Become an ADHD coach

We’re in the process of gaining level 1 accreditation from the ICF. Join us on the first cohort to be a part of the journey.

Our approach

We believe that:

  • ADHD coaching should be both nuanced and rooted in a sound approach to both the science and lived experience of ADHD. It should take into account what we know about ADHD, but also be comfortable with what we don’t.

  • Learning to listen and get out of the way as a coach helps us create a meaningful and flexible space for a client, able to work with what they’ve brought.

  • Learning about how our own brains work helps us provide a mirror for our clients’ experience, whatever our neurotype.

  • Coach training should be relentlessly practical - the theory is best learnt by doing.

Chris Fraser PCC

ADHD Coach, supervisor and founder of SOAC

ADHD Coaching changed how I work with my ADHD - and started me on my journey to becoming a coach. I’ve used all of the experience I’ve gained in over a thousand hours of ADHD coaching, as well as my background in teaching and finance, to bring you the best of what works for my clients - and my ADHD.

I’ve set up a coaching practice with my associates at The ADHD Workshop, as well as being a trained supervisor and mentor coach for other ADHD coaches.

I trained as an ICF accredited ADHD coach in the US based school ADDCA, and as a supervisor at the ICCS.

Praise from our ADHD course

I normally hate zoom chats, particularly group chats, but the workshops were great! Super interesting to learn how my brain works and great to meet so many like-minded people. I've come away able to explain myself better, identify what causes me stress, and I'm now developing strategies to deal with my ADHD

— Alex

It was very informative but relaxed and inclusive which allowed time for reflection and interaction. I learnt a lot through other people sharing their experiences of ADHD which in turn helped me to embrace aspects of myself I have previously felt shameful about.

— Abi James

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and these sessions helped me understand a lot more about ADHD and how I could learn to see the positives in the way my mind works and engage methods and structures into my life that can transform problems into helpful solutions.

— Adam Makowiecki

The workshop provided so much useful information, and I got clarity about the ADHD brain. Learning about the strategies to use when struggling with ADHD really helped with my day to day life.

— Jack
