General Questions About ADHD Coaching
What is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects an individual's ability to focus, control impulses, and manage energy levels. It is commonly diagnosed in childhood but can persist into adulthood. Symptoms of ADHD may include inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, which can impact various aspects of daily life, including academic, professional, and social. Understanding and managing ADHD can be challenging, but with the right support and strategies, individuals can learn to connect with and use their unique strengths to create and lead fulfilling lives.
What is ADHD Life Coaching?
ADHD coaching is a specialised form of life coaching that helps individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) manage their symptoms and improve their daily functioning. I provide personalised strategies and support to ADHD people achieve their goals, enhance strengths, and overcome challenges.
Who can benefit from ADHD coaching?
ADHD coaching is beneficial for all ages who have been diagnosed with ADHD or exhibit ADHD-like symptoms. This includes children, teenagers, college students, adults. It also supports and parents seeking guidance on how to support their children with ADHD in addition to companies wishes to better provide support to their neurodivergent employees.
Do I need a diagnosis to start coaching?
While a formal diagnosis can be helpful, it is not required for starting ADHD coaching. If you suspect you, your child or your employee may have ADHD, we can still provide valuable support and strategies tailored to your needs.
What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Life coaching and counselling/therapy serve distinct yet complementary roles in improving the quality of life.
Life coaching, as defined by the ICF (International Coaching Federation), is "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential." It focuses on setting and achieving specific goals, enhancing performance, and fostering personal growth. Life coaches help clients identify their strengths, develop strategies, and stay accountable.
Counselling/therapy supports emotional healing and psychological well-being. Therapists address past traumas, mental health issues, and emotional challenges, providing a safe space for clients to explore and resolve deeply rooted concerns.
Therapeutic coaching as offered by Vanessa, blends these approaches. This hybrid model supports addressing both present and future goals whilst clearing any underlying emotional barriers, fostering holistic growth and well-being. These methods ensures that clients not only achieve their aspirations but also maintain emotional resilience and mental health.
Coaching Process Questions
What does the coaching process involve?
Our coaching process typically involves an initial consultation of approximately 90 minutes, followed by regular coaching sessions. During the initial consultation, we assess your specific needs and goals. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized coaching plan. Subsequent sessions focus on implementing strategies, monitoring progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.
How long does the coaching process take?
The duration of the coaching process varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from a few months of coaching, while others may require longer-term support. The new skills and strategies enable you to move forward after this period continuing to create the life you deserve and desire. Typically, a coaching relationship may last anywhere from a few months to a year or longer. It's essential to discuss your objectives and expectations with your coach to determine the best timeline for your coaching journey.
What methods and techniques do you use?
I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, and psychological approaches, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, time management skills, organizational tools, and mindfulness practices. I tailor the approach to your unique needs and preferences.

THE TEAM
About me - Vanessa Boudier
I'm an ICF certified ADHD Life Coach, Clinical Supervisor, and Integrative Therapist with over 23 years of providing dedicated support to my clients.
My personal journey with ADHD and ASD began with my youngest child's diagnosis and later my own, giving me a unique, empathetic perspective that informs my professional life and enables me to connect with my clients to create trust and safety that facilitates understanding and ultimately change.
With a background rooted in a neurodiverse family, I understand and respect the profound impact of undiagnosed ADHD and Autism on individuals and their families.
I can support you with…
understanding what a diagnosis of ADHD really means for you and making sense of neurodiversity's impact for you before a diagnosis happened. This provides the foundation for your coaching and ensure changes are sustainable.
If you don't have a formal diagnosis we can work out how your symptoms and traits are impacting and put in place the support strategies to help move you forward as we coach together.
identifying and leveraging your strengths, values and abilities to build self-esteem.
creatively equipping you with coping skills, tools and practical systems to build confidence, and reach your full potential.
offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and build practical ways to be your best self. This supportive environment enables you to make the positive changes that transform your present into your future whilst you get to meet your desires.
And now the personal stuff! I am an ADHD woman who loves spending time with her family (children are all grown up and flown now but we still love hanging out together!), dogs, and horses and friends. Any other spare time is spent engaging in a whole host of other fast moving and usually noisy motorsports at various (usually sunny) places around the globe :)
If you like what you read and think we could be a good fit to work together book a complimentary call with me and we can take it from there. Really looking forward to hearing from you!
