Your ADHD Coaching Questions, Answered

Do I have to be diagnosed with ADHD to work with you?

No you don't need to gave a diagnosis to work with me. It might be that you're on the waitlist to get one, just investigating the idea because someone in your personal or professional life brought it up, or you might have self diagnosed. All of these are totally fine.

Will ADHD coaching actually help me?

Many people find coaching effective in helping them develop strategies, manage symptoms, improve their focus, organisation and productivity. Its effectiveness will depend on the individual. It's also not a replacement for medical treatment.

Isn't coaching expensive?

Coaching can be an investment, and it's essential to consider the long term benefits in can provide. Learning your strengths, how to overcome obstacles and how to navigate ADHD can be invaluable skills you will use for the rest of your life. 

How much time does coaching take?

The time commitment varies based on individual needs and goals. Weekly sessions are what I recommend, this ensures that we can work on small manageable goals without getting overwhelmed, losing focus or momentum.  Coaching is a rewarding process, however it does require consistency and commitment as it's not a quick fix. In our initial consultation we can chat about what this commitment looks like.

Who do you coach?

Don't worry, I don't have a type! Most of my clients are women in their 20-30's but as long as you're over 18 I'm sure we'll get on great!

Do I have to be in Australia?

Not at all! I'm located in Victoria, Australia but because all my consults are video call you can be anywhere in the world and a lot of my clients are. When you click on the link to book the times will be automatically converted into your timezone and currency. 

What sort of topics do people bring to coaching?

Some of the common ones are:

  • Time management

  • Organisation

  • Procrastination

  • Recent diagnosis

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

Whilst there are some similarities, this is a really basic break down of the differences. Please be aware that coaching isn't a replacement for medical advice or treament.  

Therapy (Psychology or Counselling) may:

  • Work with past issues

  • Work with deep trauma

  • Teach Psychoeducation

  • Is able to assist with a broad range of mental health issues and diagnosis


Coaching will:

  • Work with present and future topics

  • Support people to increase their self awareness

  • Support discovery of everyday obstables and barriers

  • Be a sounding board for exploring choice

​

Why is it important to choose a certified coach?

I'm a proud member of the International Coaching Federation, working towards an Associate Certified Coach credential. This means that any coach displaying this membership is upholding the ICF's thorough code of ethics and values. Knowing that can give you the peace of mind that I've had appropriate training to give you the outcomes you deserve.
