ADHD-Informed Coach Training
Neuroscience-led coaching training created by ADHDers for ADHDers.
Many ADHDers arrive at coaching with a long history of being misunderstood.
They may have been told they are inconsistent, too intense, too disorganised, too sensitive, too much, not enough, or full of potential they somehow keep failing to use. By the time they reach a coach, they may not only be looking for better habits or clearer goals. They may be carrying years of shame in their nervous system. That is why ADHD-informed coaching matters. Because ADHD support needs more than good intentions. It needs science, lived experience and a nervous-system-aware way of working.
What is ADHD-informed coaching?
ADHD is not only about attention. It affects time perception, emotional regulation, motivation, sensory processing, sleep, food choices, rejection sensitivity, self-worth, masking, burnout and the strange coexistence of “I can’t start” and “I can’t stop”. That last one alone deserves a whole module, frankly…
An ADHD-informed coach does not need to become a clinician. Coaching is not diagnosis or therapy. But good ADHD coaching needs enough neuroscience to understand what is happening, enough lived-experience awareness to avoid adding shame, and enough practical skill to adapt support to the person in front of you.
That means starting with regulation before performance. It means asking what the client’s body is already carrying before asking them to produce more, seeing procrastination as information, not laziness, and recognising that masking can look like competence while subtly draining someone’s entire system. Ultimately, it’s important to understand that confidence isn’t built by simply telling people to believe in themselves but by helping them create repeated experiences of safety agency and follow-through.
This is the thinking behind the ADHD-informed coach training I co-deliver with Rosie Turner. Because coaching can be helpful, of course and, in fact, many coaches are skilled, thoughtful and deeply committed to their clients. But if a coach does not understand how ADHD actually works, it is easy to mistake a nervous system problem for a motivation problem, or an executive function difficulty for resistance. It is easy to encourage someone to plan better when the real question is whether they have enough capacity, safety, clarity, energy or support to begin.
And that is what makes our ADHD0-Informed Coach Training Certification different. We both get all of this because we live all of this every day of our lives.

Here’s what some of our Certified ADHD-Informed Coaches say
Coaching + Neuroscience Combined
Rosie brings highly specific coaching experience, lived experience, warmth and a fierce commitment to helping ADHDers rewrite the stories they have inherited about themselves. I bring the neuroscience, nutrition, gut-brain axis, nervous system and mental health side of the work. Together, we are interested in something more useful than surface-level ADHD awareness.
We want coaches, therapists, HR and wellbeing professionals, sports and wellness coaches, and ADHDers themselves to understand ADHD as a whole mind-body experience.
The training brings together science and practice. We look at ADHD as a neurotype, the brain and nervous system, masking, burnout, shame, emotional regulation, habit formation, motivation, hyperfocus, paralysis, food choices, disordered eating, relationships, hormones, parenting, entrepreneurship and the deeper question of what it means to support someone without trying to make them more palatable. Because that is the heart of it for me.
ADHD-informed work is not about making ADHDers function like everyone else. It is about understanding the conditions under which they can think, feel, choose, connect, rest, recover and act with more self-trust.
When coaching gets this right, it can be profoundly practical. A client may leave with a clearer plan, yes. But they may also leave with something more important: the feeling that their difficulty makes sense, that they are not broken, and that change does not have to begin with self-criticism. That is the kind of coaching I believe in.
Free Live Q&A
Rosie and I are hosting a free live Q&A about the ADHD-informed coach training on Tuesday 30 June at 6 pm UK time. We’ll talk through what the training includes, who it is for, and how it can support your work with ADHDers, or your understanding of your own ADHD.

If you work with ADHDers, or you are one, I’d love you to come.
Because ADHD support needs more than good intentions. It requires curiosity, skill, science, compassion, and the courage to meet people as they actually are.
