Frequently Asked Questions
How is coaching different from therapy?
Therapy often focuses on understanding your past, processing emotions, and addressing mental health challenges. ADHD coaching is future-focused and action-oriented — it’s about helping you identify goals, develop strategies, and build habits that work for your brain.
While therapy might explore why you think and feel the way you do, coaching focuses on how you can move forward. In ADHD coaching, we work together to turn insight into practical steps, provide accountability, and celebrate progress along the way.
Do I need an official ADHD diagnosis to work with you?
No — you don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from ADHD coaching. Self-diagnosis is valid, and many people seek support long before they have an official assessment.
In the UK, the waiting list for an ADHD diagnosis can be years long for both children and adults. Starting coaching early means you can begin understanding your brain, learning strategies, and building confidence right away — rather than putting your life on hold while you wait for paperwork. Support is every bit as helpful whether you have a diagnosis or not.
What if I've tried other things that haven't worked?
Many ADHDers have tried therapy, medication, or neurotypical strategies with good intentions — yet still feel stuck. ADHD coaching works differently. It focuses on your brain’s executive functions, motivations, and roadblocks, using personalised strategies that play to your strengths and work with your ADHD. What’s often mistaken for depression, anxiety, or laziness is usually ADHD burnout, overwhelm, or self-doubt — and coaching helps you overcome these to move forward.
Do you work with people who also have anxiety, autism, or other conditions?
Absolutely! I work with people who have anxiety, autism, and other neurodivergent or mental health conditions often co-occurring with ADHD. Coaching is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and challenges—helping you navigate all parts of your experience in a way that supports your whole self.
What if I don't know what my goals even are?
That’s completely okay! ADHD coaching is designed to help you clear away the noise and pressure of trying to fit into neurotypical expectations. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you—your values, interests, and strengths—and help you uncover meaningful goals that feel authentic. From there, we’ll create a practical path to move forward at your own pace.
Do you offer coaching for couples?
Navigating a relationship where one or both partners have ADHD is often full of fun, spontaneity and unique joys, but there can also be frustrating challenges when one or both of you feel misunderstood or unappreciated. ADHD coaching for couples helps you understand how ADHD impacts your communication, routines, and emotional connection.
Together, we’ll explore practical tools to improve understanding, reduce conflict, and build habits that support both partners. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelm, forgetfulness, or feeling misunderstood, coaching can help you create a stronger, more connected relationship that embraces your unique wiring.
