But, in common with a counsellor or therapist,<em> a good coach never tells you what to do. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #800080;\">The role of a good coach is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/advanced-listening-skills.htm\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">practise expert listening<\/span><\/a>, and to ask the right questions to help you find your <em>own<\/em> answers. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">With this listening and reflecting, an ADHD coach will help with things like: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">understanding how your ADHD is impacting you <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">recognising your challenges as well as innate talents<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">learning<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/procrastination-big-deal.htm\"> time management <\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/how-to-set-goals-that-work.htm\">identifying goals<\/a> that align with your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/personal-values-know-yours.htm\"> personal values<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">breaking down goals and mapping out how to achieve them<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">keeping you accountable to reaching those goals<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">digging out core beliefs holding you back <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">knowing your triggers and creating systems to navigate them<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">finding and enacting ways to raise your self-esteem. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_118119\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118119\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-118119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"ADHD coaching\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/emma-matthews-digital-content-production-O_CLjxjzN3M-unsplash.jpg 709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-118119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Emma Matthews<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Does ADHD coaching work? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While there is no study done on ADHD and coaching, there was <strong>a study carried out on how coaching helps with procrastination<\/strong>, one of the top issues in those who suffer adult ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4853380\/\">study, published in the journal &#8220;Frontiers in Psychology&#8221;<\/a>, <strong>compared how one-on-one coaching, group couching, and self-coaching helped with procrastination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The study found that trying to coach yourself wasn&#8217;t affective, stating that, &#8220;Independently performing exercises without being supported by a coach is not sufficient for high goal attainment.&#8221; And that while group coaching was best for learning a body of knowledge,\u00a0 &#8220;Individual coaching created a high degree of satisfaction and was superior in helping participants attaining their goals.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How is an ADHD coach different than an ADHD therapist? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Both will help you to<\/strong> understand and navigate life with ADHD. And b<\/span><span class=\"s1\">oth have the same goal &#8211; to help you improve the quality of your life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Coaching is focused on palpable results and forward motion.<\/strong> A coach will prioritise helping you move forward in things like your career and life organisation. You will create systems and strategies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>An ADHD therapist can help with these things, but will also help you to<\/strong> <strong>understand yourself better and understand your emotions. <\/strong>You will discuss your feelings and not just your goals, and might put more of a focus on how ADHD affects your relationships.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 A counsellor or psychotherapist is also<\/span> trained to help you with things like anxiety and depression, which a coach is not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What to look for in an ADHD coach<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">1. They are open-minded and non judgmental. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All good coaches have these qualities, and you simply shouldn\u2019t work with someone who doesn\u2019t. You are there to be accepted. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">2. They know all about ADHD. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some ADHD coaches have ADHD themselves, some don\u2019t. What matters is that they have an in depth knowledge of the issue. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">3. They actually want to work with ADHD clients. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Look for an ADHD coach who is focused and passionate about working with your ADHD. The last thing you need is to feel someone is only working with you as they want clients. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">4. They provide the format of coaching that works for you. <\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_118118\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118118\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-118118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/nik-macmillan-YXemfQiPR_E-unsplash-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"what is an ADHD coach\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/nik-macmillan-YXemfQiPR_E-unsplash-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/nik-macmillan-YXemfQiPR_E-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/nik-macmillan-YXemfQiPR_E-unsplash-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/nik-macmillan-YXemfQiPR_E-unsplash.jpg 709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-118118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Nik Macmillan<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do you prefer to work face to face? Then an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/skype-counselling.htm\">online therapist<\/a> might not be a fit. Or if you travel a lot, you might want to find a therapist that offers \u2018blended sessions\u2019, with some in person and some over the internet. Also, does the weekly slot they have available work for you? <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">5. They have a workable price point.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> It\u2019s advisable to pay as much as you can, because more experienced therapists and coaches do evidently cost more. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">If you only make coaching about \u2018saving money\u2019 then it might mean you miss out on a coach that would have the talent to help you make more money that could cover your sessions in any case (<a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/money-stress.htm\">money<\/a> is something you can absolutely talk about with a coach).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">6. You feel comfortable around them. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This might take a few sessions, naturally. It can be a bit uncomfortable to share your hopes and dreams with any stranger, let alone a coach. But you need to feel that your coach is someone you respect and can grow to feel comfortable around. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">7. They are a registered coach and part of ADHD organisations. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is not a prerequisite. If you find a coach you really work well with who isn&#8217;t part of organisations what matters is that it is a good working relationship. But you might want to ask if they have memberships with coaching organisations and keep their knowledge up to date.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Benefits of ADHD Coaching <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So you are interested.
