NAVIGATING LIFE & WORK WITH ADHD?
Most people think that ADHD support is about quiet spaces and extra time. Well, it’s more complicated than that.
If you are someone who lives with ADHD, you’ll know that a lot of your valuable time, energy and talent are consumed by some of the following challenges:
Task initiation
Follow through
Ruminating thoughts
Perfectionism
Rejection sensitivity
Too many exciting priorities
Self critical tendencies
Relationships
Inconsistency
A sense of chaos
Distractions
Decision paralysis
Impulsivity
Addictions
Overthinking
Unfinished projects
The good news is that coaching really helps.
You will learn to make the most of your neuro-difference.
You will learn how to think and talk about what you are struggling with. So that your mind is calmer, and your ‘‘to do’’ list gets done.
Because no one should work twice as hard.
WHAT HAPPENS IN ADHD COACHING?
NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
The confidential, neutral, facilitated thinking space is an opportunity to say out loud what feels heavy - without career limiting consequences.
This immediately alleviates anxiety, reduces the cognitive load and improves wellbeing.
If it’s useful and relevant to your experience, we’ll explore concepts such as heightened self-critical tendencies and rejection sensitive dysphoria.
We can on the optimal zone of functioning (window of tolerance) theory so that you can monitor and regulate your emotional wellbeing.
BEHAVIOURS & HABITS
I can guide you through some simple cognitive behaviour coaching techniques to help you understand why you do what you do. Your logical brain will love this.
We can identify which of your habits and behaviour patterns are outdated and no longer serve you well, and replace them with an upgraded version.
DEEP DIVE INTO EXECUTIVE FUNCTION
We pay attention to the unique talents and strengths you bring. Then we focus on the areas of executive functioning that are your areas of difficulty.
This could be any combination of task initiation, planning, organising, prioritisation, working memory, task initiation or impulse control. My clients with ADHD are typically overwhelmed by the number of competing priorities and exciting opportunities. We work together to decide what priorities deserve your attention.
KNOWING YOUR ADHD STUFF
Unless you’re already up to speed with this, we can talk about dopamine signalling, the TPN (task productive network) and the DMN (default mode network) and how to outsmart the toggle between them.
We might want to consider how the systems (family, education, different workplaces, culture) you have been part of have shaped your identity.
With these insights, we’ll experiment with a range of techniques and tools to help you work more effectively.
COACHING OUTCOMES
Coaching helps you decide what deserves your attention.
It’s a combination of: Talking + Theory (light touch) + Techniques. You decide how much of each of the three elements you want in our coaching sessions.
Understand what drains you: I help you pinpoint which tasks, situations, or expectations make your work feel heavy — and why. That insight shows exactly where to focus change.
Discover your strengths: Coaching reveals the skills and patterns that energise you so you can use them more often and more strategically.
Identify the supports you need: Together we map practical supports — tools, boundaries, or accommodations — that let you do your best work.
Build prioritising and organisation skills: Coaching guides you to choose what matters now, breaks work into manageable steps, and keeps momentum.
Feel happier and more in control: As overwhelm drops and systems and supports are in place, you’ll experience more satisfaction, less stress, and greater confidence managing workload and life.
Coaching is practical, collaborative, and tailored to you — it gives clear steps and ongoing accountability so you move from stuck to steady progress.
