1:1 Coaching 

Understand your unique brain, learn to work with it and build your personal toolkit that will empower you to realize your full potential

What is ADHD Coaching?

Coaching is a structured partnership focused on helping you clarify and achieve your goals, build skills, and improve how you move through daily life. 

It's future-focused, practical, and designed to create real change.

It provides a compassionate and non-judgmental space to think out loud and explore what you really need and want and how you get there. It helps you understand why certain things feel hard, uncover patterns you might not see on your own, build momentum through regular accountability.

My Approach: Transformational,

Not Transactional                           

I will help you transform your relationship with your ADHD and learn to understand, accept, and embrace how your brain works. Together, we move from focusing on what you struggle with—and trying to "soldier through"—to finding creative solutions based on your strengths, so that you can live the happy, satisfying, and meaningful life you deserve.

How?                        

  • We identify and harness your unique strengths

    Your talents, strengths and values are already there—together we’ll learn to recognise them and harness them purposefully

  • We create strategies tailored to you

    Generic advice doesn't work—your stories, your past successes, your resources do, what ignites your brain do. 

  • We identify the beliefs, stories, and patterns that keep you stuck

    so that you can regain a sense of ownership and agency on your own story

What Coaching is not                        

Coaching is not therapy or counselling – and it doesn’t offer medical advice or diagnosis.

Ethical coaches know the difference and refer to appropriate services when someone needs support that falls beyond their scope of practice.

What does the research say? 

Research on ADHD coaching is growing, and the findings are encouraging. A comprehensive review of 22 studies found that 17 out of 19 outcome studies showed improvements in executive functioning and ADHD symptoms (Ahmann et al., 2017).

A study on a 8-week coaching program for college students, held across different semesters and with a variety of coaches, showed significant improvement in all 10 areas of study and learning strategies, on self-esteem, and on measures of symptom distress and satisfaction with school and work (Prevatt & Yelland, 2015).

Research on adults with ADHD found coaching had a positive impact across multiple dimensions, including cognition, distractibility, inattention, and social and behavioural outcomes —with gains maintained over time (Kubik, 2010).

A pilot study on coaching as a complementary treatment found that clinical improvements were observed in 79.6% of participants, with improvements remaining stable at 6-month follow-up (García Ron et al., 2016).

More recent research on cognitive-behavioural coaching for adolescents with ADHD found 73–76% improvement in managing academic tasks and achievements (Mor & Moreno, 2025).

Testimonials

  • Before I started working with Dr Roberta, 7 months prior I received a late diagnosis of ADHD, (at age 38). I found the diagnosis so much harder than I first anticipated. Not only did I trial medication, some of which had adverse effects, I was not prepared for the lack of support I encountered. Self-advocating was exhausting and the countless times I had to explain how my ADHD and comorbidities affected my daily life started to make me feel incapable, I doubted myself, lost my self-esteem, and that combined with discrimination/ denial from others, then made me feel like I was exaggerating the impact this was having on me. I ended up on sick leave from work and It's fair to say I was at a very low point when seeking coaching. I would give anything to have had Dr Roberta's guidance at the beginning of all of this- the good news is ADHD Coaching has been life-changing. Which sounds far-fetched but only half way into our sessions, I'm beginning to find the person in me that I thought I had lost. I can't explain how thankful I am for this, it makes me emotional and proud whilst reflecting on how far I've come during this process. Having someone to talk to that genuinely understands and can relate, to affirm and validate what I'm feeling, the relief of knowing that my feelings are valid and being able to recognise the behaviours that are my ADHD and accepting they are a part of who I am, is a relief to say the least. My favourite part of coaching is the acceptance and forgiveness I've begun to find towards myself, and the strength this process has given me to want to try again, un-masked.

  • When I reached out to Roberta, Internalized PDA, Executive Dysfunction, and Perfectionism had robbed me of my hobbies. My brain said "no!" to all the things that were fun, that brought me joy. I have been to dozens of psychologists, social workers, and counsellors over the last decade and a half. While this has given me tremendous self awareness, it never made any impact on my ability to actually DO my hobbies. Roberta has been able to use the insights I've gained from therapy to help me develop Real, Actionable strategies that allow me to work around the trauma and life stressors. I am actually DOING the things I want to do!! I've only been working with Roberta for a month and a half, and the changes have been huge. Not only have I been regaining my ability to engage with and enjoy my hobbies, but the strategies she's helped me figure out are able to be applied to other aspects of my life, too. The biggest change, however, is the amount of Hope I have. I truly believe that, by continuing my work with Roberta, my life will become so, so much happier. I feel like Roberta really understands what I'm going through, on a medical AND personal level. Everyone deserves to feel Seen, and to receive Insights and Strategies that they can actually use to change their life for the better... and Roberta is someone who can truly provide that.

  • Roberta is not just a coach, she is a life transformer. She makes me feel safe and comfortable even while asking me powerful and thought provoking questions. She really understands people and has a knack for getting right to the heart of the matter straight away. Roberta's appreciation of the human experience is apparent in every conversation. I highly recommend Roberta.

    Yehuda, Educator, Israel

  • I found coaching with Roberta incredibly beneficial. After each coaching session, my chaotic thoughts have become structured, and I was able to see the bigger picture. Roberta is a wonderful thinking partner and helped me realize how I can build my business in a way that really suits my interests and my ADHD brain.

