The ADHD Couples Series

Relationships may feel more complex when differences in attention, organisation, or emotional regulation are part of daily life. The ADHD Couples Series offers a structured setting for couples to learn about these patterns together and to explore how ADHD may influence communication, routines, and day-to-day interactions.

The series is facilitated by counsellor Greer Alexandra, a qualified counsellor, sexual health educator, and experienced trainer in the mental health field. Greer brings a thoughtful and informed approach to supporting couples as they consider how ADHD characteristics may relate to their relationship dynamics. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice and delivered within a respectful, inclusive learning environment.

The program is held on Thursday or Friday evenings and is available in two formats: a small-group series (up to three couples) or an individual format (one couple). Both follow a four-week curriculum that incorporates education, guided discussion, and practical exercises.

Across the four weeks, couples examine topics such as attention and executive functioning, communication patterns, emotional responses, shared responsibilities, and the role ADHD may play in daily life. Sessions blend information with opportunities for reflection, allowing couples to consider how these themes relate to their own circumstances.

This series has been developed with senior consultation from Dr Emilie Staehr, GP with advanced training in mental health, and Aaron Neaves, Clinical Psychologist and Director of May Health, to support alignment with current clinical understanding.

The ADHD Couples Series is intended to provide structured education, opportunities for discussion, and a supportive environment for learning about how ADHD may intersect with relationship experiences.

What the series covers:

• Educational content on ADHD and its potential influence on relationship patterns

• Communication approaches and practical frameworks

• Shared responsibilities and daily routines

• Emotional responses and differing support needs

• Considerations around intimacy and connection

• A small, consistent setting that supports discussion and shared learning

This series provides structured, relationship-focused education to help couples explore how ADHD may influence communication, daily routines, and shared experiences. It offers a supportive setting in which couples can learn, reflect, and discuss how ADHD-related patterns may be shaping their relationship.

The program is available in both group and individual formats, allowing couples to choose the level of privacy or interaction that best suits their preferences.

The ADHD Couples Series is an educational program designed to help couples explore how ADHD may influence communication, routines, and relationship dynamics. Over four weeks, couples are guided through structured discussions and learning activities that support awareness and shared understanding.

Sessions integrate professional education, practical frameworks, and insights informed by lived experience. Topics include the ways ADHD traits may relate to relationship roles, emotional responses, communication patterns, conflict navigation, and approaches to intimacy. The program encourages reflection and provides opportunities to consider strategies that may be relevant to each couple’s circumstances.

All participants receive handouts and reflection worksheets to support learning and facilitate discussion between sessions.

The total cost for the group program is $660 per couple, payable in full at the time of booking. This fee includes all four sessions and access to program materials.

The individual format is $1,000 per couple, also payable in full at the time of booking. It follows the same four-week structure as the group program and is delivered in a private, one-couple setting.

Please note:

As this is a scheduled program with limited places, fees are non-refundable once a booking is confirmed. Make-up sessions are not available, so please ensure both partners can attend all four sessions before enrolling.

To participate in the program, both partners must be 18 years or older, and at least one partner must have a formal ADHD diagnosis. No referral is required, though documentation of the diagnosis is requested prior to commencement.

This series is designed for couples who are not experiencing high conflict or significant distress. It is best suited to those who wish to understand how ADHD influences their relationship, strengthen communication, and build supportive interaction patterns. For couples experiencing higher levels of conflict or safety concerns, individual relationship counselling — available at May Health — may be more appropriate.

Program formats:

• Group program: Up to three couples per intake.
• Individual program: One couple only, offered on Thursday or Friday evenings.
