What is ADHD coaching?
ADHD coaching is a collaborative, goal-focused process that helps you turn insight into action. It focuses on the present and the future: what is getting in the way right now, and what would help.
Together we work on:
- Building systems for work and life that fit how your brain actually works
- Starting tasks, finishing them, and following through on plans
- Managing overwhelm, avoidance and inconsistent energy
- Strengthening self-trust and reducing self-criticism
- Finding a clearer sense of direction
Who is ADHD coaching for?
ADHD coaching is for adults who have an ADHD diagnosis, are waiting for an assessment, or recognise ADHD traits in themselves. You do not need a formal diagnosis to start.
It often suits people who are:
- Capable and hard-working, but exhausted by how much effort everyday life takes
- Stuck in cycles of overworking, crashing and burnout
- Newly diagnosed and unsure what to do with the information
- Struggling with deadlines, organisation, emails, planning or procrastination
If you are a student or young adult, see Students Support.
What happens in a session?
Sessions are structured but flexible. We start with what you are currently stuck on, whether that is starting a task, managing overwhelm or following through on a plan.
We break it into clear, manageable steps and look at what gets in the way, from distraction and perfectionism to low energy. You leave each session with a small number of realistic actions to test, not an overwhelming plan.
Between sessions you try things out and notice what works. In the next session we adjust together. Over time this builds momentum and habits that feel sustainable, not forced.
You do not need to feel ready, organised or consistent to begin. Most people start in the middle of the mess, and that is where this work helps most.
ADHD coaching or therapy: which do I need?
Coaching helps with practical change: routines, work strategies, follow-through and direction.
Therapy helps with the emotional side: anxiety, trauma, burnout, shame and long-standing patterns. See Therapy for Adults.
Many people benefit from a mix. We can decide together in your first consultation, and I can offer both coaching and therapy where that makes sense.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to start ADHD coaching? No. Coaching is open to people with a diagnosis, people waiting for an assessment, and people who recognise ADHD traits in themselves.
What is the difference between ADHD coaching and therapy? Coaching focuses on practical strategies and action in the present. Therapy explores emotions, history and patterns in more depth. I am a clinical psychologist, so I can offer either, or a blend.
Is ADHD coaching available online? Yes. Sessions are available by video across the UK, and in person in Central London.
How many sessions will I need? Most people start with 8 sessions and we review progress together.
Can ADHD coaching replace medication or an assessment? No. Coaching can sit alongside medication and other treatment, and it does not replace an assessment or medical advice. If you are unsure whether you have ADHD, we can talk through assessment options.
What happens in the first consultation? We talk about what is going on, what you would like to change, and which kind of support fits best. There is no pressure to commit.
