ADHD Coaching
Empowering Your Focus, Transforming Your Future.
Welcome to Therapy to Freedom, where we empower individuals with ADHD to overcome challenges, boost productivity, and unlock their full potential. With offices in Manchester, UK, and Marbella, Spain, we proudly serve a global clientele.
Our coaching services, rooted in evidence‑based techniques and personalised strategies, are designed to complement medication and other non‑pharmacological interventions, targeting the core impairments of ADHD, including planning, time management, goal setting, organisation, and problem solving. We work with college students, adults, and, in some cases, adolescents (in conjunction with parental involvement) to transform daily challenges into stepping stones towards success.
In this comprehensive guide, we explain what ADHD coaching is, detail our step‑by‑step process, highlight the benefits, contrast coaching with other interventions, and share inspiring success stories, so that you may see why Therapy To Freedom is the trusted partner for those seeking lasting change and empowerment.
Understanding ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching is a relatively new field that has grown in prominence over recent years. Unlike traditional therapies that focus solely on treating symptoms with medication or addressing deeper emotional issues, ADHD coaching is a practical, skills‑based intervention designed to work with the everyday challenges faced by those with ADHD.
It helps to translate abstract ideas into concrete actions by focusing on the real‑life skills needed for managing symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Our methodology at Therapy to Freedom acknowledges that ADHD is influenced by biological factors, while recognising that the cognitive, vocational, and emotional challenges that arise from these symptoms are just as critical to address. Our approach is holistic, combining the best of scientific research with practical guidance designed for real‑world application.
What Is ADHD Coaching?
Simply put, ADHD coaching is a collaborative process between coach and client. It is a specialised type of coaching designed specifically for individuals with ADHD or ADHD‑like symptoms. Rather than treating ADHD as a hindrance, our coaches focus on understanding the unique ways in which ADHD affects everyone’s life, from academic struggles and career setbacks to interpersonal challenges, and then work collaboratively to develop practical solutions.
Key components of ADHD coaching include developing practical skill, translating long‑term goals into a series of manageable, actionable steps, providing personalised approaches through in‑depth assessments that create a customised coaching plan, and offering ongoing accountability and support.
The Role of Coaching in a Comprehensive Treatment Plan
It is important to note that ADHD coaching is not a replacement for traditional medical or psychological interventions, but rather serves as a complementary strategy, often working alongside medication, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other treatments. Many clients find that while medication helps manage physiological symptoms, coaching equips them with the practical skills they need to thrive in daily life, effectively bridging the gap between symptom management and personal empowerment.

The Therapy to Freedom Coaching Process
Initial Consultation and Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey with us begins with an in‑depth initial consultation, typically lasting one to two hours. During this session, we focus on understanding your overall life satisfaction and identifying the specific areas where ADHD symptoms impact your daily activities. We discuss your academic, professional, and interpersonal experiences in detail, forming a complete picture of your challenges and aspirations. This comprehensive assessment ensures that our coaching plan is tailored uniquely to your needs.
Goal Setting and Personalised Planning
Once we have a clear understanding of your situation and aspirations, we move into the goal‑setting phase. Our approach is client‑centred, meaning you play an active role in identifying what success looks like for you. Together, we set both short‑term and long‑term goals that are specific, measurable, and achievable. We then break these goals down into practical steps, such as developing a daily routine, utilising digital tools to manage tasks, or scheduling regular check‑ins to ensure accountability. This personalised action plan is a living document that evolves with your progress.
One‑on‑One Coaching Sessions
The cornerstone of our coaching programme is the one‑on‑one session, which typically lasts between thirty and sixty minutes. These sessions provide a dedicated space where you and your coach review the previous week’s achievements and challenges, set new goals, address emerging issues promptly, and refine strategies. Whether conducted in person, online, over the telephone, via email, or even text, these sessions are designed to be flexible and convenient, ensuring that you receive continuous support and guidance.
Ongoing Support and Regular Follow‑Up
Transformation is an ongoing journey, and our commitment to your success does not end with individual coaching sessions. We offer continuous support through regular follow‑up check‑ins, formal progress reviews, access to an extensive resource library, and group workshops or webinars. This ongoing support ensures that you maintain momentum and continue to make measurable progress over the long term.
Evaluation and Long‑Term Strategy
At the conclusion of your initial coaching contract, we conduct an evaluation session to objectively review your progress. Using predefined benchmarks, we assess improvements in focus, organisational skills, and overall quality of life. This session also provides an opportunity for reflection and feedback, allowing us to adjust your plan for continued success, whether by continuing the current schedule, modifying the frequency of sessions, or concluding formal coaching if significant progress has been achieved.

