Build a working life that suits your ADHD brain
A 12-session coaching programme for adults with ADHD, which you may be able to fund through Access to Work.
Practical, structured support from a Certified ADHD Coach who is also an NCPS Registered Psychotherapist. Build routines that fit how your brain works, manage overwhelm and follow through on what matters to you.
You're capable and creative, and everyday tasks still feel harder than they should
ADHD can make work feel like a constant uphill battle, however hard you try. Coaching helps with the challenges my clients bring most often.
Time management
Losing track of time, underestimating how long things take, or always running late.
Procrastination
Knowing exactly what you need to do and still not being able to start.
Focus
Struggling to concentrate on some tasks, then hyperfocusing on others for hours.
Overwhelm
A to-do list so long it freezes you, or too many tabs open in your head.
Organisation
Missed deadlines, lost paperwork and a system that never quite sticks.
Emotional regulation
Big feelings, frustration or rejection that knock you off course.
Follow-through
Lots of ideas and projects started, fewer finished.
Burnout
Working twice as hard to keep up and masking until you're exhausted.
12 one-to-one sessions, tailored to you
Sessions are online over Zoom, weekly or fortnightly. Each one builds on the last, with practical tools to try between sessions.
Understand your ADHD
We map how ADHD shows up for you at work and at home, what drains you, what energises you and where you get stuck. You'll start to see your patterns without judgement.
Build your systems
We design practical tools that suit how your brain works: planning, prioritising, routines and ways to start tasks, so they stick.
Manage energy and emotions
We work on overwhelm, emotional regulation, confidence and boundaries, so you can keep going without burning out.
Make it last
We review what's working, adjust what isn't and build a plan you can keep using once our sessions end.
Coaching with a therapist's understanding
ADHD rarely shows up on its own. Years of feeling behind, misunderstood or "too much" can leave you with anxiety, low self-esteem or burnout too.
As a Certified ADHD Coach and NCPS Registered Psychotherapist, I can help with both the practical side and the emotional side. We'll build systems that work for you, and make sense of the feelings that get in the way.
Access to Work could pay for your ADHD coaching
Access to Work is a government grant scheme run by the Department for Work and Pensions. It can pay for practical support at work if you have a disability or a physical or mental health condition, including ADHD. ADHD coaching is one of the types of support people commonly apply for.
The grant doesn't need to be paid back, and it's open to people who are employed or self-employed. You don't need a formal diagnosis to apply. What matters is how your ADHD affects your ability to do your job.
For employed clients, your employer pays for your coaching upfront and claims the cost back, so there's nothing for you to pay.
Waiting times for a decision can be long, so it's worth applying early. If you'd prefer to start sooner, you can self-fund your coaching.
Access to Work decides what support to award. Northern Ireland has a separate scheme.
- Check you're eligibleYou need to be 16 or over, live and work in England, Scotland or Wales, and be in paid work or about to start. Employed and self-employed people can both apply.
- Apply online or by phoneApply on GOV.UK, or call the Access to Work helpline on 0800 121 7479. Explain how ADHD affects your work and say you'd like ADHD coaching.
- Talk to an adviserAn Access to Work adviser will contact you to discuss your needs. They may ask for a quote from your chosen coach, which I can provide.
- Your employer pays and claims it backOnce Access to Work has approved your award, we book your sessions. Your employer pays my invoices upfront and claims the cost back from Access to Work. I'll make sure every invoice matches your award.

Talk to me firstADHD coaching and Access to Work FAQs
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?
No, you don't need a formal diagnosis to work with me or to apply for Access to Work. Access to Work looks at how your condition affects your ability to do your job. Many people apply while on a waiting list for assessment.
How long does Access to Work take?
It varies, and there can be long waits for a decision. Apply as early as you can. If you'd rather not wait, you can self-fund your coaching and start straight away.
Do I have to pay the grant back?
No. An Access to Work grant does not need to be paid back.
Who pays for the coaching?
Your employer pays my invoices upfront and then claims the cost back from Access to Work. I only start sessions once your award letter has been approved, and I invoice in line with the hours and rate Access to Work has agreed, so your employer can claim easily.
I'm self-employed. Can I still apply?
Yes. Access to Work is open to people who are self-employed as well as those in a job. As you don't have an employer, you pay my invoices and claim the cost back from Access to Work yourself.
What if Access to Work approves fewer sessions?
We'll make the most of the sessions you're awarded and tailor the programme to fit. You can also top up with self-funded sessions if you want to.
How often are sessions?
Sessions are weekly or fortnightly, online over Zoom. We'll agree the rhythm that works best for you.
Is ADHD coaching the same as therapy?
ADHD coaching is practical and focused on the here and now: systems, habits and strategies for work and life. If you're also dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem or past experiences, my background as a psychotherapist means I can recognise that and we can talk about the right support.
