How Coaching Works
An ADHD Coach is a supportive partner who listens with both the coach's perspective and the ADHD lens, helping you to transform your relationship with your ADHD.
We achieve this through meaningful conversations that focus on your strengths, important topics, and struggles in your life, allowing us to understand what matters to you, how your ADHD can be a help or a hindrance, and to use that understanding to foster the positive aspects of your life, reduce challenges you face, and guide you towards becoming who you genuinely want to be.
What is ADHD Coaching?
We will meet 2 - 4 times a month, each session lasting up to one hour.
Before each session, you'll fill out a short prep form and bring a specific item you'd like to focus on.
In each session, we'll celebrate your progress, clarify what you want to achieve (don’t worry, we'll discuss what that looks like in our first meeting), have a meaningful conversation aimed at moving you forward, and identify learnings and actions to take between sessions.
Besides working towards your session goals, we'll use those situations in our discussions to better understand your ADHD. Over time, we'll develop a clear picture of how your ADHD manifests, where it helps, and where it might cause difficulties.
During the sessions, we might co-create processes and strategies that suit how you do things, rather than just trying random strategies that may not fit.
Coaching is a process, and change takes time. You've been practicing your current way of doing things for a long time — so please give it some patience. The timeline varies from person to person. I suggest a commitment of at least six months to start. Many stay much longer because they find having a coaching partner incredibly valuable.

Something needs to change for you to advance in your current job...
It’s possible that you miss deadlines.
You might be consistently late.
Perhaps you often underestimate how long a project will take, causing you to rush at the last minute.
Maybe you’re unsure which project is the most important to focus on at the moment.
You feel scattered, unfocused, disorganised, and your prioritisation skills are lacking.
At home, you procrastinate on tasks you should be doing, knowing you're not reaching your potential.
You often become absorbed in projects or activities that, in hindsight, might have been interesting and enjoyable but didn't really help you move forward, making you feel like you've wasted your time.
Your “to-do” list grows no matter how many items you check off.
Finally, the important people in your life seem to struggle to understand why you can't seem to get everything together. They critique, cajole, get tough… and you believe them, which makes you feel terrible.
You often feel misunderstood and criticise yourself because of it.
Compared to others, it appears so simple for them, but for you, it feels nearly impossible.
Professionals & Executives
Until you understand how to harness your gifts and talents while compensating for or delegating your weaknesses, it is very possible that you will remain on that “hamster wheel” you feel like you've been running on for years.
We focus on the things that help you concentrate, prioritise, and identify how you work, so you can motivate yourself authentically and with passion, rediscover interest and excitement in life, and improve your relationships.
Elite & Professional Athletes
You’ve trained for years, pushing yourself to the limit, yet some challenges remain invisible on the court.
You may find it challenging to stay consistent with routines off the court, track, or field.
You sometimes hyperfocus on training but then neglect recovery, rest, or nutrition.
Big matches or competitions bring excitement—but also overwhelm, nerves, and mental fatigue.
The pressure of sponsorships, coaches, or teammates may leave you feeling misunderstood.
You might have flashes of brilliance and creativity in your sport but struggle to channel them consistently.
Balancing your athletic career with personal life, studies, or long-term plans feels chaotic.
Frequent injuries or extended rehab plans disrupt your momentum, leaving you frustrated and restless.
If you live with hypermobility, a common trait among ADHDers, it can increase your injury risk and make recovery even more complex.
You know you have world-class potential, but sometimes you can’t quite access it when it matters most.
And when the time comes to transition from professional sport into the corporate or business world, the loss of structure, identity, and adrenaline can feel overwhelming.
When I work with athletes, I help them understand their ADHD brain so they can leverage it as a competitive edge. I collaborate closely with physiotherapists, coaches, and support teams to ensure their rehabilitation, training, and mindset are aligned. We embed focus, emotional regulation, and structure into their routines—while preserving the passion and drive essential for their success. With effective strategies, athletes not only reach peak performance but also build balance, resilience, and confidence that benefit them during their careers and beyond. Coaching guides them to uncover their full potential and flourish by capitalising on the unique strengths of their ADHD brain.
