ADHD Coaching in London for Adults and Teenagers
At the London Psychiatry Clinic, our specialist ADHD coaches offer warm, collaborative, and practical support tailored to your goals. ADHD coaching provides a focused space to better understand how your brain works, explore your strengths, and develop strategies that truly work for you.
ADHD can affect many areas of life, from managing work or school demands and personal relationships to staying on top of routines and responsibilities. Our coaches are here to help you build effective habits, navigate life transitions, and feel more in control and empowered in the areas that matter most to you.
What Is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaching is a structured, goal-focused approach that supports individuals in improving specific aspects of their personal, academic, or professional lives. While therapy often explores emotional or psychological history, coaching is future-focused and action-oriented.
An ADHD coach works with you to:
- Identify your goals and values
- Understand how ADHD affects your day-to-day life
- Develop tools and systems that work with your strengths
- Build structure, routine, and accountability
Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all model, it’s a personalised process that helps you learn new ways of approaching challenges and achieving progress that feels meaningful.
You don’t need a formal ADHD diagnosis to benefit from coaching. Many people who experience ADHD-like traits, such as distractibility, disorganisation, or difficulty managing time, find coaching helpful and empowering. If you’re unsure whether ADHD is contributing to your challenges, we also offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for both adults and children as well as a free online ADHD test for adults.
ADHD Coaching for Adults
Adult life often requires juggling multiple responsibilities, from managing work deadlines and home life to maintaining relationships and emotional balance. These demands can feel especially challenging when living with ADHD. Our coaching for adults offers a structured, supportive space to uncover what’s getting in the way and build sustainable strategies that support your goals, strengths, and sense of direction.
ADHD coaching can support adults in areas such as:
- Managing professional responsibilities and deadlines
- Improving communication and relationships
- Balancing work, family, and personal needs
- Navigating procrastination, burnout, or overwhelm
- Enhancing emotional regulation and decision-making
Our coaches work alongside you to create a sustainable structure that aligns with your lifestyle, values, and long-term goals.

ADHD Coaching for Adolescents & Teenagers (Aged 12+)
Adolescence can be a particularly challenging time for young people with ADHD. Coaching offers a structured, supportive environment where they can build skills, develop self-confidence, and better understand their strengths.
Common focus areas include:
- Study support, revision planning, and exam preparation
- Developing organisational and time management strategies
- Navigating social pressures and peer relationships
- Managing emotions and building self-esteem
- Preparing for academic transitions (e.g. GCSEs, A-levels, university)
ADHD coaches for teenagers:
- Helen Curran: for young people aged 12+
- Jonathan Lipitch: for young people aged 14+
Both Helen and Jonathan bring a calm, compassionate, and age-appropriate approach to coaching that helps young people feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.
Does ADHD Coaching Work?
Research suggests that structured ADHD coaching programmes can offer meaningful improvements in both academic and emotional outcomes for young people. A recent clinical study found that consistent coaching sessions over an 8-week period significantly improved working memory, neurocognitive functioning, and academic performance in neurodivergent children. The study highlights the value of regular, structured support in helping young people build confidence and stay motivated in learning tasks.
In another large-scale study involving 148 university students with ADHD, participants who took part in an 8-week coaching programme reported significant gains across all 10 areas of study and learning strategies, alongside improved self-esteem and reduced symptom distress, including:
- Time management skills improved by 41%
- Concentration levels increased by 27%
- Satisfaction with school or work improved by 21%
Together, these findings emphasise how ADHD coaching can be a powerful tool in building focus, structure, and a renewed sense of confidence in a young person’s life.
ADHD Coaching vs Therapy: What’s the Difference?
While ADHD coaching and therapy can work well together, they focus on different aspects of wellbeing and personal development.
ADHD Coaching
- Practical and future-focused
- Aims to improve executive functioning (organisation, time management, focus)
- Helps build action-oriented strategies to improve habits and routines
- Often used alongside other support (e.g. psychiatry or therapy)
ADHD Therapy
- Explores emotional and psychological experiences
- Navigate the impact of living with ADHD or other neurodivergent experiences
- Treat other mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression)
- Helps process past trauma and build emotional resilience
- Offers a space for reflection and emotional insight
