Strength-based Coaching for Adults with ADHD
1 / What is ADHD?
ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It is defined by ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, which can influence daily life in areas such as time management, organization, focus, emotional regulation, and productivity. The symptoms of ADHD vary from person to person, both in how they manifest and, in their severity, making each individual’s experience with ADHD unique.
2 / What is an ADHD Coach?
An ADHD life coach specializes in helping individuals with ADHD navigate the unique challenges of their ADHD symptoms and achieve personal and professional goals. An ADHD coach can provide a safe, supportive space to explore strategies for staying organized, improving focus, managing emotions, and moving past obstacles. Unlike therapists, ADHD coaches focus on practical solutions and skill-building rather than addressing underlying mental health issues.
3 / What is strengths-based coaching?
Strengths-based coaching is an approach that helps people focus on their natural abilities rather than their weaknesses. By building on existing talents, skills, and knowledge, this style of coaching supports greater success, motivation, and confidence while empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
4/ What is the difference between therapy & coaching?
Both therapy and coaching can both be helpful for people with ADHD, but they play different roles. Therapy is great for processing emotions, healing from the past, or managing mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, things that often overlap with ADHD. Coaching, on the other hand, is action-oriented. It focuses on building practical skills, creating systems that work for your brain, and helping you follow through on your goals. While therapy often asks, “Why is this happening?” coaching asks, “What can we do next?” For many people with ADHD, coaching provides the structure, encouragement, and accountability needed to move forward with more clarity and confidence.
5/ Can ADHD Coaching really help?
Yes it can! Research has shown that ADHD coaching leads to improvements in ADHD symptoms. It contributes to improving the client's well-being, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. In addition, clients generally report high satisfaction with coaching and the ability to maintain their gains.
6/ How do I know if ADHD Coaching for me?
While ADHD coaching has proven to be effective, it is not for everyone. In order for ADHD to be successful you need to be ready. Want to find out if your ready? Take our readiness survey.
7/ How long does ADHD Coaching take?
I ask all new clients to start with a three-month commitment, meeting at least every other week. After our second session, we can revisit the schedule and adjust it to fit your needs. Some clients prefer weekly sessions, others meet every two weeks or once a month. Many also return for “tune-up” sessions whenever life throws something new their way. Whatever pace works best for you, the length and rhythm of our coaching partnership is always client-led.
8/ My ADHD can feel overwhelming. How will I know where to even start?
The ADHD Life Wheel is a simple tool that provides a clear picture of how different areas of your life—like work, relationships, health, and daily routines—are going. By completing the exercise, you can quickly see where you feel most out of balance and where you’d like to make changes. It’s a helpful starting point that makes it easier to focus coaching sessions on the areas that matter most to you. You can download a free copy here.
9/ What's a typical coaching session like?
Each coaching session is a collaborative space where you set the agenda. We can pick up where we left off, review progress on your goals or you can bring what’s most important to you at the moment—whether it’s a new challenge you’re facing, a goal you’re working toward, or something that’s just feeling stuck. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way, identify strengths and strategies that work for you, and create a plan that feels doable and aligned with your values.
​
Sessions are judgment-free, supportive, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity and confidence. You’ll leave each session with practical steps, fresh insights, and a stronger understanding of your self and your values.
