A delta is that low-lying area where a river breaks off into several slower-moving or still branches before hitting the sea. It's built up from sediment the river carries, making it super fertile ground with tons of potential for growth or change.

Let's imagine:

The river is your ADHD.

The branches are the ADHD characteristics such as inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity.

The sediment represents the symptoms ADHD has dropped into your life – things like disorganization, not being self-aware, poor time management, bad memory, not being able to sit still, getting easily distracted, struggling with social skills, and other executive function and emotional regulation challenges (your ADHD setbacks).

Just like a river delta, your ADHD Delta (that's the river, branches, and sediment combined) is incredibly fertile ground with a huge potential for change.

Funnily enough, delta (Δ) also means change! As an ADHD Life coach, I team up with clients to:

Explore how their unique symptoms affect their everyday life (that's the fertility of their ADHD Delta).

Develop personalized, strengths-based strategies and actions that can turn their sediments (ADHD setbacks) into super nutrients (ADHD strengths), which will…

Supercharge their ADHD Delta and launch them into a sea of lasting change – doesn't that sound so peaceful and freeing?!!

So for me, "Delta" represents that powerful moment of change, growth, and discovering new directions when you truly understand and work with your ADHD. It's about finding your unique ADHD strengths and leveraging them to create the life you want, instead of constantly battling against the current.

If you'll let me take you a step further, delta is also the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet. I see this as the collaborative team supporting you on your ADHD wellness journey. As highlighted in the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association's Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for ADHD (2022), a multi-modal treatment approach is recommended, and this includes:

General Practitioners: Your go-to for initial support and referrals (ps - things are changing in Australia to help with diagnosis and medication prescriptions).

Specialists: Psychiatrists (for adults) or Paediatricians (for kids) – they're the ones authorized to diagnose, prescribe medication, and treat ADHD here in Australia.

Allied Health Professionals: Like psychologists, occupational therapists, mental health nurses, and others, who offer therapy and non-medication support.

ADHD Coaching: For building lifelong skills that dial down the impact of ADHD symptoms, boost self-esteem, and improve overall well-being. And that's where I come in –change and forward movement!

So, by engaging with multiple providers including a coach like myself, you can get really solid care to supercharge your ADHD Delta.
