ADHD Coaching

Coaching that works with your ADHD brain - not against it

ADHD can impact how we think, feel, communicate, and move through the world - and no two experiences are the same. Whether you're a teen struggling with focus, a young adult feeling overwhelmed by expectations, or a parent supporting someone with ADHD (or managing your own), this is a space where you can feel understood and supported.

ADHD coaching is about building awareness, self-compassion, and simple strategies that fit how your brain actually works.

Together, we explore what’s getting in the way and uncover strengths you may not even realise you have.

For Parents, Teens, and Young Adults With (or Exploring) ADHD

ADHD coaching is all about understanding your brain, working with it (not against it), and creating systems that support your strengths. I support clients in building self-awareness, managing emotional ups and downs, and finding practical tools for focus, motivation, and follow-through - always tailored to your unique needs.

Clients can self-book or attend following a referral from a psychologist, psychiatrist, GP, or other health professional. However, no referral is required, and an ADHD diagnosis is not necessary to begin coaching.

Some of the areas we might explore in ADHD coaching include:

  • Understanding executive functioning and how it impacts everyday life

  • Emotional regulation and managing “big feelings”

  • Time blindness, procrastination, and creating systems that stick

  • Task initiation and follow-through (without burnout)

  • Organisation strategies that match your brain style

  • Self-talk and reframing unhelpful patterns

  • Communication and relationship dynamics

  • Parenting a teen or young adult with ADHD (or being one)

  • Reducing shame and building self-trust

  • Creating rhythms and routines that support energy and focus

Every session is tailored to the person I’m working with - there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re a teen, a young adult, or a parent, coaching is always grounded in understanding your brain and building tools that feel natural to you to use in your life.

I’m a certified coach with specialist training in ADHD, emotional wellbeing, and trauma-informed practice - and I’m also a parent who’s navigated ADHD in the teenage and young adult years firsthand. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to support your child while also managing your own emotions, responsibilities, and questions.

My coaching blends neuroscience, compassion, and practical tools to help you (and your family) move through these years with more calm, clarity, and connection.

Whether you’re here for yourself, your teen, or your young adult, you’ll find support that honours your lived experience and meets you where you are.

ADHD coaching is a space to be seen, understood, and supported in a way that truly fits you.

If you're curious, I offer a free intro call so we can explore whether this is the right next step for you.

There’s no pressure - just a conversation to help you decide what’s right for where you are now.

What is coaching, and how is it different from therapy or counselling?

Coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative process that helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward the life and relationships you want. Unlike therapy or counselling, which often explore past experiences to support healing, coaching is about where you are now and where you want to go.

As a certified ICF coach and ADHD coach, I work with parents, teens, young adults, and families to navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and tap into practical strategies that support growth, communication, and wellbeing.

Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions but can complement other support really well.

How do I know if coaching is right for me (or my child)?

Coaching is for anyone navigating a challenge, feeling stuck, or wanting more clarity or connection in everyday life.

If you're a parent wanting to feel more confident, a teen or young adult seeking direction, or a family looking for better communication, coaching offers a safe space to explore what's going on and move forward with support.

What happens in a coaching session?

Each session is tailored to your goals. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what simple, practical strategies could help.

You won't be told what to do, but you will be supported in finding what works best for you.

Can I book a discovery call to learn more?

Absolutely. I offer a free 15-minute intro call so we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether coaching is the right fit. There’s no pressure - just a chance to connect and explore your next steps.

Do you work with parents and teens separately or together?

Both. I am happy to work with you individually or together depending on your needs.

How much is a coaching session?

Coaching sessions are priced to reflect the time, care, and personalised support you receive - while remaining approachable for busy individuals and families.

Most ongoing sessions are $160 for 45 minutes, with first sessions at $200 for 60 minutes to give us more space to explore your goals.

Family sessions, which are longer and more in-depth, are usually $260 for 75–90 minutes.

I also offer multi-session packages at a reduced rate if you're looking for ongoing support. We can talk through the best option for your needs during your free intro call - there’s no pressure, just a chance to find the right fit for you or your family.

How long is a coaching session?

Most ongoing coaching sessions are 45 minutes, which allows time to explore challenges, build insight, and create practical next steps - without feeling overwhelming.

Many clients (especially parents, teens, young adults, and those with ADHD) find that this focused, manageable length works well with busy lives and attention spans.

First sessions are typically 60 minutes, giving us extra space to get to know each other, clarify your goals, and lay the foundations for our work together.

