How to choose the right ADHD coach
ADHD coaching is unregulated, so it’s essential to find someone with proper training, supervision, and ethical standards. Here are the key questions to be aware of and ask about before working with a coach:
Where did they train? Look for recognised programmes like ADDCA, IAAC, or ICF-accredited courses.
Do they have credentials? Are they certified by ICF, PAAC, or ACO?
Do they have supervision? Regular supervision ensures they uphold best practices.
What’s their experience? Do they specialise in adults, professionals, women, or late-diagnosed ADHD?
What’s their coaching approach? Are they strengths-based, solution-focused, or neuroscience-informed?
Do they follow a code of ethics? Ethical coaching is a must!
Do they continue learning? ADHD research evolves—do they stay up to date?
Do they offer a free consultation? A quick chat helps assess fit.
Do they have lived experience? Not essential, but it may matter to you.
The right ADHD coach can be transformative, but asking these questions ensures you're choosing someone qualified, ethical, and experienced.
