ADHD Coaching & Support

Neurodivergence is part of the world I know closely, through both my personal life and my professional work. 

 

And, Often what we need most is room to soften toward ourselves—to meet our own experience with compassion.

​

I bring this familiarity to coaching, while staying curious about the experiences that are unique to you and what matters in your life without reducing everything to a set of symptoms or strategies.

​

ADHD can shape far more than productivity. It can influence how you experience attention, motivation, emotions, relationships, expectations, time, overwhelm, transitions, and even your understanding of yourself.


We may explore executive functioning, emotional regulation, motivation, overwhelm, transitions, relationships, self-expectations, and the expectations you have absorbed from others.

​

And when practical support would be useful, we can build structures, systems, routines, and ways of working that fit your actual life.

 

The aim isn't to become better at forcing yourself into approaches that don't work for you. It is to understand yourself more fully and develop ways of living and functioning that support your needs, values, priorities, and the way you think and thrive.

My Approach 

My Approach 

At the centre of my work is curiosity.

​

I don't assume that I know what your life should look like, and you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to change.

 

We can start with what is here.

​

I bring warmth, curiosity, and close attention to our conversations. My role is to create a space where you can say the things you haven't quite found words for yet, follow thoughts without having to know where they are going, question assumptions you have lived with for a long time, and be honest about things that may feel contradictory, uncertain, or difficult to make sense of.

​

There is room for complexity here.

​

There is also room for humour, humanity, and the ordinary messiness of figuring things out.

​

My approach is integrative and relational. My graduate study in Integrative Psychology, coaching training, and ongoing professional development draw on perspectives including somatic, narrative, cognitive, parts-based, existential, attachment, and trauma-informed approaches.

​

You don't need to know those frameworks for us to work together. They inform the questions I ask, what I listen for, and the different ways we might make sense of what you are experiencing.

​

In practice, we might explore the stories you hold about yourself, the beliefs and assumptions influencing your choices, what you notice in your body, patterns that emerge in relationships, or larger questions about identity, meaning, values, and how you want to live.

 

We may look backward when understanding earlier experiences helps make sense of something happening now. But the purpose is not simply to understand your past. It is to give you greater freedom and choice in the present.

​

I also bring the structure and forward movement of professional coaching.

​

Sometimes our work will be deeply reflective. Sometimes it will be practical. Often it will be both.

​

We might spend time understanding why something feels difficult and then consider what conversation, boundary, experiment, structure, or next step could help you move forward.

​

There is no pressure to turn every insight immediately into action. Change has its own pace. But when you are ready, we can work together to bring what you are learning about yourself into the way you actually live.

​

Coaching vs. Therapy

 

My work is coaching rather than psychotherapy.

​

That means our work is oriented toward greater self-understanding, choice, growth, and the way you want to live moving forward.

 

Psychological perspectives may inform my approach, and past experiences may be relevant to understanding the present, but I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

​

For some people, coaching and therapy can also complement one another. If something arises that would be better supported within therapy or another form of care, we can talk openly about that.
