Asked Questions
What is ADHD coaching?
Coaching gives you the knowledge and skills so you can work with your strengths, be kinder to yourself and be yourself in a world designed for people with neurotypical brains.
ADHDers like myself, experience challenges with what’s called our executive functions – these include memory, time blindness, organisation, starting and finishing things and big emotions that can be hard to control.
We have an interest-based nervous system – if something excites us, we’re in there doing it, often brilliantly. But we also our have difficulties regulating our attention and motivation. This means our executive functioning skills don’t always work as the world expects.
The coaching sessions allow you to recognise your strengths AND use them to overcome your executive functioning challenges at home, at work and at play.
We focus on what you want to explore each week, and because it’s sometimes difficult to pinpoint what you want to explore and achieve, we also use prompts and activities to kick-start and shape your ideas.
I can’t afford ADHD coaching?
From time to time, I share discounts for people who are paying for their own coaching and on a budget which makes it hard to do.
There are other ways to pay for coaching.
For example, Access to Work.
If you are in work, employed or self-employed in the UK, you can apply to Access to Work for funding to support you to stay in your role.
You can receive financial support for
several things including ADHD coaching.
If you’re asked to provide quotes for ADHD coaching, get in touch. I can help.
Is coaching only online?
Online coaching is the main option. It’s easier to fit around your work, home and social life. If you would prefer in-person coaching, drop me an email and we can have a chat.
How do I book coaching?
It’s a really good idea to book an intro call first. It’s a free Zoom call where I can share how I work and learn a little bit about you.
If you’ve had an intro call or are ready to go ahead with coaching, this is the link to book coaching packages of six or twelve sessions.
How does pricing work?
Online coaching is packaged into six or twelve sessions, based on a rate of £70 an hour. This covers your one-hour coaching call, my prep time, follow-ups by WhatApp and check-ins.
Payment is required in advance of each block of sessions – six or twelve. If you are booking for twelve sessions, you have the option to pay in three monthly instalments.
For coaching, training and other services for organisations, payment is requested in advance via BACs. An invoice will be sent out to you in line with our agreement.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis for coaching?
No, not at all. If you think you have ADHD you are very welcome to have coaching. I know that there are endless waiting lists for the NHS, not everyone can go private and that some of you don’t want a formal diagnosis.
Can you help me get an ADHD diagnosis?
An ADHD diagnosis can only be done by a trained, qualified professional. That’s not me, but here’s a link to some helpful information.
Employers can help too
Some employers pay for ADHD coaching. If you haven’t told your employer about your ADHD yet, you may want to find out how they support neurodivergent team members. This will help you make a decision about whether or not to ask them to support your ADHD coaching costs.
I’m an employer
Can you help support my colleagues with ADHD?
Absolutely! If you’re an employer looking for support to make your workplace ADHD friendly, I’d love to hear from you. In addition to coaching your colleagues, I offer training and awareness workshops.
