Why ADHD Coaching?
What is Coaching?
Coaches use various techniques to support individuals in clarifying their goals, exploring possibilities and developing strategies for success. The coaching process is collaborative and client-centred, and focuses on empowering individuals to find their own solutions.
Why ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaches have a deep understanding of ADHD, its characteristics and how it affects individuals in various aspects of their lives. They have specialised knowledge around attention, impulsivity, organisation, time management and motivation. ADHD coaches work with clients to identify areas of difficulty, set realistic goals and develop strategies to overcome challenges.
What are some common focus areas in ADHD Coaching?
Executive Functioning Skills
These are the cognitive processes responsible for planning, organising, prioritising, time management and self-regulation. ADHD coaches can help clients develop strategies to improve these skills, and create systems to support better organisation and productivity. These may include techniques for improving focus and attention, developing effective study habits, creating routines, implementing organisational systems, managing reactive and impulsive behaviours, and enhancing communication and social skills.
Goal Setting and Accountability
ADHD coaches assist clients in setting clear, achievable goals and provide ongoing support and accountability to stay on track. They help clients break down large goals into smaller, manageable steps, and assist them in working through obstacles that may arise during the process.
Emotional Support and Motivation
ADHD coaches recognise the emotional impact of living with ADHD and provide a supportive environment in which clients can freely express their feelings, frustrations and concerns. ADHD coaches help clients develop strategies to manage feelings of stress and overwhelm, boost self-esteem and maintain motivation throughout their journey.
