What is ADHD Coaching?
It's not tutoring, it's not therapy and it's definitely not a lecture on trying harder!
ADHD coaching is all about bridging the gap between knowing what to do, and actually getting it done.
Your school gives you an accommodation plan
ADHD coaching helps you make use of it (and more!)
ADHD coaching is a collaborative, strengths-based and action oriented partnership. Your ADHD coach isn't there to prescribe hacks (okay, maybe sometimes).
Instead, I'll meet you exactly where you're at to help you stop fighting with your brain and truly start understanding it. Together, we identify your personal academic goals, look at the specific executive functioning hurdles throwing you off track.
The goal is to help you understand what works and why it works, so that eventually you can move on from ADHD coaching with a shiny new toolbox you can keep pulling from.
Who Exactly is This For?
I specialize in supporting post-secondary students (college and university) who are struggling to manage school, life and ADHD.
Choose your fighter!
The Procrastinator
The only thing that get's you moving is a deadline that's almost here. You wish you could give yourself more time because this is stressful!
The Doomscroller
You take your laptop and expensive coffee to the library with the best of intentions, but end up scrolling the day away while your open assignment stays empty.
The Infinite Restarter
Every new semester you promise yourself this time will be different. You buy an expensive new planner, new notebooks, new stationary... and end up stressed and catching up on assignments by week 2.
How it Helps & What We Do
We'll focus on building continuous, manageable momentum. This isn't talking about abstract theories, it's focused on what is actually going on in your real life. We look at your syllabus, your calendar, and that exact tasks causing you to feel stuck right now. But don't worry, you'll leave each session feeling more clear on your next steps.
Here are a few examples of what we may work on:
Sparking Motivation
Learn how to make your own motivation, so you don't have to rely on when it comes naturally the day before something is due.
How to Actually Start
And the answer isn't "just sit down and do it". Starting is often the hardest part, and we'll look at strategies for making it easier.
Routines that Work
I love an aesthetic template as much as the next person, but often we pour all our effort into making the system pretty but not so functional. We'll design flexible routines around your fluctuating energy levels, focus windows and your hectic student lifestyle.
Managing the Burnout Cycle
The semester starts, you go all in, and completely burn yourself out before the midterms hit. Sound familiar? We can work on breaking free from this cycle, managing your stress and preserving executive dysfunction so you can make your energy last the whole semester.
The beauty of ADHD coaching? We will focus on whatever you need support with the most (even if it's not on this list!)
You don't need it all figured out to take the first step
The first step isn't opening your wallet or committing to a session. It's grabbing a completely free, casual call so we can chat about what's going on for you!