For family coaching or more in-depth sessions, we may schedule 75–90 minutes depending on your needs.

If you’re ever unsure what’s right for you, we’ll talk it through and find the right fit.

How often do we have coaching sessions?

To ensure you get the results you are looking for, I recommend weekly sessions for the first four sessions, moving to fortnightly or monthly after that depending on your needs. This will ensure you get the results you want faster. However, this is flexible depending on your individual circumstances.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. All coaching sessions are currently offered online via Telehealth (Zoom), making it easy and flexible to access support no matter where you're located. I work with clients across Australia and beyond.

Is there additional support between sessions?

Yes—if something comes up between sessions, you’re welcome to reach out via text or email for brief check-ins or questions.

For ADHD coaching, I also offer optional accountability support between sessions. This can include scheduled check-ins (by message or email) to help you stay on track with specific goals or action steps we’ve set together. It’s flexible, encouraging, and tailored to what works best for you.

Should I book coaching for myself or for my child?

That’s a common question. Sometimes the best place to start is with the parent, other times with the teen or young adult. We can talk through this in our free intro call and find a path that feels right for your family.

Can you coach both me and my teen or young adult?

Yes. I often work with parents and their children in separate individual sessions. This creates space for each person’s experience while allowing for growth in the parent-child dynamic as a whole.

Alternatively we can explore the family coaching option together if that meets your needs better.

What’s the difference between teen and young adult coaching?

Teen coaching focuses more on emotional regulation, identity, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Young adult coaching generally supports those navigating independence, life choices, pressure to “figure it out,” and developing a stronger sense of direction.

Do I need an official ADHD diagnosis to work with you?

Not at all. Coaching can be helpful whether you’ve been formally diagnosed, suspect ADHD, or are supporting someone who is neurodivergent. The focus is on understanding your unique brain and building strategies that support your day-to-day life.

How is ADHD coaching different from general coaching?

ADHD coaching focuses specifically on areas that tend to be challenging for ADHD brains - like time management, emotional regulation, focus, follow-through, and self-esteem.

As a certified ADHD coach, I use a strengths-based, neuroscience-informed approach that helps you work with your brain, not against it.

Do you work with both children and adults with ADHD?

I work with teens, young adults, and parents - either with ADHD themselves or parenting someone who is neurodivergent. The coaching process is always tailored to your age, goals, and lived experience.

Can ADHD coaching support parents of children with ADHD, even if the parent doesn’t have ADHD?

Absolutely. Coaching can help parents build greater understanding, reduce frustration, and find new ways to support their child while looking after their own emotional wellbeing too.

Can I access government funding for ADHD coaching in Australia?

Yes - if you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and are currently employed (including part-time or casual work), you may be eligible for government-funded coaching support through JobAccess, an Australian Government initiative.

To qualify, you need to:

  • Have a formal ADHD diagnosis

  • Be working at least 8 hours per week (in a paid role, including casual or part-time)

  • Need support that helps you perform your job more effectively or sustainably

This funding can cover coaching or strategy support related to:

  • Time management and planning

  • Emotional regulation and stress management

  • Communication skills

  • Workplace organisation and executive function support

  • Creating systems to reduce overwhelm and improve productivity

Coaching is delivered under the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF), which provides practical supports for employees with disability or neurodivergence.

How do I apply for ADHD coaching through JobAccess?

You or your employer can apply directly through the JobAccess website. The process includes:

  • Completing an online application or calling the JobAccess hotline

  • Providing confirmation of your diagnosis and employment

I can also support you or your employer with this process, including by providing documentation or outlining how coaching can help meet your work-related goals.

Please note there is no requirement to involve your employer in this process or to disclose your diagnosis to your employer.

Is this funding only available through your employer?

No. While coaching may be coordinated with your employer (especially if they’re providing support), individuals can also apply directly without any involvement with your employer.

What is your cancellation policy?

I ask for 48 hours notice to change or cancel an appointment to give me time to find someone else to fill your place.

Is coaching confidential?

Yes—coaching sessions are confidential. I provide a safe, private space for you to talk openly without judgment.

If you are a teen or young adult, what’s shared in coaching stays between us, unless you give me permission to share something with a parent or caregiver. The only exception is if I have serious concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else and I would discuss the next steps with you first wherever possible.

For parents: while I won’t share specific details of what your teen or young adult talks about, I can support you in understanding how to strengthen communication and connection at home.
