Who ADHD coaching can be helpful for

​

ADHD coaching may be useful if you:

​

 

• Have ADHD and feel bright, capable, and driven, yet chronically overwhelmed

• Were diagnosed in adulthood and are re-evaluating your past through a new lens

• Struggle with procrastination, inconsistency, or bursts of intensity followed by exhaustion

• Feel stuck between high expectations (your own or others’) and difficulty sustaining routines

• Experience emotional reactivity, rejection sensitivity, or difficulty switching off

• Are navigating work, creative projects, leadership roles, or life transitions alongside ADHD

 

 

I work with people across a wide range of professional and personal contexts, including those in creative industries, academia, leadership roles, and self-employment – where ADHD traits can be both a strength and a source of difficulty.

How therapeutic ADHD coaching works

​

Unlike standard coaching, therapeutic ADHD coaching recognises that change is rarely just about 'trying harder' or finding the right system. Together, we work on:

 

• Translating goals into realistic, ADHD-friendly structures

• Understanding patterns of avoidance, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown

• Working with motivation, energy, and attention rather than against them

• Exploring the emotional impact of ADHD on self-esteem, relationships, and identity

• Developing sustainable ways of working that fit how you actually function

 

Sessions are collaborative and responsive. At times the work may look more practical and forward-focused; at others, it may involve slowing down to understand what keeps certain patterns in place.

Lived experience and professional background

​

Alongside my clinical training and experience, I also bring lived experience of ADHD. This often helps clients feel more quickly understood – particularly around the less visible aspects of ADHD, such as internal pressure, masking, or the gap between outward competence and inner struggle.

 

My work is informed by psychodynamic and relational thinking, meaning we pay attention to how early experiences, expectations, and relationships shape present-day patterns. This depth can be especially valuable for adults who have spent years compensating, over-functioning, or blaming themselves for difficulties that were never properly named.

ADHD coaching and therapy

​

Some people choose ADHD coaching as a stand-alone approach; others combine it with therapy, either concurrently or at different stages. If you’re unsure which would be the best fit, we can think this through together.

 

If you’re looking for ADHD support that is thoughtful, psychologically informed, and grounded in real-world experience – rather than quick fixes or rigid systems – therapeutic coaching may be a good place to start.

Medication and ADHD coaching

 

People come to ADHD coaching with very different relationships to medication. Some are taking ADHD medication and want support alongside it; others have chosen not to, have stopped, or are still curious and weighing things up.

 

My approach is open and non-directive. Coaching is not contingent on taking medication, nor does it assume that medication is either a solution or a problem. Instead, we can think together about how attention, energy, mood, motivation, and side effects are experienced in your day-to-day life – and how these interact with work, relationships, and self-expectations.

 

For those who are curious about medication, coaching can offer a space to reflect on hopes, fears, and assumptions, and to integrate any changes thoughtfully rather than feeling pressured into a particular position.
