ADHD & AuDHD Coaching

Coaching is a collaborative process designed to help you move forward. It's not about me providing all the answers or advice – every single person is different, and you're the expert in you.

Coaching is about tangible actions and accountability. It's about understanding how your brain actually works, and building ways of working and living that suit it. A bit like having someone stand with you whilst you make the bed – after a while, it's a habit, and you don't need them there anymore.

How long that takes is different for everyone. Some people work with me for a few months and feel they've got what they need. Others stay for over a year. There's no fixed answer and no pressure either way.

What is Coaching?

ADHD and AuDHD coaching is coaching done through a neurodivergent lens. I have the context, understanding and skills to help you work out how your brain actually works – whether that's ADHD, autism, or the two of them arguing with each other.

Some coaches might have this context and understanding based on either their own lived or professional experience, or they may have trained with specialist coaching schools. I have both – I'm diagnosed autistic and ADHD, and I'm a certified coach. That combination means you get a psychologically safe space to untangle how your brain works, without having to explain the basics to me first.

In 'neurotypical' style coaching, you're usually expected to bring your own agenda to sessions and explain what you'd like to get out of the conversation that day. But many ADHD and autistic folk arrive at coaching unsure of what support they even need. You might be feeling overwhelmed by all the options, or unhelpable and 'broken', or like you've been 'diagnosed and dumped'.

My coaching works differently. There's an optional framework we can use in sessions, so there's no pressure to arrive knowing what you want to focus on. Or we can throw it out entirely and follow what's actually in front of you that week. Your coaching time belongs to you.

A lot of people come to coaching not knowing what they should do, only that they need to do something. And that's a completely fine place to start.
