ADHD Coaching: Children/Young People (8-25)
This is my specialisation, with over 5 years working with many young people in this field, with full accreditation by the Association for Coaching, backed by deep research and lived experience.
An ADHD Coach is trained to support young people in understanding their ADHD, how it impacts them and why, as well as developing coping systems that help them thrive both at school and at home, working collaboratively with parents/carer and teachers; to reach their true potential.
Within a safe, supportive and caring coaching relationship, I build rapport easily, helping your child to learn to regulate their emotions better, strengthen their executive function, and build confidence in their abilities, overcome obstacles; boosting their depleted self-esteem.
‘In summary, Adam’s work has had a deeply positive impact…’
‘… not only by supporting x’s complex ADHD behaviours and encouraging him to express himself more openly, but also by educating staff and parents alike. His thoughtful, child-centred approach is helping to create a much more supportive environment around x, both at school and at home.’
— School teacher
The right support at the right time
Support to young people who are not in Special Needs schools, or do not have EHCPs, is far from good (NHS ADHD Task Force Report July 2025)) so many of the 900,000 young people diagnosed will not be given the support they need. Often schools are ill-equipped to help and it often arrives too late or the wrong sort; early intervention is the key.
I can help your child - and you.
It’s a quite unique coaching relationship, unlike any other and requires collaboration, care, honesty and investment.
‘Adam's coaching has been absolutely transformational for one of our ADHD students…’
‘… previously unable to talk to adults, even those known to him, he now converses with ease and has been able to approach Sixth Form providers with detailed questions about the courses they offer. This would have been impossible before Adam's input.’
— Assistant Head
‘You played a huge part in making the difference to the boys…’
‘… all of them benefitted from having another voice and someone that was there just for them. I think you had a huge impact on all of them to be honest, and I am convinced that neither x, y or z would be where they are today without you.’
— Dep Headmaster
‘Thank you Adam. X has had a good day…’
‘… she came out of school happy and had a small amount of being angry; probably the heat, but she recovered from it quickly and became calm again.’