    Silvia, Entrepreneur, Switzerland

  • When I approached Roberta, I had just started a new job after leaving academia. I was burned out and stressed about managing both symptoms of burnout and ADHD all while starting a new job with very little time off/break between jobs. I had counseling in the past, and career coaching, but never with a focus on managing my ADHD and a coach with specialization in this area. I have worked with and supported neurodivergent children and their families for years. Working with Roberta, I was amazed to find that many of the supports and strategies I have taught for years can be applied in my HOME and in my work life. Since starting working with Roberta, I have given myself permission to utilize lots of strategies, and to try things I have never tried and may have never even thought to try for my own self until now. Roberta also helped me realize that I had been SO hard on myself in my old life, internally (and often subconsciously) beating myself up for not being or doing enough...when the job(s) had impossible expectations! Thanks to Roberta’s encouragement to think back at my “wins”, celebrate them, and dust them off (from the dust that perhaps others had kicked on), I started a journaling practice where I discovered SO much about all the "wins" over the past decade and more! I would recommend this coaching service to any friend...especially those with ADHD. Roberta has been able to quickly establish rapport with me, and has been able to encourage me to come up with solutions to my challenges on my own, but with expert guidance that I so desperately needed!

    Kara, Research Scientist, USA

  • I started working with Roberta, at a time when I was staying with my parents while taking a semester off from university, due to recurring severe depressive episodes, and a lack of understanding of my own mental health, which interfered with my personal wellbeing and academic performance. Working with Roberta is the best thing I did for my mental health. I tried psychological counselling before, which provided temporary relief, but the impact was short-lived. Through my work with Roberta, I started acquiring (and I am constantly expanding) an understanding of why my brain/internal dialogue defaults to certain thought patterns and behaviors. This has allowed me to develop a healthier relationship with tending to my needs and personal fulfillment in life, allowing myself what I deserve, and accepting help when in need. Roberta’s compassionate and non-judgmental approach and practical understanding of ADHD has helped massively in validating many of my struggles thus far in life, and making me not feel like a failure for struggling with them for so long. I would recommend working with Roberta with absolutely zero hesitation.

    Thomas, University Student, USA

  • Working with Roberta has sparked in me a new sense of hope for the future and more confidence in what I can do going forward. After years of indecisiveness, I made the decision to walk away from a profession that has always made me feel inauthentic. I gained the confidence to start a new career path, where I know I will be able to express my strengths at best and have a positive impact on others, and the clarity to know what needs to be done in the next couple of years do to get there. The first step towards this renewed hope and confidence was giving myself permission to genuinely grieve all the things I wasn’t able to do in the past. This has significantly reduced my level of anxiety and guilt. As a result, the organization of my daily life has become more fluid, less artificial, and more effective.

    Maddalena, Freelancer and student, Italy

  • When I first approached Roberta, I was at a dead end in terms of support for my ADHD. Small things like setting a daily work plan felt like massive uphill battles. Generic coaching through my employer was supportive, but their strategies didn’t stick. I became frustrated explaining myself, as they just didn’t understand ADHD. In my first session with Roberta, we came up with strategies together, and Roberta went further by pointing out unique hurdles due to ADHD, and how to overcome them. I didn’t need to explain myself, and it felt like a weight fell off. I finally felt supported and understood. Roberta understands not only the challenges of ADHD, but also working in academia and academic careers. Now I’m developing good work habits that are easier to maintain, and I have new strategies to make my brain work for me.

  • Our son Thomas started working with Roberta during a challenging period in his life. He was attending university, majoring in chemistry and French, while struggling with recurring bouts of depression, academic difficulties, low self-esteem, and negative self-talk. Before seeking help from the coach, we educated ourselves on the issues he was facing, and made decisions as a family with his well-being as a priority. We took him to several cognitive behavioral therapists, had him evaluated and tested for mental health conditions and disabilities, and had his IQ tested. Despite these efforts, he continued to face significant challenges. Since starting coaching, we’ve noticed remarkable improvements in Thomas. He has learned to embrace the value of organization, recognizing that while it’s difficult for him, it ultimately brings peace of mind and fulfillment. His communication skills have also improved, as he’s been able to express his struggles and needs more openly, which was a challenge due to his natural tendency toward privacy. Additionally, he has made progress in adapting ADHD management strategies to work for him and better serve his needs. Most importantly, his confidence has grown as he has seen his efforts translate into real, tangible results. Our relationship with the coach has been fantastic. She has been prompt in her communications, flexible with scheduling, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. We would wholeheartedly recommend this coaching service to others. The positive changes we’ve seen in Thomas have been profound, and he is now both happier and more hopeful about his future. The coach’s professionalism, compassion, and insight into how we can better support and communicate with our son have been invaluable.

  • I started working with Roberta when I needed to finish my PhD dissertation and MA thesis in time to start my job. I had been working on my dissertation for years and needed help figuring out how to just finish it while dealing with all the life changes related to moving and starting a new job. I had tried dissertation coaching for a while, but it didn’t seem to help that much. I would put together a writing/research plan with the help of the dissertation coach but then had a hard time following through because we weren’t addressing the underlying issues. Roberta helped me understand that what I need help with wasn’t the “hard” stuff (like research and writing), but what we tend to think of as the “easy” stuff (like sitting down to write, figuring out how to leave the house on time, planning ahead to make sure lunch is taken care of, etc.). Indeed, with Roberta’s support, I got the PhD in time to start my job (and finished an MA in a different discipline too!).   Coaching hasn't just been instrumentally valuable by helping me get my work done—I've also learned a lot about how to support myself and others. Because Roberta have been this consistent supportive and encouraging presence in my life over the past year, I now have a mental model of what it looks like to take a supportive and compassionate approach. I don't think I've ever had a model for that before. The sessions with Roberta always feel like a totally judgment-free zone. It feels like nothing is too insignificant to bring up and it’s totally okay (and often helpful!) if tricky feelings come up around something we’re discussing. I would absolutely recommend working with Roberta. In fact, I already have. Her warm-heartedness, non-judgmental curiosity and super-sharp insights make her a great coach!
