ADHD coaching is a practical, goal-focused approach that helps individuals with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence better understand how they think, build effective strategies, and create lasting change in their lives.

Creating and sticking to good habits is something many ADHDers struggle with, even when they’re highly motivated. Whether it’s exercising regularly, reading more, or practicing mindfulness, the initial burst of
Many people with ADHD come to coaching with goals or purposes around focus and executive function. Often these relate to home management or work place tasks and they are struggling
ADHD coaching is based on traditional coaching, which is a forward-focused process that helps someone understand where they are now, where they want to go, and what steps they can take to move forward.
Like all coaching, it involves questioning, listening and reflection, using established coaching models to help people work through challenges and make progress.
What makes ADHD coaching different is that it’s delivered through the lens of ADHD and neurodivergence. Alongside the traditional, non-directive coaching approach, it can also include more structure, guidance and practical support where needed.
This might involve offering strategies, sharing relevant knowledge about ADHD, or providing additional scaffolding to help clients stay focused, organised and on track.
The result is a flexible approach that combines traditional coaching with practical, supportive techniques to help neurodivergent individuals achieve their goals more effectively.
The ADHD coaching training course is designed for people from a wide range of backgrounds who want to support others more effectively.
Many participants come from counselling or therapy backgrounds and are looking to add a more forward-focused, practical element to their work. Others join from fields such as education, healthcare, or the arts, often with a desire to support colleagues, clients or people within their wider network.
Some people go on to build their own coaching practice or business, while others use their coaching skills within an existing role, for example as a manager, practitioner, or part of a coaching or neurodiversity network within their organisation.
Overall, the course is suitable for anyone who wants to develop coaching skills and support neurodivergent individuals in a structured, practical and meaningful way.
No – you do not need to have ADHD to join the course.
While many people who take part do have ADHD, often discovering it later in life and feeling motivated to help others, the course is open to a much wider group.
Participants may be neurodivergent in different ways, or not neurodivergent at all. Many people join because they want to better support friends, family members, colleagues or clients who are neurodivergent, and already have a strong sense of empathy and interest in this area.
Having ADHD can provide useful lived experience, but it is not a requirement. What matters most is a genuine interest in understanding neurodivergence and a desire to support others effectively.
No – you do not need any previous coaching qualifications to join the course.
This is a foundational coaching course, designed to teach you the core principles, models and techniques you need to start coaching effectively. As part of the training, you’ll learn both traditional coaching approaches and how to apply them through the lens of ADHD and neurodivergence.
Because the course is accredited by professional coaching bodies, it follows recognised competency frameworks, meaning you’ll be developing the same core skills expected of coaches within the wider profession.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to work in a range of coaching contexts, whether that’s more traditional, non-directive coaching, or a more structured and supportive approach when working with ADHD clients.
It provides a strong foundation to begin coaching, with the option to continue developing your skills further through additional training and professional development over time.Â
This course is accredited by two recognised professional coaching bodies: the Association for Coaching and the Universal Coaching Alliance.
In the UK, courses can be accredited either through academic institutions (such as City & Guilds or ILM) or through professional coaching bodies. This course is accredited through the professional coaching route, which focuses specifically on coaching standards and practice.
Accreditation by these bodies means the course follows established codes of ethics and recognised competency frameworks. It also reflects a commitment to high-quality training, including elements such as supervision and professional standards that are important within the coaching profession.
While some courses may carry general CPD accreditation, this is not the same as being accredited by a professional coaching body. Professional accreditation ensures the course meets the standards expected within the coaching industry and provides a more robust and trusted foundation for practice.

There is a wide range of ongoing support available after completing the course, helping you continue developing as a coach and stay connected with others.
You’ll become part of an active community of coaches, with opportunities to stay in touch through group chats, a LinkedIn network, and a wider professional community of ADHD and neurodiversity coaches. This includes access to forums, events such as coffee mornings, and collaborative spaces where coaches can share ideas and resources.
You’ll also have access to additional learning opportunities, including webinars and an annual conference, as well as free group supervision sessions for a period after completing the course.
Alongside this, there is ongoing informal support, with trainers and peers available to connect with as you continue to build your coaching practice.
Overall, the aim is to provide a supportive professional environment that continues beyond the course itself, helping you grow in confidence and stay connected within the coaching community.
ADHD coaching differs from therapy and mentoring in both its focus and how it is delivered.
Therapy and counselling are typically focused on the past, helping individuals understand and work through previous experiences. ADHD coaching, by contrast, is forward-focused, it concentrates on where someone is now, where they want to go, and how to help them move forward in a practical and structured way.
Mentoring shares some similarities with coaching, particularly in its forward-looking approach. However, mentoring is often more ongoing and relationship-based, sometimes continuing over a longer period of time.
Coaching, on the other hand, is usually more structured and time-bound, often taking place over a defined number of sessions. It is designed to help individuals make progress towards specific goals within a focused timeframe.
ADHD coaching may also include elements of guidance and shared understanding, particularly when working with neurodivergent clients, but its core remains a goal-oriented, future-focused approach that supports individuals to move forward effectively.

Having ADHD can provide useful lived experience, but it is not a requirement. What matters most is a genuine interest in understanding neurodivergence and a desire to support others effectively.
On this course, you’ll learn how to become an ADHD coach, developing the core skills, tools and techniques needed to support clients effectively.
Alongside learning practical coaching methods, you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence, including how different people experience it and how it can impact their lives.
A key part of the course involves learning through experience — you’ll both practise coaching and be coached yourself. This helps build confidence, self-awareness and a deeper understanding of how coaching works in practice.
Many participants also find they learn more about themselves throughout the process, as well as how to work effectively with others in a supportive group environment.
Overall, the course combines practical coaching skills with personal development and a deeper understanding of neurodiversity, creating a well-rounded foundation for working as an ADHD coach.
Tune in for thoughtful conversations, practical insights and real-world reflections on ADHD coaching, neurodiversity, professional practice and supporting clients with confidence.
