What is an ADHD coach?

An ADHD coach is a professional who uses ADHD-specific knowledge and coaching methods to help clients understand ADHD-related challenges, develop practical strategies and work towards personally meaningful goals.

​

What does an ADHD coach do for adults?

An ADHD coach helps adults understand how their brain works, navigate ADHD-related challenges, and develop practical strategies that fit their needs and goals. Coaching can also help identify self-criticism, limiting beliefs, and coping patterns that get in the way, so you can work with your brain.​

​

What happens during ADHD coaching sessions?

Sessions focus on the challenges that matter most to you and the changes you want to make. We'll explore your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical steps tailored to your brain, circumstances, and goals. Over time, you'll build greater self-awareness, confidence, and capacity to navigate life challenges.

​

Is ADHD coaching right for me?

ADHD coaching may be right for you if you have an ADHD diagnosis, suspect you may have ADHD, or experience challenges commonly associated with ADHD. You may know what you want to do but struggle to follow through, feel stuck in self-criticism, or want to understand yourself better and find more sustainable ways to manage everyday life. ​​

How do I know if I'm ready for coaching?

It’s not about waiting for the "perfect" moment when life feels calm and “sorted” to begin. Most people start when they know what they've been doing isn’t working and open to trying a different way. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.

​

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?

No. You can explore coaching if you have an ADHD diagnosis, suspect you may have ADHD, or simply want support with challenges commonly associated with ADHD.

​

Can ADHD coaching diagnose ADHD?

No. ADHD coaching does not provide diagnosis; assessment and diagnosis should be carried out by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

​​​

Is ADHD coaching therapy?

No. Coaching and therapy have different purposes, although they can sometimes complement one another. ADHD coaching generally focuses on present challenges, goals, skills, strategies and future action.

​

Do you offer online coaching?

Yes. I provide online ADHD coaching throughout the UK and internationally, with sessions available in English and Japanese.

​

Do you offer coaching in Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. In-person ADHD coaching is available in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, London and surrounding areas, subject to availability.

​

Can ADHD coaching be funded through Access to Work?

Eligible people may be able to receive funding for specialist ADHD coaching through the UK Access to Work scheme, subject to DWP eligibility and approval.​

​

How can ADHD coaching help with procrastination and task initiation?

ADHD coaching helps you explore what's making it difficult to get started, such as overwhelm, perfectionism, fear of failure, difficulty breaking tasks down, or escape patterns of our brain. We address the reasons, reduce frictions to make tasks more manageable, enjoyable, and help you take action with greater confidence and consistency.

​

How can ADHD coaching help with self-criticism and limiting beliefs?

Repeated struggles can lead you to internalising those challenges as personal flaws. ADHD coaching helps you recognise and challenge these beliefs, understand the patterns behind your difficulties, and separate your challenges from your identity. This can help you replace self-blame with greater self-understanding and find more supportive ways forward.
