
✔ Neurodiversity-affirming perspectives
