ADHD Coaching is forward-looking and outcome-orientated. The focus will be on how to change your ADHD behaviour to fit better with your personal values and goals. You will learn to develop tools and strategies to help you be on track, maintain focus and be on time.

Your coach will help you to develop a greater understanding of yourself so that you have more control over impulsive behaviour patterns.

By building a close and trusting partnership with your ADHD Centre Coach you will learn to incorporate more structure, focus and purpose in your life and be able to harness a greater sense of drive and ambition for your future.

Large evidence based studies looking at the best treatments for ADHD show that a combination treatment of medication and behavioural coaching clearly lead to the best results when it comes to getting on top of ADHD symptoms.

These studies show that medication works very well in most people for core symptoms such as difficulty focusing, impassivity and hyperactivity. However coaching really helps with the secondary symptoms such as procrastination, time management, organisation and social skills training.

The main goal of our coaching programme is to help our clients to flourish in their lives, and live more in the joyful and harmonious flow of life. These changes are designed to be long lasting so that the ultimate goal is for you to become your own best life coach.

At the ADHD Centre we have specially devised a unique coaching programme, which includes the following elements:

  • Psycho-education about the ADHD brain.
  • Long and short-term goal setting that is specific, process based and time bound.
  • Effective use of rewards and consequences to build up and maintain internal levels of motivation.
  • Building in effective strategies to support areas of specific difficulties with executive functioning.
  • Strengths based recovery model using positive psychology for anxiety management and the progressive development of authentic self-esteem.

You will work with your coach to develop a personal action plan around your specific identified goals you wish to achieve. The sessions can be either in person, via Zoom for Healthcare or via telephone, depending on your preference and availability.

Plan 1:
Weekly coaching sessions


Plan 2:
Fortnightly coaching sessions

Coaching Testimonials

Thank you so much for today and your time and making it a very productive session. I’ve come away with lots of ideas but more importantly for me a focus on implementing the steps towards change. Very much appreciated and feel much more positive about gaining some control back and the whole giving myself permission. You sent me away with the start of a toolkit that I can dip into and that will help me achieve step by step.

– Faye W., Salford.

I think the way you support and tune into people is a real skill. You were able to make me feel safe and comfortable in a short space of time and I really felt you maximised every minute we had. You unravelled my chaos into something tangible to allow me to have a focus and to leave with something I can start with. The hard bit is doing it myself after a session as it comes down to me – but even from this first session I felt I had someone who understood my main struggles and that gives me motivation to do it.

-Jake  S., Sheffield.

Your relaxed approach and minimal pressure to arrange appointments one after the other is a real fresh approach. Previous counselling has enforced this and often it failed as I felt overwhelmed. You are truly person centred and you allow time to process and have the autonomy on my own frequency of sessions. I am enthused and for me there is a light at the end of the tunnel which was not there prior to seeing you. Thank you.

-Brenda  M., Sussex.

I am really grateful for the coaching support I received through the ADHD Centre. I found that the medication helped me a lot with being able to stay focussed and not zoning out the whole time, but the coaching really helped with my ability to properly plan my day and actually getting things done on time. The combination of treatments was just what I needed.

-Leanda  T. Mother of Two and Part Time Therapist, Hertfordshire.

I had ADHD coaching for two months and I was amazed at how my coach was able to get me to set short term and long term goals that really allowed me to properly plan for the things that were most important in my life. I had a tendency to keep going off track but my coach kept me very focussed on what it was we agreed I had to do every week to work towards finishing my degree. I ended up getting a 2:1, which I never thought would have been possible before our sessions together. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who struggles with these types of problems.

-Shamina W. Trainee Solicitor, Manchester.

Signing up for the coaching package was the best investment I could have made. My coach was so supportive and encouraging, working alongside me to sort out my personal and company finances, which were in a complete mess. They also taught me some really valuable strategies for time management, making sure I didn’t miss appointments and general prioritisation of day-to-day tasks both at home and work. I have now been successful in incorporating these strategies into the way I handle my accounts and I am I a much stronger position. Thanks again!

-Warren D. Business Owner and Director, East London.

I think the way you support and tune into people is a real skill. Helen Carouzos was able to make me feel safe and comfortable in a short space of time and I really felt she maximised every minute we had. She unravelled my chaos into something tangible to allow me to have a focus and to leave with something I can start with. The hard bit is doing it myself after a session as it comes down to me – but even from this first session, I felt I had someone who understood my main struggles and that gives me the motivation to do it. She sent me away with the start of a toolkit that I can dip into and that will help me achieve step by step. Her relaxed approach and minimal pressure to arrange appointments one after the other is a real fresh approach. previous counselling has enforced this and often it failed as I felt overwhelmed. She is truly person-centred and she allows time to process and have the autonomy on my own frequency of sessions. I am enthused and for me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel which was not there prior to seeing Helen. Thank you

Alexandra is the best at what she does. She is knowledgeable both from a professional and personal perspective. I had four sessions with Alexandra and it helped me come to accept my late diagnosis of ADHD. She helped me bring clarity to my diagnosis and helped me realise that I had learnt effective coping strategies throughout my life. Thank you Alexandra, it has been a pleasure and I would highly recommend ADHD coaching with Alexandra.
