Do I need to have a formal ADHD diagnosis to coach with you?

Absolutely not! People choose ADHD life coaching for a variety of reasons, and while I specialise in ADHD (and neurodiversity) coaching, my certification and skills as an ADHD Life Coach allow me to assist anyone looking to enhance their life.

Whether it’s overcoming challenges, reaching personal or business/work goals, or improving overall well-being and daily habits, my coaching is designed to support anyone ready to make positive changes.

If you’re curious about ADHD and how it may relate to your experiences, you may find my What is ADHD page helpful. It explains what ADHD is, how it affects executive functioning, and the unique challenges and strengths that come with it.

If you’re wondering how coaching can help, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat about whether it’s the right fit for you if you book a complimentary Discovery Session.

Do I need to be on ADHD medication for coaching to help?

Not at all. ADHD coaching is effective whether you take medication or not.

Medication can help with symptoms like focus and impulsivity, but it doesn’t teach the practical life skills and daily habits you need to thrive – such as time management, organisation, and productivity. That’s where coaching makes the difference.

Waiting for diagnosis or titration? Coaching gives you immediate strategies so you don’t feel stuck in the meantime.
On medication? Coaching helps you get the most out of it by building structure, habits, and systems that support your brain.
Not taking medication? Coaching offers alternative tools and strategies tailored to you.

Whatever your treatment path, ADHD coaching empowers you with skills, confidence, and strategies designed around your unique needs.

Do you work with other types of neurodiversity? 🧠

Yes! While my coaching is specialised in ADHD, I also work with individuals who have AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and other neurodivergent traits. Many of my clients experience overlapping challenges related to executive function, organisation, motivation, and emotional regulation, and I tailor my approach to fit their unique needs.

The strategies I use are flexible, strengths-based, and personalised, recognising that each brain works differently. Whether you struggle with time management, focus, sensory sensitivities, or processing challenges, we’ll work together to find solutions that align with the way you think and navigate the world.

🌍 Do you work with International clients?

Yes! I work with English-speaking clients worldwide, including the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Because I offer online ADHD coaching via Zoom, location is not a barrier. We simply need to align our time zones.

My booking system automatically shows both UK time and your local time, making scheduling straightforward. Over the years, I have supported many international ADHD clients, including expats, digital nomads, professionals, entrepreneurs, and service / military personnel stationed overseas.

All of my adult ADHD coaching packages are the same for UK and international clients. Sessions are delivered virtually via Zoom, and payments are handled securely through Stripe. The system accepts multiple currencies, and most clients simply pay in their local currency with Stripe handling the conversion automatically.

How can I start working with you?

It all begins with a free Discovery Session. This is a relaxed conversation to make sure we are a good fit and to explore how ADHD coaching can support you.

If we decide to work together, you can choose a six or twelve session package. In our first sessions, we will use simple tools such as strengths profiling and learning-style questionnaires that are woven into the coaching process.

From there, we will set clear, tailored goals so every session moves you closer to managing ADHD with confidence, building your personal “toolbox” of habits/strategies, and creating lasting change.

What’s the typical duration and frequency of coaching?

Most clients begin with weekly sessions. This consistency helps us build momentum, create strong foundations, and quickly put strategies into practice. As coaching progresses, many clients transition to bi-weekly appointments, giving more space to apply new habits/tools and reflect between sessions.

The overall coaching journey usually lasts 3 to 6 months, though this depends on your goals and needs. During this time we will assess your challenges and strengths, refine strategies and habits, and support you in creating lasting change.

My aim is always to empower you with the insight, skills, confidence, and systems to continue growing independently beyond our sessions.

Do you offer Access to Work funded ADHD job coaching?

Yes, I do. If you would like ADHD job coaching through the Access to Work (ATW) scheme, simply let me know during your Discovery Call. Once you have ATW approval, you or your employer purchase the sessions upfront and then claim the cost back from ATW.

Most people are awarded 12 sessions. If your award specifies Coping Strategies Training, this can usually be converted into ADHD Job Coaching.

You can apply whether you are self-employed or employed, although if you work for a company, your application may also involve an Occupational Health assessment. However, assessment and approval can still take time – currently up to a year if you are employed by an organisation, and over 12 monthsif you are self-employed (as of summer 2025).

 

How can I make payments?

All coaching payments are made securely in advance via Stripe. You can pay directly through your Client Account Page or by using the payment buttons on my Pricing page. Stripe accepts a variety of currency and payment methods, making the process quick and convenient.

If your coaching is funded by a third party such as an employer or organisation, they can pay through Stripe or I can issue an invoice for BACS payment if required. For clients using the Access to Work scheme, payment is made upfront and can then be reclaimed from Access to Work.

The cost of coaching depends on the package, session frequency, and duration you choose. Full details are available on my Pricing page, and I am always happy to discuss options that suit your needs.

✨ Once payment is confirmed, you can book your sessions at times that work for you within my hours of Monday to Thursday, 9 AM to 6 PM (GMT/BST).

📝 Can I get written summary notes of my coaching sessions?

Yes. I offer an optional tool called Fathom Notetaker, which provides a clear written summary after each coaching session.

Fathom is a secure, AI-powered Zoom assistant that transcribes our conversation and creates an easy-to-read overview of the key points and action steps. Many clients find this invaluable for reviewing progress and staying on track between sessions, while allowing us to stay fully present during the call.

Here’s what you need to know:

GDPR-compliant with secure data storage
Accessible only to me as your coach
✅ You can request copies or deletion of summaries at any time
✅ I always ask permission before using Fathom
✅ Completely optional — coaching works just as well without it

You are free to use this feature or not, and you can change your preference at any time.

🤖 Do you use AI in your coaching practice?

Yes, I sometimes use AI tools to support the background elements of my business – particularly admin, communication, and content creation. For example, I may use AI to help refine written materials (like emails or resources), generate ideas for blog posts, or summarise session notes using tools like Fathom – always with your knowledge and consent.

These tools are used thoughtfully and ethically to support accessibility and reduce admin time, especially as someone with dyslexia and dyscalculia. They do not influence coaching content or decision-making in any way.

The coaching relationship itself is entirely human-led. I use AI only where it helps me maintain a high standard of communication and care behind the scenes. My approach aligns with the ICF Code of Ethics and the ICF AI Coaching Standards and Practical Guide (2025), which emphasise transparency, client trust, and responsible technology use.
