Get coaching

ADHD coaching can be an invaluable resource for managing symptoms and improving focus, organisation, and time management.

What is ADHD coaching?

ADHD coaching helps individuals with ADHD develop strategies for managing daily challenges. Coaches work with you to set goals, create action plans, and build skills to stay organised and focused.

Research coaches specialising in ADHD

Look for a coach who has specific training and experience in ADHD. You can search online, ask your GP for recommendations, or contact UK-based ADHD organisations like ADHD Foundation or ADHD UK for referrals.

Consider format and availability

Coaching can take place in person, over the phone, or online. Choose a format that suits your schedule. Some coaches offer one-off sessions, while others provide ongoing support, so you can find the best fit for your needs.

Check credentials and experience

Make sure the coach has the appropriate qualifications, such as certification from the International Coach Federation (ICF) or specific ADHD coaching organisations. It’s also helpful if the coach has experience working with adults or students with ADHD.

Arrange an initial consultation

Many coaches offer a free or low-cost initial consultation. This is a great opportunity to discuss your needs, ask about their approach and experience, and assess if you feel comfortable with them.

Consider financial support

Coaching fees can vary. Check if your private health insurance policy covers coaching services, or explore funding options through local ADHD support groups. Some coaches may offer sliding scale fees based on income.

ADHD coaching can help you develop personalised strategies for managing symptoms and achieving your goals. Take the time to find a coach who understands your needs and can offer the support you require.

Consider Access to Work support

Access to Work can help you get or stay in work if you have a physical or mental health condition or disability.

The support you get will depend on your needs. Through Access to Work, you can apply for:

  • a grant to help pay for practical support with your work
  • support with managing your mental health at work
  • money to pay for communication support at job interviews
