Question 1

Why Work with an ADHD Coach?

Accepted Answer

Getting diagnosed with ADHD can bring clarity—but not much else.
Most people are left with a label, a few tips, and zero real support.

You end up sifting through conflicting advice, trying to “fix” yourself with strategies that weren’t made for your brain. After years of masking and burnout, it’s exhausting.

An ADHD coach helps you cut through the noise and build a life that actually works for you.

✅Understand your brain
✅ Unlearn shame
✅ Build strategies that stick
✅ Manage overwhelm, energy, and motivation

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Coaching gives you the tools, and support to stop procrastinating and start living!

Question 2

Do I have to have an ADHD diagnosis to get coaching?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. I work with clients who have an official diagnosis and those who have not/do not want it. There is no need for a label to validate your experiences here, this is a non-judgemental space.

Question 3

Can you assess whether I have ADHD or not?

Accepted Answer

No. I am not qualified to conduct ADHD assessments and would never tell you that you are or are not ADHD. In coaching we’re concerned with experiences that impact you, developing healthy and useful behaviours and working on internal systems so that you can feel like a more authentic, effective version of yourself.

Question 4

I have had counselling in the past, will coaching be emotionally tiring?

Accepted Answer

Whilst counselling and coaching certainly overlap, they have different purposes and work in different ways. Counselling may dig deep into past and traumatic experiences to help you process and understand your experiences, which can at times be emotionally tiring. Coaching however is forward-looking and focusses on what is present and moving forward. Emotions are an important part of the human experience and so sometimes you may feel more emotional than others during coaching and this is ok!

Question 5

What is different about coaching women and men with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Because the ADHD experience for men and women is very different and research is still only just emerging centred on female experiences it is important to understand and acknowledge this difference in the coaching space.
My goal is to ensure I am using up-to-date research specific to both men and women, not outdated ideas of what we thought ADHD was for 'everyone'. Hormones cycles and changes through the life span are connected to female experiences of ADHD and the relationship between oestrogen and dopamine can have a dramatic effect on symptoms.

Question 6

I think I am ADHD AND autistic. Do I need an AuDHD coach?

Accepted Answer

AuDHD is the term for when an individual is diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism. Coaching in this instance may involve exploring both aspects as well as how to manage and balance what can feel like contradictory forces.

Research indicates that a high percentage of individuals diagnosed with one, may also be diagnosed with the other. In fact, there are high co-occurrence rates across different types of neurodivergence  (e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia).

Having experience coaching individuals with a range of different neurodivergence, I am happy and equipped to support you whether you are ADHD or have other co-occurring neurodivergence.

Question 7

Am I the right coach for you?

Accepted Answer

Finding the right coach is all about chemistry. How do you know if we’re a good fit? That’s exactly what a discovery call is for. This isn’t just a quick chat—it’s a full 60 minute chat, giving you a first-hand experience of what it’s like to work together so you can make an informed decision.

The most important factor is our connection and ability to work well together.

To help you determine whether we’d be a good match, here’s what I look for in a client.

My Coaching approach: Is This the Right Fit for You?

1) Your Aim Is True Transformation
As a coach I want more for you then strategies that make life easier and your ADHD better managed. Instead of feeling like you are just surviving, I want to help you absolutely love your life- and create positive change that is permanent and sustainable.

The real work lies in shifting not just what you do, but how you think and who you are becoming. Sustainable progress comes from deep transformation—
because what got you here won’t get you there...

2) You Are Committed and Open to Self-Reflection
Coaching extends beyond our sessions. To create meaningful change, it’s important to engage in self-reflection between sessions—examining your mindset, self-talk, and energy levels, experimenting with strategies, and noticing what works. These practices not only accelerate progress but also empower you to eventually coach yourself!

3) Open and Honest Communication
We need a foundation of trust and openness. If a strategy doesn’t feel right or you know you won’t follow through on a plan, let’s talk about it!

Every insight—especially what doesn’t work—is valuable information that helps us refine the approach. Remember, if something isn’t working, it’s the plan that needs adjusting, not you. I’m committed to maintaining open communication and encourage you to do the same.

4) A Partnership That’s Both Fun and Productive
The best coaching relationships are both effective and enjoyable. If we both feel that working together will be engaging, motivating, productive and fun, then we’re on the right track!

If these resonate with you, we’re likely to be a great fit!
