ADHD Coaching

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD in my thirties, I know what it’s like to have to grapple with that kind of diagnosis so late in life. I experienced all of the shame, anger, sorrow, and relief that can arise when you suddenly have a new understanding of how you exist in the world after years of feeling like something wasn’t quite right.

My coaching style is compassionate and non-judgmental, and I create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel comfortable exploring their values and the changes they’d like to make. I am committed to helping others achieve lasting upgrades and create a life that is aligned with their deepest values and aspirations. My clients come away from our sessions with greater self-awareness, increased confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose that allows them to thrive in all areas of their lives.

Looking to shake off those limiting beliefs, tackle the roadblocks in your way, and create a life that actually feels right for you? Let’s team up! I’d love to support you in figuring out what you really want and how to make it happen. Click below to grab a time slot or reach out to learn more about how my ADHD coaching can help you thrive.

“I was diagnosed with ADHD just months before my 40th birthday and felt adrift, unsure where to seek assistance. My world suddenly made sense; the traditional productivity methods hadn’t clicked, I felt burnout so deeply, and despite being lauded for creativity and insight, basic tasks remained elusive. Then, I discovered Marion, or perhaps she discovered me. Working with Marion ADHD Coaching has exceeded all expectations. She offers invaluable grounding, guidance, coaching, and a wealth of resources. Her support has been indispensable on this journey of understanding my ADHD. ☆☆☆☆☆”

What is a coaching session like?

Coaching is time we set aside to really look at what's going on for you. We're not trying to fix everything in one sitting, but we are beginning to notice the patterns and be conscious to the changes you want to make.

Coaching sessions are typically 50 minutes long and cover the items below:

You bring a topic, or we find one together.
We name what you actually want out of the session. If you don't know yet, that's a fine place to start.
We work through it with questions, somatic practices, and checking in on what's happening in your body, not just your head.
We land on something to try before next time, small enough to actually happen.
We talk about what you noticed, what shifted, what didn't.
We set up accountability for the time in between and commit to it.

What types of things can I talk about in coaching?

We can talk about whatever is on your mind at the moment, but here are some potential options:

Task paralysis
Rejection sensitivity and the spirals that come with it
Burnout, especially when you have to keep going
Patterns you've tried to break before and keep running into
Boundaries… it’s always boundaries, isn’t it?
Time and emotional regulation
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Career, relationship, and life goals that fit how your brain actually works
Goals in your career, relationships, and other facets of your life.

It's a safe space to discuss problems and goals or visions you have for yourself with the accountability and structure you need to make what you desire become a reality.

Is there homework?

Sometimes. It truly depends what you want and need. We'll usually come up with one action step to try between sessions, since that's where a lot of the change actually happens. But you decide what it looks like and how far to take it.

How is coaching different than therapy?

Coaching tends to be more present and future focused. We ask questions like, "What do you want?" and "How can you create that for yourself?"

Therapy often focuses on the past to figure out how you came to where you are right now. Therapists generally ask more "Why?" questions and help you to understand ho your past experiences have shaped your present.

My Training & Approach

I work at the intersection of ADHD and the body. Executive function isn't only a thinking problem — a lot of it lives in the nervous system. So alongside the usual coaching questions, we can also explore somatic practices, noticing what's actually happening in your body as it's happening, so the insight you already have has somewhere to go.
