Living in a world designed for neurotypical individuals can feel overwhelming for those with ADHD. From juggling time management to navigating relationships, the challenges can seem endless. That’s where ADHD coaching steps in—a personalised, collaborative approach to help neurodivergent individuals thrive.

ADHD Coaching: A Game-Changer for Neurodivergent Lives

ADHD coaching is a person-centred practice that focuses on building practical, sustainable strategies for managing ADHD. Unlike therapy, which often explores past experiences and emotional healing, coaching is action-oriented. It’s about working with your unique brain, not against it, to create systems that support your goals and values.

As a queer ADHD coach based in the UK, I specialise in helping neurodivergent individuals tackle challenges like:

Relationships: Whether you’re navigating ethical non-monogamy, fostering intimacy, or setting boundaries, ADHD coaching provides a supportive space to explore and strengthen your connections. I work with individuals from diverse relationship structures, including monogamous, non-monogamous, and everything in between. I also hold space for those on the ace spectrum, recognising the unique experiences of asexual individuals and the importance of platonic relationships in building fulfilling lives.
Work-Life Balance: Managing time, avoiding burnout, and creating ADHD-friendly routines.
Emotional Regulation: Understanding sensory needs and developing self-care strategies.

Therapy vs. ADHD Coaching: What’s the Difference?

While therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, ADHD coaching is about moving forward. It’s a partnership that emphasizes:

Practical Tools: Building strategies for time management, organisation, and focus.
Goal Setting: Identifying what matters most to you and creating a roadmap to get there.
Celebrating Wins: Recognising progress, no matter how small, to build momentum and confidence.

With over 5,000 hours of experience working with neurodivergent clients, I use trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming practices to create a safe, inclusive space for exploration and growth.

Why ADHD Coaching Matters for the LGBTQIA+ Community

For LGBTQIA+ individuals with ADHD, life often comes with an added layer of complexity. Navigating a world that marginalises both queer and neurodivergent identities can feel isolating and overwhelming. ADHD coaching offers a space where you can explore these challenges without judgement, working towards solutions that honour your authentic self.

My approach is rooted in intersectionality, recognising how your identities intersect and influence your experiences. Whether it’s tackling workplace challenges, unmasking in relationships, or embracing non-conforming structures like relationship anarchy, coaching provides a safe, affirming environment to explore what works for you.

As a queer, neurodivergent coach, I know how important it is to feel seen and understood. That’s why I offer financial inclusivity through scholarships for marginalised groups, including queer, BIPOC, disabled, and low-income individuals.

Who Is ADHD Coaching For?

ADHD coaching is ideal for anyone seeking ADHD support in the UK, particularly those who feel stuck or overwhelmed by societal expectations. Whether you’re navigating stress, struggling with organisation, or exploring your authentic self, coaching can be a game-changer.

Why Choose ADHD Coaching?
