ADHD Profiles

Helping people with ADHD by understanding, accepting, and valuing their unique traits — to better support them in everyday life, both at work and at home.

3 core types of symptoms

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) mainly manifests through three core types of symptoms, which may appear on their own or in various combinations depending on the individual.

These three dimensions can present themselves very differently from one person to another. ADHD is not a 'one-size-fits-all' profile, but rather a combination of traits shaped by environment, emotions, and life stages.

Inattention

The person has difficulty sustaining attention, especially during long or unstimulating tasks.

This may show up as:

A tendency to get easily distracted
Frequent forgetfulness (appointments, belongings, instructions)
Trouble following a conversation or finishing a document
Careless mistakes in everyday tasks or at work

This is not a sign of low intelligence or lack of effort — it's a challenge in consistently regulating attention.

Hyperactivity

This behaviour is expressed as a constant need for movement or activity. While it's often more noticeable in children, it can persist into adulthood in a more "internal" form.

It may include:

Physical restlessness (fidgeting, frequently getting up)
Difficulty staying seated or inactive for long periods
A tendency to talk a lot, often without filtering
A feeling of being constantly "under pressure"

Hyperactivity can be physical, but also mental — with racing thoughts that make it hard to find calm.

Impulsivity

This trait refers to a tendency to react immediately — often described as a lack of inhibition.

It can lead to:

Frequently interrupting during conversations
Making hasty or thoughtless decisions
Difficulty waiting one's turn (in lines, in conversations, etc.)
A tendency to seek immediate rewards rather than plan ahead

Impulsivity isn’t intentional recklessness — it reflects a brain wired for immediate action.

My approach

I deeply believe that coaching is an optimistic process — a catalyst for clarity and autonomy — when practiced with structure, ethics, and sensitivity.

My approach is strength-based and solution-focused. It does not aim to "correct" the way ADHD individuals function, but instead fosters a deeper understanding of how they engage with life and helps them better manage future challenges.

As a complement to conventional care (from doctors and specialized therapists), coaching offers a close and responsive form of support that aligns well with the fluctuating nature of ADHD.

My coaching programs provide a clear and practical framework, starting with a thorough understanding of one’s own condition.

Then — together — we design the strategies that work best for you, to help move forward and cope with everyday difficulties, especially in areas related to executive functioning (such as time management, organization, and planning). For example: ADHD and procrastination, time aversion, or the need for immediate reward.

Aligned with international guidelines, and in collaboration with healthcare professionals whenever possible (based on the preferences of doctors, practitioners, and the client), I strive to offer coaching that is deeply human, structured, and sustainable.

ADHD Profils in the workplace

Supporting ADHD profiles in the workplace can be a real challenge — but also a powerful opportunity.

People with ADHD may feel out of sync or misunderstood in professional settings. Yet with the right tools and strategies, they can bring forward their intuition, express their creativity, and take on key roles. What may appear as a vulnerability can in fact become a valuable asset to collective performance.

Through a rigorous methodology and tailored coaching sessions, I help managers and coaches better understand the core needs of these unique talents, enabling them to thrive and excel in their professional environment.
