How coaching brings unique value to ADHD support.
How can coaching be so effective for ADHD?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts daily functioning — including attention, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.
It evolves throughout life and manifests differently in every individual.
​
Today, more and more adults with ADHD are turning to coaching. This choice is often driven by the need for a concrete, supportive, and solution-focused approach — either as a complement to traditional therapies, or as an alternative while waiting for access to clinical support.
How coaching can help
Coaching provides a structured and collaborative space that helps to:
-
Get better organized and bring more structure to daily life
-
Develop strategies for managing time, priorities, and distractions
-
Build self-confidence and motivation
-
Identify and leverage personal strengths
-
Move beyond feelings of overwhelm or being “out of sync”
-
Regain clarity and momentum in personal or professional projects
​​
Coaching is not a substitute for medical or therapeutic care, but it can be a valuable complement — especially when it comes to taking action in everyday life.
How Science Supports
Coaching for ADHD
Recent studies on ADHD and coaching show that:
-
Well-being and self-esteem significantly improve
-
Coachees report high levels of satisfaction
-
Positive changes are long-lasting and sustained over time
-
Self-efficacy increases, particularly in areas like organization, academics, and professional projects
Coaching is especially well-recognized in English-speaking countries, where it is often integrated into ADHD support pathways.
The Key Ingredients of
Quality ADHD Coaching
Effective ADHD coaching is grounded in:

Specialized training – both as a certified coach and with in-depth knowledge of ADHD through dedicated education
-
A clear understanding of the boundaries of coaching

Collaboration within a professional network – including doctors, psychologists, neuropsychologists, and psychoeducational organizations
