About ADHDaptive Coaching

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, which is diagnosed when two or more areas of a person’s life are significantly impacted by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity. 

The diagnosis itself is a very rigid set of criteria, if you don’t meet the threshold, even by one, you won’t get a diagnosis. 

Treatment should be holistic and includes medication, therapy, coaching and practical adjustments in the workplace or home. You don't need a formal diagnosis of ADHD to seek help with the traits commonly associated with the condition.

Coaching is a partnership between the coach and the individual, working together to explore challenges, identify strengths, and develop practical solutions. Traditional coaching doesn’t work well for people with ADHD, Due to the differences in how our brains work, individuals with ADHD require personalised and tailored solutions. 

Our nervous system, which is driven by interests, novelty, and dopamine, often motivates us differently than a neurotypical person. No two people with ADHD are the same and can respond completely differently to a neurotypical person in any given situation. Therefore, ADHD coaching needs to be through an ADHD lens to be meaningful and the goal is to provide support, strategies, and tools to help people manage their symptoms, improve executive functioning, and achieve their goals.

As a certified ADHD coach, I am not here to give you all the answers or give advice and I am not a medical practitioner.  Together, we will focus on executive functioning, active listening, and a varied toolkit. We will explore challenges in any aspect of life, including work, relationships, home and social challenges, and break things down into manageable chunks. We will explore your strengths, build on them and use these to control weaknesses. 

If you're ready to unlock your full potential and lead a more enriching and satisfying life, let's start this journey together. Contact me to learn more about how ADHD coaching can support you.
