Parenting a child with ADHD and/or executive function challenges can be both rewarding and incredibly demanding.

Parenting a child with ADHD and/or executive function challenges can be both rewarding and incredibly demanding. Many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, isolated, and unsure of how best to support their child while also managing the needs of the rest of the family.

As both an ADHD Coach and a parent of neurodivergent children, I understand the unique challenges that can come with navigating ADHD at home, school, and in everyday life. Parent coaching provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore concerns, celebrate successes, and develop practical strategies tailored to your family.

Together, we can create systems, routines, and supports that help your child thrive while reducing stress and conflict within the home. Parent coaching can also be particularly valuable when a child or teenager is not yet ready or willing to engage in coaching themselves.

Topics we may explore include:

  • Understanding ADHD and how it presents in your child

  • What are executive functions

  • Supporting executive function skills such as organisation, overwhelm, time management, and emotional regulation

  • Creating ADHD-friendly routines, structure, and scaffolding

  • Parenting with ADHD or suspected ADHD yourself

  • Supporting sibling relationships and family dynamics

  • Navigating school, learning, and communication with educators

  • Building confidence, resilience, and self-esteem in your child

  • Creating a calmer, more harmonious home environment

“At first, when my son started seeing Fiona, he didn’t trust the process and developed a ‘I’m fine’ front or wall, but after a trip to look sharp and giving my son permission to be as silly, creative, or just plan bonkers, with what it means to him to have ADHD, the words have change from ‘I’m fine’ to proudly telling teachers what he has learned from his ‘life coach’ Fiona.  The way my son and I look at it is, when you need extra help with math you get a tutor, so for my son he needs help navigating friendships and stress triggers, so Fiona is his tutor.   I have noticed a change and so has school, he is actively trying to handle himself better, when he becomes overwhelmed, and he is ‘thinking’ before he acts or speaks and if he gets it wrong he is beginning to own it.  My son is getting voted for effort and spirit awards, rather than been hauled into the headmaster's office.”

  • No, you don’t need a diagnosis of ADHD to recieve ADHD Coaching. The wait time for a diagnosis can be long and I encourage you to begin to learn about the executive function challenges you are experiencing that are leading you to seek an ADHD diagnosis.

  • ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism, injury and some learning disabilities can lead to a delay in development of executive function skills or impairment of executive function skills.

    We use exective function skills to get things done.

    Executive Function Skills include:

    • Planning

    • Organisation

    • Time management

    • Getting started

    • Maintaining focus

    • Switching focus from one task to the next

    • Multi tasking

    • Working memory

    • Self control

    The good news is there are tools that can be implemented to break through these difficulties.

  • There is not a set rate charged by ADHD Coaches but a good rule of thumb is that an accredited ADHD Coach will cost similar to a counsellor in your area.
