Question 1

What is ADHD Coaching?

Accepted Answer

ADHD coaching is a specialised form of support that helps people with ADHD understand their brain, manage their challenges, and build on their strengths. It involves working one-on-one with a certified ADHD coach who understands how ADHD affects focus, organisation, time management, motivation, emotional regulation, and daily life.

ADHD coaching is practical, collaborative, and personalised. It focuses on what’s happening right now in your life — and how to make real, sustainable change.

Key elements of ADHD coaching include:

✔ Personalised Strategies
 Your ADHD coach helps you create practical strategies for planning, organisation, time management, motivation, and emotional regulation — all tailored to the way your brain works.

✔ Goal Setting (That Actually Works)
 Together we set clear, achievable goals and break them into small, manageable steps so progress feels doable, not overwhelming.

✔ Accountability & Support
 ADHD coaching provides encouragement, follow-through, and structure. You don’t have to do it on your own.

✔ Executive Function Skill Development
 Coaching strengthens skills such as focus, planning, prioritising, decision-making, and task initiation — essential for success at work, school, and home.

✔ A Mindset Shift
 We work on replacing “I should be able to do this” with confidence, self-understanding, and strategies that align with your strengths.

ADHD coaching empowers individuals to create meaningful, lasting change — improving confidence, productivity, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life. Whether you're an adult, teen, parent, or professional, ADHD coaching helps you understand your brain and build skills that help you thrive.

Question 2

What is happens in the free consultation?

Accepted Answer

The free consultation is simply a friendly chat so we can get to know each other and see whether ADHD coaching feels like the right fit for you. There’s no pressure, no commitment — just a chance to talk.

Here’s what we’ll usually cover:

✔ We start with a quick hello
Nothing formal — just a chance to get comfortable and share what brought you here.

✔ You can tell me what’s going on
What’s feeling hard?
 What’s getting in the way?
 What’s making life feel a bit heavier than it needs to be?

✔ I’ll explain how ADHD coaching works
You’ll get a clear picture of what sessions look like, how we work together, and what kind of support you can expect.

✔ We talk about your goals
What would you love to feel more in control of?
 What would you like to change?
 What would make life feel easier?

✔ You can ask anything
Questions about coaching, about ADHD, about my background — all welcome.

✔ And finally, we figure out next steps
If it feels like a good fit, great.
 If not, that’s perfectly okay too.

The goal is for you to walk away with more clarity than you came in with.
Think of the consultation as a safe, relaxed space to explore your options and get a feel for what support could look like — nothing more, nothing less.
