What is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaching is a specialised form of coaching designed to support individuals with ADHD in managing the challenges they face and leveraging their strengths. It focuses on practical strategies and personalised support to help clients improve their overall quality of life.
ADHD coaching offers numerous benefits for individuals with ADHD, helping them navigate challenges and unlock their full potential. It helps to build self-awareness, boost confidence, and individuals can learn to set and achieve meaningful goals, create structured routines, and gain a sense of control over their lives.
Ultimately, ADHD coaching empowers clients to manage their challenges and thrive in both personal and professional areas. It is a client-led process, where clients set the agenda and the coach guides the process while providing structure, accountability, and support.
What distinguishes a certified ADHD coach from the rest is, a certified ADHD coach has a highly specialised training allowing them to view the coaching conversations through an ADHD lens. This unique perspective and extensive knowledge of ADHD is essential when supporting individuals with ADHD.

What ADHD Coaching is not!
ADHD coaching is not about offering advice or giving quick fixes. It involves guiding individuals with ADHD to develop their own personalised strategies, tools, and skills to better manage their challenges and enhance overall productivity and well-being. The focus is on empowerment, not on solving all problems for the client.
ADHD coaching is not a form of therapy or a substitute for medical treatment. It doesn’t focus on diagnosing or treating underlying mental health conditions, although it may complement other forms of therapy.
An ethical well trained coach will spend the session helping you figure out for yourself, what is the right way for you. Your coach should want the best for you, according to your own needs and goals. Your coach will help you to learn how to work alongside your brain instead of against it and using your strengths, in turn minimising ADHD specific challenge.
Please Note:
-
Coaches do not have all the answers.
-
Coaches are not meant to tell you what to do/give you advice.
-
Coaching is not about tips, tricks or hacks.
-
Coaching does not replace other forms of ADHD management such as counselling or medication.

Ethical & Effective Coaching
CAD A RÁITEAS EILE FAOI A TURAS
We understand that navigating life with ADHD can be complex, and when it comes to seeking support, knowing where to start can be just as overwhelming. With so many people offering advice, and the rise of self-proclaimed coaches without formal training, it’s easy to feel uncertain about what coaching actually is and who it’s truly for.
That’s why at ADHD Connections, we’re committed to transparency, integrity, and helping you find the support that genuinely fits your needs.
We believe deeply in the value of coaching and the real, lasting impact it can have. Your coaching experience should feel empowering, respectful, and rooted in your growth, and we’re here to help make that possible.
All of our coaches have been through the coaching process themselves. We know what it feels like to sit in your seat, and we’ve experienced firsthand the transformation that’s possible. Coaching helped us reduce everyday challenges, understand ourselves more fully, and build sustainable progress, and we want that for you too.
To support you in making informed choices, we encourage you to visit Divergent Nexus. You'll find practical guidance on what effective, ethical coaching should look like, how to set clear expectations, how to interview potential coaches, and what red flags to watch out for along the way.
