ADHD coaching services

ADHD coaching is a specialized type of coaching that is facilitated by a coach that has a deep understanding of ADHD and how it may interact in your life. Coaching is centered around a collaborative partnership where there is space to have a non-judgemental conversation, to learn more about how your ADHD brain works, and to implement strategies that work with your brain rather than against it.

Anyone diagnosed with ADHD or who believes they have ADHD traits can benefit from ADHD coaching. This includes teens, adults, and even seniors. Parents, teachers, spouses and colleagues/managers who support someone with ADHD can also find value in these sessions.

While both counselling and coaching offer support, they have different approaches. Counselling is therapeutic and focuses on looking back to support healing. Coaching has a wellness focus that uses practical strategies and tools to look forward in a solution-focused and action-orientated manner.

No, you don't need an official diagnosis. If you suspect you have ADHD or face challenges that you believe are related to ADHD, coaching is beneficial. In fact coaching is beneficial to anyone and everyone who wants to take action on things that matter to them!

During a coaching session, you are in control and set the agenda for discussion. Sessions follow a general structure where you have an opportunity to raise a topic for discussion, which is then explored. With careful listening and curiosity, a coach will support you to develop clarity around your intentions, choices and actions, and support you to work towards outcomes that feel purposeful and satisfying.

The frequency of coaching sessions varies depending on individual needs. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others might prefer bi-weekly or monthly check-ins. It's tailored to what works best for you.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a top priority. Your privacy is respected and maintained at all times by Kim, who abides by the ICF and PAAC Code of Ethics requirements for coaching confidentiality.

No, while ADHD coaching can assist those facing challenges specific to ADHD, it also focuses on emphasizing and leveraging an individual's personal strengths, dreams, and goals.

Topics discussed in a coaching session are led by you. Typically sessions focus on areas of life that feel difficult or unsatisfying for you that you would like to change, or they can focus on something new that you may like to action. Topics are generally varied but for many AHDH'ers there are consistent themes involving motivation, getting started on tasks, balancing commitments, impulse control, improving self esteem, managing time, sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress management and relationships.

Outcomes vary based on individual intentions and actions. However, some common benefits include an improved understanding of your ADHD brain, increased satisfaction from using personal strengths, enhanced decision-making skills, and greater self-confidence.

The journey is yours. While Kim might suggest tools or exercises, your actions outside the sessions are entirely up to you and making change takes work.

Kim strives to be available during work hours and is receptive to contact between sessions if required. This can be arranged on an individual basis. However, remember that coaching isn't a crisis service.

Typically, 3-4 months. But every journey is unique. You're free to determine the length of your coaching journey.