How ADHD Coaching Differs from Other Interventions
Coaching versus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Both ADHD coaching and CBT incorporate elements such as goal setting, prioritisation, and organisational strategies, yet there are key differences. While CBT often targets underlying emotional issues and psychological barriers, ADHD coaching is primarily a wellness model that emphasises practical, everyday skills and strategies. In coaching, you are viewed as the expert in your own life; our role is to ask insightful questions that help you discover solutions and take action, rather than simply providing direct instructions.
Coaching versus Educational Interventions
Educational interventions, such as tutoring or learning strategies coaching, focus on transferring specific academic skills or content. ADHD coaching, in contrast, takes a broader approach by addressing various aspects of daily living, including personal organisation, work habits, and time management, while also fostering self-discovery and empowerment. This holistic process not only enhances academic performance but also improves overall life balance and emotional well-being.
The Benefits of ADHD Coaching
Our clients experience transformative, wide‑ranging benefits, including increased focus and productivity through targeted strategies that manage distractions and streamline actions, improved organisational skills by building routines and systems for efficiency, enhanced self‑awareness and self‑esteem as you gain a better understanding of your unique strengths and challenges, and better emotional regulation through practical stress management tools. Additionally, our action‑oriented approach ensures tangible, measurable progress supported by continuous follow‑up and accountability.
Research and Evidence on ADHD Coaching
Emerging research consistently supports the effectiveness of ADHD coaching. Studies with college students and adults have shown significant improvements in executive functioning, self‑determination, study and learning strategies, self‑awareness, and overall academic and professional performance.
Group coaching programmes have further demonstrated enhanced motivation, improved planning and organisational skills, assertiveness, self‑efficacy, and superior test‑taking strategies. These findings underline the value of a practical, evidence‑based approach to overcoming the challenges associated with ADHD.

Therapy To Freedom
Do you have any Questions?
What is the difference between ADHD coaching and therapy?
ADHD coaching at Therapy To Freedom focuses on education and peer support for improving executive functioning skills, such as planning, prioritisation, organisation, time management, goal setting, and problem solving. Our coaches work with you to identify specific goals, assess current barriers, and provide practical problem‐solving techniques. ADHD Therapy, in contrast, typically addresses a wider scope including processing past hurts, resolving trauma, and managing co‑occurring emotional concerns. Unlike therapists, ADHD coaches are not licensed to provide clinical or diagnostic services; however, many individuals benefit from combining psychotherapy with ADHD coaching for both daily practical support and deeper emotional work.
How long does ADHD coaching typically last?
The duration of coaching depends on your individual goals and the strategies you wish to implement. To achieve meaningful and lasting change, we recommend engaging in coaching for at least a couple of months. We offer both discounted monthly packages and pay‑per‑session options to accommodate your needs and budget, ensuring that you receive consistent support while building new, effective habits.
Do you help people previously diagnosed with ADD?
Yes, we work with individuals diagnosed with ADHD regardless of the terminology used. Although the previous diagnosis of ADD is now categorised under ADHD, our services are inclusive and designed to support individuals of all ADHD presentations. We use current terminology and evidence-based strategies to help you manage your unique challenges.
Yes, Therapy To Freedom provides remote ADHD coaching to clients worldwide. Although our offices are in Manchester, UK and Marbella, Spain, our coaching sessions are available via videoconference, telephone, email or text message, as per your preference. In‐person sessions may be available locally if required.
An ADHD coach has received specialised education and training that focuses on the unique challenges associated with ADHD, particularly regarding executive functioning. Our coaching services concentrate on helping you manage daily tasks, set and achieve practical goals, and develop strategies tailored to your ADHD profile. General life coaches may not have the specific training necessary to address the distinct needs of ADHDers, as our approach is designed to work directly with the ways ADHD impacts attention, organisation, and daily functioning.
Many clients choose to participate in ADHD coaching alongside ADHD therapies. Our coaching services are intended to complement these treatments by focusing on practical, day‑to‑day strategies. If it is determined that therapy would be better suited to address certain co‑occurring emotional or psychiatric issues, we will make appropriate recommendations.
