Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ page! Here, we’ve compiled answers to common questions about ADHD coaching, what to expect, and how our unique Mindful Intelligence approach supports your goals.
About ADHD Coaching
Q: What is ADHD coaching?
A: ADHD coaching is a personalized approach focused on building skills, strategies, and habits to help adults with ADHD manage challenges, enhance productivity, and lead fulfilling lives. It differs from other types of coaching by specifically addressing the ways ADHD impacts daily life, focusing on actionable strategies and self-awareness.
Q: What does a coaching session look like?
A: A typical session is designed to be collaborative and practical. We often start by identifying specific challenges you’re facing, then work together to develop strategies you can implement right away. Each session may include discussion, skill-building, and setting targeted goals based on your strengths. My goal is for you to leave each session with a clear action plan and increased clarity.
Q: How does ADHD coaching differ from therapy or counseling?
A: While therapy often focuses on exploring past experiences and addressing emotional health, ADHD coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. We work on developing the practical skills you need to reach personal and professional goals.
Q: What type of clients do you work with?
A: I primarily work with adults who have ADHD or ADHD-like traits, including business owners, professionals, and those striving to reach their full potential. Many of my clients seek strategies to improve productivity, time management, relationships, and emotional resilience.
The Mindful Intelligence Approach
Q: What is Mindful Intelligence, and how does it fit into coaching?
A: Mindful Intelligence is a central part of my coaching approach. It’s about fostering mental clarity, emotional awareness, and resilience. During sessions, we use mindfulness-based strategies to help you become more aware of thoughts and emotions without judgment. This awareness can help you make more intentional choices and develop habits that align with your goals.
Q: How is technology used in your coaching process?
A: Technology plays a supportive role in my coaching. I use software to track progress, set reminders, and maintain accountability between sessions. This software remains available to you after our sessions end, giving you a structured way to continue applying the skills you’ve learned.
Getting Started & Practicalities
Q: How does the coaching process start?
A: It begins with an initial consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and how coaching can help. This session allows us to create a customized plan that’s tailored to your needs. The consultation fee is $350 plus GST/HST, with further coaching packages available based on your goals.
Q: What are your coaching packages, and what happens when they’re over?
A: I offer a ten-session package, which can be 60 or 90 minutes per session. Once the package is complete, many clients continue with additional sessions or periodic check-ins to maintain momentum. The skills and strategies we develop are designed to support you well beyond our time together.
Q: What is the cost of your coaching packages?
A: My coaching packages start at $3,500 for ten 60-minute sessions or $5,000 for ten 90-minute sessions, plus GST/HST.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: Currently, I do not accept insurance. However, some clients have successfully used health spending accounts to cover coaching costs. I recommend checking with your provider to see if coaching could be covered under mental health or professional development benefits
Measuring Success
Q: How do I know if our coaching is successful?
A: Success in coaching is highly individual. Throughout our sessions, we set clear, measurable goals and regularly assess progress. Success may look like improved productivity, stronger emotional resilience, or more fulfilling relationships. The tools and strategies you gain can continue benefiting you long after coaching ends.
Q: How do you measure progress during coaching?
A: Progress is measured through regular goal-setting and review. I track milestones, discuss what’s working or needs adjusting, and adapt our approach as needed. Additionally, I use specific metrics for certain skills, like time management and emotional resilience, to help visualize growth.
