What is ADHD Coaching?

According to The Institute for the Advancement of AD/HD Coaching,   “AD/HD coaching is a designed partnership that combines coaching skills with knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorder, a neurobiological condition. The coaching process enhances quality of life, improves performance and supports growth and change. The purpose of AD/HD coaching is to provide support, structure and accountability. Coach and client collaboratively explore strengths, talents, tools and new learning to increase self-awareness and personal empowerment. Together they design strategies and actions and monitor progress by creating accountability in line with goals and aspirations.”

How Does Coaching Work?

Coaching usually takes place via telephone and / or email unless arrangements have been made to meet in person. Sessions can be as frequent as daily check-ins or weekly/biweekly planning sessions. The duration of sessions can range from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. Although some coaches require a minimum commitment of three months, I provide coaching on an as needed basis. I’ve worked with clients for one session and as long as one year.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy deals with psychological and mental health issues and should be dealt with by a licensed professional. The primary focus of therapy is healing and confronting past issues. Coaching focuses on actions and setting future goals.  A coach’s  job is to facilitate growth and change through inquiry and self-exploration. Coaching cannot take the place of therapy and counseling.  Those suffering from severe mental health difficulties should seek the assistance of a trained therapist instead of a coach.
