ADHD Coaching - FAQ

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, focus, and executive function.

In adults, it often shows up as difficulty prioritising, managing time, starting tasks, and following through, even when the person is capable and motivated.

ADHD coaching is a structured, practical approach that helps individuals improve focus, organisation, and follow-through in daily life and work.

It focuses on real-world challenges, helping you develop strategies that actually work and can be applied consistently.

No, ADHD coaching and therapy are not the same.

Therapy focuses on emotional support and past experiences, while ADHD coaching focuses on practical strategies to improve focus, productivity, and day-to-day functioning.

In an ADHD coaching session, you work through real challenges, identify what’s getting in the way, and agree clear, practical next steps.

Sessions are focused on action, helping you apply strategies in your work, business, and daily life.

My ADHD coaching style is practical, collaborative, and focused on real-world results.

You decide what we focus on, and we work through it together to find approaches that suit you and can be sustained over time.

No formal preparation is required, but I do strongly recommend using the Weekly Call Form before each session.

The form helps you capture what’s been happening, what you want to focus on, and where you may be stuck. Many clients find it makes sessions clearer and more productive.

Before coaching begins, you will also complete a Coaching Objectives Form so we have a clear starting point.

It is normal not to follow through on everything between ADHD coaching sessions.

We look at what got in the way and adjust the approach. The focus is on making things easier to act on, not on judgement or pressure.

No, ADHD coaching is not just talking.

While discussion is part of the process, the focus is on practical action, helping you apply strategies that improve how you work and manage daily demands.

I work with adults with ADHD who are in professional roles, running businesses, or managing demanding workloads.

Many are capable and experienced but feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or stretched day to day.

Most people notice small improvements within the first few ADHD coaching sessions.

These may include clearer thinking, better decision-making, and feeling more in control. Larger changes build over time with consistency.

Many people who start ADHD coaching feel they have already tried everything.

Coaching focuses on helping you apply what you already know in a way that works in real life, especially under pressure.

Inconsistency is a common part of ADHD.

ADHD coaching focuses on building flexible systems you can return to, rather than expecting perfect consistency.

ADHD coaching sessions are usually held two or three times per month.

Each session lasts around 50 minutes and is typically scheduled at a regular day and time.

ADHD coaching is delivered by phone or WhatsApp voice.

This helps keep sessions focused and reduces distractions compared to video calls.

Yes. I have coached over 600 adults with ADHD and delivered more than 16,000 hours of coaching over nearly 20 years.

Many clients work with me for months or years, reflecting the value they get from the process. Clients have used coaching to improve time management, reduce overwhelm, strengthen working relationships, build businesses, progress in senior roles, and follow through on important projects.

I have worked with professionals from organisations such as Google, Deloitte, the NHS, and many entrepreneurs and business owners.

Yes, Access to Work funding can be used for ADHD coaching in the UK.

Once your funding is approved, sessions can usually be aligned with your award so you can make full use of the support.

ADHD coaching costs vary depending on the session frequency, and level of support.

Pricing is discussed after a discovery call so the coaching can be tailored to your needs. General guidance may be available on the website.

The first step is to book a free discovery call.

This allows you to discuss your challenges, explore how coaching could help, and decide whether to move forward.

Yes, I have ADHD myself, which gives me a direct understanding of the challenges involved.

This means I can often recognise patterns quickly and relate to what you’re experiencing without needing lengthy explanations.
