ADHD Life Coaching

There is a great deal of information and support online for people who have ADHD. Coaching is about having a person to support you who knows how to help you personalize a routine for yourself. Most ADHD coaches have years of training and experience in working with people like yourself. There are important decisions to be made about what will best serve you. What works for one person with ADHD is unlikely to work exactly the same way for you.

ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Ask yourself, do the below descriptions describe some of what causes your distress?

IF SO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE...

Lack of Focus

No matter how hard you try, you seem to have too many thoughts at one time to focus on just one thing.

Easily Bored

You know no matter how hard you try, you seem to have too many thoughts at one time to focus.

Time Blindness

No matter how hard you try, you seem to have too many thoughts at one time to focus on just one thing.

Trouble Getting Started

Once you get things started, you get them done, yet you waste a lot of time thinking about it.

Underachievement

No matter how hard you try, you seem to have too many thoughts at one time to focus on just one thing.

Chronic Chaos

You have the desire for order in your life yet chaos shows up uninvited on a regular basis.

ADHD is so much more than a distraction, lack of focus, and/or the need for stimulation. It impacts every single part of your life, often in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way. Coaching helps with the ability to leverage the positive and manage the negative aspects of ADHD.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

An ADHD diagnosis is just the beginning! Understanding and acceptance are critical to the process of creating a fulfilling life that includes this part of you rather than trying to hide it. It is real. There are many treatments.
