From the author of Travel into the ADHD Mind, this insightful guide targets life coaches, executive coaches, counsellors, and psychotherapists specialising in ADHD coaching.
Following the success of her first book for therapists, the author shifts focus to coaching, providing a grounded approach to working with ADHD clients. Clear, easy to navigate, and practical, this book offers not only tools but also a structured sequence to help practitioners navigate the complex landscape of ADHD coaching.
What distinguishes ADHD coaching? This book explores that question clearly—beyond traits and subtypes; it offers a structured approach for clients to manage challenges and find practical solutions to issues with ADHD in daily life: emotional dysregulation, sensory overload, masking, procrastination, low motivation, and internalised shame. It highlights key distinctions between ADHD coaching and general coaching, and between coaching and counselling, aiding professionals in defining their roles confidently.
This isn’t just a theoretical overview. The author introduces practical diagrams such as the Sensory Economy, Procrastination Hexagon, and Masking Matrix—visual tools that help coaches understand their clients’ internal worlds and create meaningful strategies together.
Chapters guide the reader through each stage of the ADHD coaching process: from contracting and sensory balance to emotional regulation, limiting beliefs, time management, motivation, and masking. Each section is packed with practical tools, coaching questions, and ready-to-use strategies that can be applied immediately in sessions.
Throughout the book, the author encourages coaches to work flexibly and compassionately—providing structure without rigidity and guidance without prescription. It challenges standard approaches and empowers coaches to create personalised pathways that meet their clients’ needs.
Whether you are starting or refining your work, this is a hands-on, ADHD-informed coaching companion to help clients build lives that work for them, not just around them.
