What is
ADHD Coaching
The honest answer, it’s any kind of personal coaching, just for ADHD people!
But, there’s no one size fits all approach, because it’s not actually possible to only coach “your ADHD”.
You’re a whole human, with many different qualities and a lifetime of experiences, and coaching should support all of you. Your ADHD is just one factor of this tapestry

Our Approach to ADHD Coaching
At The ADHD Empowerment Space, we support you to:
- Understand yourself better
- Un-learn coping mechanisms that no longer serve you
- Start working with your brain instead of against it!
Many ADHDers (diagnosed or not) have tried coaching or talking therapies and felt like they were somehow failing at it.
If you’ve ever:
- Felt like a Rabbit in headlights when asked an open-ended question
- Blurted out an answer that didn’t feel quite right
- Frozen under pressure, even though you know the answer somewhere inside…
You’re not alone. This is an incredibly common experience.
Our brains can struggle to prioritise and make decisions, especially when put on the spot. That’s why our coaching approach is to gently guide you when this happens.
This still puts you in control of the direction you choose to take, but can be game changing when it comes to coaching for our busy brains!
What ADHD Coaching Is Not
ADHD coaching is not about telling you what to do or simply giving you a set of ‘one size fits all’ tools to go off and use (if this worked, none of us would have any challenges at all!).
It’s about helping you identify your own tools, create fun ways of playing with them, and understand how to integrate them into your life long term.
The outcomes can be:
- Improved Executive Function
- Better Emotional Regulation
- Understanding how to navigate RSD
- Building stronger relationships
- Thriving in your work (and life!)
- Developing positive self-regard and growing a strong relationship with yourself
- Knowing how to communicate your needs clearly
- Feeling happier in yourself
- Improved Executive Function
- Better Emotional Regulation
- Understanding how to navigate RSD
- Building stronger relationships
- Thriving in your work (and life!)
- Developing positive self-regard and growing a strong relationship with yourself
- Knowing how to communicate your needs clearly
- Feeling happier in yourself
What can you expect from sessions?
We understand the power and importance of verbal processing for many of us ADHDers.
Your coaching time provides a judgment free space for you to explore what’s going on – whether that’s a problem to solve, a pattern to shift, something to celebrate (or find a way to duplicate!)
You can expect a talking space which weaves together:
- Executive Function coaching
- Coping Strategies Training
- Improved Executive Function
- Better Emotional Regulation
- Understanding how to navigate RSD • Building stronger relationships
- Thriving in your work (and life!)
- Developing positive self-regard and growing a strong relationship with yourself
- Knowing how to communicate your needs clearly
- Feeling happier in yourself
- ADHD Education
- Verbal processing
- Tools and techniques for ADHD challenges
- And SUPER importantly, deep self understanding that helps you to make sense of everything (arguably this should have been first on the list!)
Your coach will always invite you to set the focus for the session, but will be on hand to guide you if you’re not sure where to start.
Each session will aim to bring you closer to an answer which you already sort of know but might be struggling to find the exact words to express right now.
We’re really flexible on whether clients prefer to have a more structured approach, addressing specific topics and challenges in a programme we co-create with you, or prefer to go session to session, working with life “as it happens”. You’re the person who knows what you need, we’re just here to help you voice it and work with it.
How It Works
Step 1
Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your needs and goals. This helps us better understand you as a person so we can partner you with the coach who best fits with these.
Step 2
Personalised Coaching
We meet you
where you are as a human with no pre- conceptions or fixed programme (but we can co-create a plan if this is your preference!). Sessions are conducted remotely at times that suit you.
Step 3
Extended Support
Your ADHD support extends beyond the time you spend in coaching sessions to include resources and community support.Step 4
Empowerment and Growth
Our ultimate aim is
to empower you to take control of your life and thrive despite the challenges of neurodiversity. We will help you build confidence, resilience, and self-belief, allowing you to live life to the fullest.
Step 1
Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your needs and goals. This helps us better understand you as a person so we can partner you with the coach who best fits with these.
Step 2
Meet your coach (or coaches)
You’ll be able to have a call with a coach who we believe is a great fit for you, to see if you think so too!
If you aren’t sure, we can invite you to speak to another coach, it’s important you feel that it’s the right person to support you – although there’s always an element of trying it out as coaching feels different from a chat!
Step 3
Coaching Begins
We meet you where you are as a human with no pre- conceptions or fixed programme (but we can co-create a bespoke plan if this is your preference!). Sessions are conducted remotely at times that suit you.
We will also check in with you every few of sessions to make sure that you’re happy with the support you’re receiving and to see how things are changing for you. We believe offering open communication is essential!
Step 4
Empowerment and Growth
Our ultimate aim is to empower you to take control of your life and thrive alongside the challenges that being neurodivergent presents. We aim to help you build confidence, resilience, and self-belief, allowing you to live life to the fullest. And we very much hope that through working with us that you’ll feel you don’t “need” us any more – although that’s very different from “wanting” to continue working with us.
Coaching can be a lifelong tool to help you enhance your life ongoing – you’re welcome here as long as you wish to stay.
At The ADHD Empowerment Space, we’re committed to your success and well-being. Let us be your partner in your journey towards empowerment!
