What is ADHD Coaching?

Here is what I believe

When ADHD and AuDHD brains are supported the right way, they thrive.

Most people with ADHD have spent years trying to work the way everyone else does, running into the same walls. Nothing is wrong with you. The tools you were given were built for a different kind of brain.

How it works

ADHD coaching is a practical, one-to-one partnership. Not therapy. Not someone telling you what to do. We figure out together what actually works for you.

We start by understanding your unique brain. An executive function evaluation shows where you are naturally strong and where things get harder. From there we build your personal toolkit: the strategies and scaffolding that help you be at your best, across your work and the rest of your life. Made for you, not one-size-fits-all.

We meet online, usually every one or two weeks. Between sessions you try things out, notice what works, and we adjust. Over time, the strategies become yours and the need for coaching naturally reduces.

For AuDHD clients, I adapt strategies where sensory load, processing differences and energy management need a different approach.

I coach medical professionals, lawyers, civil servants, entrepreneurs and senior women in midlife, and the approach adapts to your life, not just your job.

Still weighing whether coaching is right for you in the first place? My honest guide Should I Get an ADHD Coach? A Practical Guide covers who benefits, who doesn’t, and how to decide.

What every programme includes

Every coaching engagement includes your Executive Function Strength Profile.

What clients bring to coaching

You set the agenda. Common ones:

  • Getting accurate at how long things take, and stopping the constant overrun
  • Closing out the projects you’ve been carrying for months
  • Building organisational systems that actually stick (you’ve tried plenty that haven’t)
  • Tackling procrastination and avoidance without the guilt
  • Trusting yourself again because you keep your own commitments

What clients typically experience

Over time, most clients notice:

  • A clearer head and less overwhelm
  • Systems and habits that actually stick
  • More confidence in their own capability
  • Better follow-through on projects and admin
  • A kinder relationship with the way your brain works

Change does not happen overnight, but most people feel a shift within the first few sessions.

Common questions about ADHD coaching

Click on a question to reveal the answer.

Is ADHD coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical. We build systems and strategies that work with your brain, rather than exploring the past. It is not therapy and does not create a clinical record, and everything we discuss is completely confidential.

How much does ADHD coaching cost?

Programmes start from £840. You can see full pricing and funding options on the pricing page. Most clients pay privately, some are funded by their employer, and where eligible, through Access to Work.

Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis?

No. Many of my clients come to coaching before, during, or without a formal diagnosis. A diagnosis is not required.

How long does coaching take?

Most clients work with me over a few months, weekly or fortnightly. Over time the strategies become yours, and the need for coaching naturally reduces.

Who is ADHD coaching for?

Adults with ADHD or AuDHD who are capable and busy, but worn down by the effort of keeping everything going. If that sounds like you, you are exactly the sort of person I am used to helping. Most people feel a shift within the first few sessions.