Let’s add some helpful organisation tools for one of the most important periods of your life
You’re really very clever, so the project you procrastinated on ends up turning out quite well.
You imagine how much better it could have been if you'd just taken more time and planned more effectively… instead of waiting until the last minute.
You're good with subjects that interest you, but even then, overwhelm can set in.
Organising a project or a paper feels overwhelming.
What others are doing seems so much more fascinating, so you go out with your friends and neglect your work.
It’s not that you don't care; it’s just that something inside you stops you from focusing on what's important when it really matters to pay attention.
You know you're not living up to your potential, and so you criticise yourself, promising to get things together and knuckle down! The “self-discipline programme” works for a while but then becomes exhausting, and the cycle repeats.
You wonder, “what is wrong with me?”
University Students
What if you could harness the abilities within you and direct them towards what truly matters, while still having fun, enjoying your life, and achieving the success you know you are capable of? Wouldn't that be a worthwhile conversation to have with a professional coach?
Entrepreneurs
You’ve escaped the tyranny of working for someone else, and now working on executing a vision that ebbs and flows in clarity and demand.
There are many things you could do and need to do, frequently all at once.
You’re relying on others and may feel responsible for the individuals that also rely upon you.
You're overwhelmed and feel like you don't know where to turn or what to do next.
You feel disorganised.
It takes you much longer to complete tasks than it should. You realise you're probably undercharging and earning less than you could.
Everything is accessible and open, but the downside is that you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin.
You might even think to yourself, Am I missing my old BOSS???
When I work with entrepreneurs, I assist them in discovering how they can be most effective, developing a flexible structure and a tailor-made solution. We foster an inspiring balance between life, work, and relationships that can be both energising and motivating. When the passion is identified, aligned, and fostered, there is greater fulfilment and enhanced wellbeing.
Later-in-Life Diagnosis
Hearing the words "you have ADHD" in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or even 60s can feel like a tidal wave.
Suddenly, much of your past begins to make sense.
You realise that the struggles with focus, procrastination, or organisation weren’t about laziness—they were symptoms of ADHD.
You might feel grief for the years spent criticising yourself or working twice as hard to “mask” your struggles.
Perhaps you’re angry that no one noticed sooner or resentful of the opportunities you believe you missed.
You may also feel relief—finally, there’s an explanation. But with this new clarity comes uncertainty: What do I do now? How do I rebuild with this knowledge?
You may find that rejection sensitivity still triggers self-criticism, even in adulthood.
Emotional regulation can feel harder than ever, especially while juggling work, family, or major life responsibilities.
Sometimes, despite your achievements, you still feel as though you’re “behind” compared to others.
When I work with clients diagnosed later in life, I help them rewrite their story. Together, we identify strengths they didn’t even realise they had, reframe old struggles with compassion, and develop practical tools that suit who they are now. With awareness and acceptance, it becomes possible to unmask, manage emotions, and create a life filled with clarity, purpose, and renewed confidence—regardless of age.
Recovering Addicts & Alcoholics
Recovery is already a journey on its own—but when ADHD is also in the mix, it can feel even more complex
You may have used alcohol or substances to quiet your racing thoughts or calm overwhelming emotions.
Now that you’re sober, the ADHD challenges feel louder than ever.
You might still struggle with impulsivity, routines, or staying present in daily life.
Sometimes cravings or urges resurface when you’re bored, stressed, or overstimulated.
You may carry guilt or shame about your past and battle rejection sensitivity in relationships.
Even in recovery, you might mask how hard things feel, trying to appear “fine” while inside you’re fighting to stay balanced.
Without a healthy outlet, emotions can spiral—leading to frustration, self-criticism, or thoughts of relapse.
You wonder: Can I really build a life I feel in control of, without falling back into old patterns?
When I work with individuals in recovery, I help them see that ADHD and addiction are closely linked—and that both can be managed with the right tools. Together, we build structures that support sobriety, enhance self-awareness, and create healthy outlets for energy and emotion. Coaching offers a safe, future-focused space where you can unmask, regulate emotions, and rebuild confidence—discovering joy and meaning in a life free from addiction.
