ADHD Coaching

Support for Adult ADHDers to adult - your way.

Whether it’s better time management, achieving goals, relationships, work, focus, socialising, building healthy habits, or learning to find your strengths …

ADHD coaching can help.

Do you think you might have ADHD but you don’t have a formal diagnosis? (Or might not want one).

Have you recently recieved a diagnosis as an adult and you’re not sure ‘where to next’?

Or maybe you’ve always felt different & haven’t understood why you’ve struggled so-damn-much at work, home, in relationships?

Welcome! You’re in the right place.

So finally you might have some answers, but yet it can also feel like just the beginning.

Let’s face it, the whole process can be a huge rollercoaster of emotions.

As someone who was diagnosed at 48, I completely understand.

Things make more sense than ever but yet you’ve been thrown off course at the same time.

That’s where ADHD Coaching comes in.

Coaching helps you navigate your path forward so you can play to your strengths and learn to manage the bits of ADHD that are causing challenges for you.

What is ADHD coaching?

▫️Learning to find and appreciate your strengths!

▫️Coming to terms with your diagnosis - what to expect, what’s normal, what’s next

▫️Managing emotions and overwhelm

▫️Healthier self-esteem and relationships - which includes tackling the dreaded rejection sensitive dysphoria

▫️Tackling time management, prioritisation and procrastination

▫️Tackling day-to-day life and tasks that are important to you (or just need to get done)

▫️Psychoeducation (understanding why your brain is doing what it’s doing and what you can do)

▫️Understanding the link with addiction (process and behavioural)

▫️Managing the well worn ‘burn out’ cycle - so you can spot the signs earlier

▫️Cultivating a life that fits you, rather than trying to fit neurotypical norms leading you to hide your light and mask your life away

So, let’s stop trying to cram your spicy brain into non-spicy ways!

(It doesn’t work and makes us ADHDers freaking miserable).

As your ADHD coach, we’ll work together to do this instead:

embrace ways to be more you in the world, not less
find strategies that mean you can get the things you want to do done, but in ways that work for your brain - and your lifestyle
reframe self-beliefs and tame that harsh inner critic and perfectionistic tendencies that are sabotaging and undermining you
identify blind spots and patterns that are helping you and hindering you
focus on your strengths, while finding ways to manage the things that aren’t working as well.
Sound good?
Great! Let’s harness that hyperfocus and get cracking.

BOOK APPT

“After decades of therapy that didn’t begin to address my neurodivergence, eight sessions of ADHD coaching with Faye has helped transform for the better, how I think, act and how I feel about myself.

Thanks to Faye, I now have the knowledge, understanding and a toolkit for everyday living with ADHD to carry with me into a more positive future.”

— Andrea, Brisbane

“But isn’t coaching just full of unqualified charlatans?” I hear you say …

You may be surprised to know, ADHD coaching is recommended as an intervention in the first ever Australian Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines for the treatment of ADHD (July 2022), endorsed by the Australian Psychological Society, the Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, The Australian Clinical Psychology Association and the ADHD World Federation amongst many others.

A review of 22 studies of ADHD Coaching by Ahmann et al (2018) found positive outcomes for people with ADHD in supporting their executive functioning, ADHD symptoms, self-esteem, wellbeing, and quality of life.

As always, it is highly recommend you check the credentials/qualifications of any practitioner you consider working with, but mostly whether you feel like they ‘get you’.

About Faye

I help high-performing neurodivergent folk who are feeling stuck in patterns with alcohol, food, relationships, or work stress — especially the kind that leads to burnout and overwhelm. Together, we work toward balance, confidence, and a life that actually feels good to live.

I'm a therapist, ADHD coach, and grey area drinking coach with lived experience of both ADHD and alcohol dependence. I’ve been alcohol-free since 2017, was late-diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, and I’m a mum to neurodivergent young adults. Before this work, I spent years in executive leadership — so I understand the pressure to keep it all together while quietly unravelling inside.

I take a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed approach to help you make changes that stick — on your terms. I hold degrees in psychology and counselling, and I’m a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Australian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA).
