How ADHD Coaching for Adults Works

Step One:  Consultation

First, we can have a free brief (15 minutes) information session by phone or videoconference. I will want to talk with you to see what you are looking for. You can also get a sense of me and ask any questions you might have about coaching. Coaching requires a commitment of 12 sessions. After this session, we can decide about working together.

Step Two:  Intake Session

If we decide to proceed, we agree on a weekly appointment time. This time is the same each week so we both know when to show up. The appointments will be virtual. You can choose phone or videoconference. 

Next, you will complete a coaching contract and choose a payment plan. 

I’ll also send you other paperwork to fill out before the intake session to gather some background information and get you thinking about your goals before we meet. Once that is complete, we schedule our intake session.

We will conduct an intake session (phone or videoconference) that lasts 50 minutes. 

  • We will discuss what your goals are. (See “How Can Professional ADHD Coaching Help Adults?” for some examples.)

  • We will make the goals very specific so we can easily monitor your progress.

  • We’ll identify your strengths and values so that you can use them to support goal achievement.

  • I’ll also help you develop some manageable action steps to take towards your goals.

  • You’ll leave the appointment with clear goals and some first steps to take.

Step Three:  Regular Appointments

The work of coaching begins. Coaching requires a commitment of a minimum of 3-months. Achieving goals requires a commitment of time and effort.

  • You and I will set a time to meet once a week (by phone or videoconference) for 50-minutes to see how progress is going on your actions and goals.

  • We’ll look at what’s working—and celebrate! 

  • We’ll explore what’s not working, and brainstorm other approaches as needed.

  • We’ll work together to problem-solve as needed, examining any barriers to progress and considering how to handle them.

  • We’ll adjust steps toward your goals as needed, and each week you’ll decide what next step(s) to take.

  • We’ll discuss how to use your strengths as you take on new actions. 

  • You might also want to email or text me in between our appointments to report on how things are going. 

  • I might also recommend some coaching “homework”—perhaps something to think about or a new strategy to try.

  • We can add in new goals as you achieve the first set.

  • It’s up to you how fast you progress. The more effort you put into coaching, the more you’ll get out of it!
