ADHD Support in Perth
Practical, non-clinical support for children, teens and adults with ADHD — routine, focus, motivation and getting out, from a patient support worker who works at your pace.
Living with ADHD can make everyday things — getting started, staying organised, keeping to a routine — genuinely harder, even when the motivation is there. The right practical support, from someone patient and non-judgemental, can make a real difference.
I'm Samuel, an independent support worker in Perth with 9+ years' experience. I provide non-clinical support and companionship for people with ADHD across the Perth metro area — the everyday, practical help that builds momentum and confidence.
How I can help with ADHD
Support is built around what the person actually finds hard, and what they want to get out of it. Depending on their needs, that might include:
- Routines and structure — building gentle, predictable rhythms to the day that are easier to stick to.
- Getting started and staying on track — prompts, encouragement and "body-doubling" (simply having someone alongside) to beat task paralysis.
- Getting organised — a hand planning the day, breaking big things into small steps, and keeping on top of everyday tasks.
- Motivation and momentum — a positive, dependable person to work alongside and keep things moving.
- Getting out into the community — community access, activities, exercise and hobbies that help focus and wellbeing.
- Social confidence — gentle encouragement to try things, join in and connect.
Please note: I provide non-clinical, practical support and companionship. I don't provide ADHD diagnosis, therapy, ADHD coaching, medication management or clinical services — those are for suitably qualified professionals.
Support for children, teens and adults
ADHD looks different at different ages, so support does too — from a school-aged child who needs help with routines and getting out, to a teenager building independence, to an adult juggling home and everyday life. Whatever the age, I follow the person's lead and keep things practical, patient and positive.
Autism & ADHD together
Many of the people I support are autistic, have ADHD, or both — the two often go hand in hand. I take a patient, neurodiversity-affirming approach: predictable, low-pressure, and led by the person. You can read more on my autism & ADHD support page, and we can talk through what suits best.
A male support worker, if that helps
Some families are specifically after a male support worker — a reliable, positive role model for a son or a younger man to get out and about with. If that's what you have in mind, I'm happy to chat about whether I'd be a good fit.
NDIS support for ADHD
Whether ADHD support is funded depends on the individual's situation and NDIS plan. If a plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can usually choose your own support worker — including an independent worker like me — rather than being limited to a large agency. Learn more here or get in touch and we can talk it through.
Safe and properly checked
I hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check, National Police Check, Working With Children Check and First Aid & CPR, with public liability insurance and references available on request. I'm always glad to show evidence before we begin — read more on my checks & insurance page.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide clinical ADHD treatment or coaching?
No. I provide non-clinical, practical support and companionship — help with routines, motivation, getting organised for the day, getting out and building confidence. Diagnosis, therapy, ADHD coaching and medication are clinical services for suitably qualified professionals.
Who do you support with ADHD?
Children, teenagers and adults. The right kind of support depends on the person's age, goals and what they find hard — the best starting point is a friendly chat about what would actually help.
What does ADHD support from a support worker look like?
Practical, everyday things: a hand getting started and staying on track with tasks, building gentle routines, prompts and structure, motivation and body-doubling, getting out into the community, and encouragement to try things and build social confidence — always at the person's pace.
Can you support a child with both autism and ADHD?
Yes. Many people I support are autistic, have ADHD, or both. I take a patient, neurodiversity-affirming approach — following the person's lead and keeping things predictable and positive. See my autism & ADHD support page too.
Can the NDIS fund ADHD support?
Sometimes. Whether ADHD support is funded depends on the individual's NDIS plan and circumstances. If a plan is self- or plan-managed, you can usually choose your own support worker, including an independent one like me. Learn more on my NDIS page or get in touch.
Are you safely checked?
Yes. I hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check, National Police Check, Working With Children Check and First Aid & CPR, with public liability insurance and references available. See my checks & insurance page.
