Tristan’s Therapeutic Style
Tristan’s therapeutic style is warm, thoughtful, and grounded. He takes time to understand each client’s story, values, and lived experience. Sessions are collaborative and paced carefully, allowing space for reflection while also focusing on practical tools that support everyday life.
He has a particular ability to work with clients who are high in insight but low in self compassion. Tristan helps clients slow down their inner critic, develop emotional awareness, and respond to challenges with greater flexibility rather than judgment.
A Practical, Skills-Focused Approach to ADHD
One of the most encouraging aspects of psychotherapy for ADHD is how many strategies are simple, accessible, and genuinely effective. Challenges such as organization, time management, and follow through can often be improved through consistent use of tools like planners, reminders, and timers.
The challenge is rarely knowing what to do. More often, it is understanding why these strategies are difficult to maintain and what gets in the way of using them consistently. In therapy, Tristan works with clients to better understand how ADHD affects the brain, why it deserves to be taken seriously, and how shame, burnout, or past experiences can interfere with follow through.
Together, you will explore the barriers that make change difficult and develop realistic systems that fit your life. The focus is not perfection, but progress through small, sustainable steps that lead to meaningful change.
Tristan’s work is trauma-informed and strengths-based. He recognizes how past experiences shape present patterns and supports clients in building skills that align with who they want to become, not who they think they should be.
Modalities Tristan Uses
Tristan integrates several evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs and goals:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to stress, burnout, and low self esteem. -
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Supports exploration of different emotional parts of the self, especially those carrying shame, fear, or protective roles. -
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Encourages values-based action and psychological flexibility, even in the presence of discomfort. -
Mindfulness Based Strategies
Builds awareness, grounding, and emotional regulation. -
Strengths-Based Therapy
Focuses on resilience, existing skills, and personal resources. -
Trauma-Informed Care
Prioritizes safety, choice, and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.
Tristan uses these approaches flexibly, helping clients develop insight while also building tools they can use outside of sessions.
What It Feels Like to Work With Tristan

In therapy with Tristan, you can expect:
-
A calm and respectful therapeutic environment

Thoughtful questions that deepen understanding

Practical strategies for emotional regulation and focus

Collaboration that honours your values and goals
Tristan brings a relaxed and approachable presence to his work. He believes therapy is most effective when clients feel comfortable being themselves, and he takes an informal, collaborative approach that helps sessions feel grounded rather than clinical.
Tristan offers flexibility in how therapy is structured. Some clients prefer a more focused, time-limited approach with clear goals and practical strategies. Others choose longer-term therapy to explore patterns, relationships, and deeper emotional work. Together, you will decide what feels most supportive based on your needs, preferences, and life circumstances.
Outside of therapy, Tristan has a strong interest in music, attending concerts, and producing music. His connection to creativity informs how he works with clients, particularly those who think differently, feel easily overwhelmed, or struggle with traditional systems that do not always fit how their minds work.
Informed by Lived Experience
Tristan brings personal insight into ADHD and emotional trauma, informed by his own journey of learning to manage symptoms, heal from the past, and build a meaningful life. He shares this lived experience thoughtfully and ethically, not as the focus of therapy, but as a foundation for genuine empathy, understanding, and trust.
