Question 1

What is ADHD coaching?

Accepted Answer

ADHD coaching is a collaborative, strengths based and forward focused partnership. I meet you where you're at to help you bridge the gap between knowing what you need to do, and actually getting it done.  Together we will identify your goals, work on developing personalized strategies, and build up your ADHD toolbox.

Question 2

How is coaching different than therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is often about addressing the "why", whereas coaching is action oriented around the "how".  We are focused on your present challenges, exploring your values and strengths, and helping you manage day-to-day life.

Coaching and therapy can work really well together, and often clients are working with a therapist and ADHD coach at the same time!

Question 3

Can I do ADHD coaching if I'm in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ADHD coaching and therapy can compliment each other nicely, and many of my clients are doing therapy alongside coaching.

If you are currently seeing a therapist and considering ADHD coaching, I would recommend bringing it up and getting their thoughts.

ADHD coaching requires the ability for you to be able to access future-thinking.  If you are experience severe depression, it may not be the right time to start coaching.

Question 4

What can I expect in a coaching session?

Accepted Answer

Every session is different depending on what you need that day! Here are some examples of what we might talk about:

Work on an action plan
Explore how to build and maintain routines 
Troubleshoot a previous experiment that didn't go as planned
Get clear on your priorities for the coming week(s)

I finish each session ensuring you got what you came for, are clear on your next steps and have accountability systems set up to best set you up for success!

Question 5

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, it really varies! Hopefully, you will start to experience some relief and change after our first session.

But in order to really experience that full-fledged life transformation, it takes time. We can't change your entire life in just one session! ADHD coaching isn't a quick fix, it's an on going process.  You will likely start to experience more lightness after 6-8 weeks

What I can promise is that you'll leave each session one step closer to becoming who you want to be!

Question 6

How is your coaching personalized to me?

Accepted Answer

If you've tried (and failed) countless "ADHD hacks" you've seen online... it doesn't mean you've failed, you just have the experience to know there is no one-size fits all answer!
 
We will get clear on your values, strengths, and goals.  Then, we look at your challenges, what you've tried before and why it didn't work.

Everything we do in coaching is tailored to your life, your brain, and what feels cozy for you.

Question 7

Do I need a formal diagnosis to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Nope! No formal diagnosis of any kind is required for us to work together.  Anyone and everyone is welcome here.

Question 8

I'm more comfortable with my camera off.  Is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  I encourage you to show up in whatever way feels most comfortable for you.  That means if you will be more present with your camera off there is no pressure to have it on.  I can turn my camera off as well if you prefer.

My priority for our sessions is that you are getting what you came for.  You can come in your pajamas and playing with your fidget tools if that is the most supportive set up for you!

If there is anything I can do to accommodate you or make our sessions more impactful please let me know at any time.

Question 9

What are your credentials?

Accepted Answer

I have completed the basic ADHD & life training certification program at ADD Coach Academy, which is over 100 hours of training.  I am also working with a mentor coach to further develop my skills.

I am currently working towards becoming ICF (International Coaching Federation) and PAAC (Professional Association for ADHD Coaches) certified.

Additionally, I have completed level 1 certificates of study in ADHD and foundations with the Institute for Challenging Disorganization.

Question 10

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I am located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!  My coaching is offered virtually via Google Meets which means I can work with clients all over the world.

Question 11

Will my insurance cover this?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, my services are not eligible to be covered by insurance.

If you are currently a student or an employee, there may be funding available through the institutions to cover disability related supports.

Question 12

Do you offer sliding scale?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to help increase access to my services.  When you go to book a discovery call, you can check off a box that indicates you are in need of sliding scale rates and we can discuss an accessible price point for you.

Sliding scale spots are currently available! You can book a discovery call if you would like to learn more.

Question 13

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with anyone aged 16 and older.  My focus is on helping post-secondary students (University/College) and young adults (18-35).

That being said, even if you don't fall in that target audience but think we could be a good fit, I'd still love to work together!
