An ADHD coach is a professional with advanced skills and training in coaching skills and understanding of ADHD. My role as an ADHD coach is to support my clients step by step in minimizing their challenges with ADHD while increasing their appreciation and confidence in their strengths. Coaches like myself who specialize in this area, help you understand how inattention, impulsivity and distractability has plays a role in your life. As an ADHD Coach, I bring to the relationship a unique understanding for the challenges and talents of persons living ADHD. Whether your goals are to become more organized, decrease your distractability or achieve more success, as your ADHD coach, I am there to encourage and support you every step of the way!

How can I tell if I am ready for Coaching?

If you are not sure if you are ready for coaching, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:
  • Have you tried everything you can think of to make changes on your own and are still struggling with ongoing challenges with ADHD?
  • Are your exhausted and discouraged from the repeated struggles to make positive changes in your life, without any results?
  • Do you feel at times as though you are walking on eggshells?
  • Are you tired of disappointing others?
  • Do you feel as though you have no control over your life?
  • Do you often feel alone and isolated?
  • Do you feel that things will be even worse in a year from now if you do nothing to change it?
  • Are you ready to make the necessary changes in order to redirect your life towards more balance and happiness?

If you answered “yes” to at least six of the eight questions you are ready to take the next steps towards coaching and having the life you deserve.

How Coaching Works

Coaching is usually done one-on-one either in person or over the phone. ADHD Coaching involves a series of sessions that combine learning about your own ADHD traits, developing the ability to create strategies that work and taking action towards reaching your desired goals. During the coaching meeting, I help to facilitate the processes through questioning, perspective changes, and accountability. Between the coaching sessions, you further your learning by accomplishing personal challenges that have been jointly designed between you and me. Essential to coaching, is the understanding that you are in charge of determining what is best for you. My role is to keep alive your enthusiasm and commitment to successfully make the changes you desire in your life.
