Adult ADHD coaching

What is adult ADHD coaching? 

ADHD coaching focuses on giving you the practical tools needed to manage the work, academic, emotional, and personal issues caused by ADHD. 

In addition to the core challenges of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity, many adults with ADHD lack healthy executive function skills. 

Executive function refers to the high-level cognitive skills essential for planning, organizing, making decisions, regulating emotions, and learning from past experiences. 

Your coach serves as a collaborative partner as you identify your primary challenges and create personal goals. Then, they support your efforts with information, encouragement, and accountability.

What should I expect during adult ADHD coaching? 

Your ADHD coaching begins by exploring your emotions, behaviors, and the many facets of your life, pinpointing the problems you want to improve with coaching. 

You work together with your coach to create goals. Your goals may target any issue, whether you have a long-term career goal or need help with specific issues like poor organization, procrastination, or controlling anger. 

After identifying the goals you want to achieve, your coach helps you define the steps needed to reach that goal, establishing a timeline for completing each step. 

They teach essential skills, recommend ways to build motivation, and keep you focused on the daily activities needed to accomplish each step. 

Regular meetings are an important part of adult ADHD coaching. Checking in on a routine basis ensures you stay on task and also gives you time to assess your progress, ask questions, and make adjustments to the plan when needed to meet your needs.
