Five tabs open in your brain and none of them finished? You're not alone, and it's not a lack of trying. It's just how your brain works. That's exactly what ADHD coaching is built for.

What Is ADHD Coaching?

ADHD coaching is practical, hands on support that helps you build systems and strategies that actually work for your brain, rather than trying to force yourself into a system built for someone else.

Who Delivers ADHD Coaching at VHC?

ADHD coaching at Very Helpful Chats is offered by our team of occupational therapists and psychologists. They work with you one on one to spot what's getting in the way day to day, and help you build strategies to work around it, tailored specifically to you rather than a one size fits all approach.

Our clinicians draw from different perspectives and approaches, so we work with you to find the right clinician, and the right fit, for your ADHD coaching.

How Can ADHD Coaching Help You?

Our team can help ADHDers with strategies and skills to get started on important tasks and projects, switch tasks when needed, organise and plan more effectively, remember important commitments, improve focus, work out how to stay motivated, and learn to better self monitor and regulate when impulsivity, hyperactivity, or heightened emotions get in the way.

Struggling to start tasks? Like a coach breaking a big game plan into smaller drills, your coach helps you break vague, overwhelming jobs into steps small enough that starting doesn't feel impossible.
Losing track of time? A good coach doesn't run the same drill for every player. Together, you'll build routines and reminders that work with your brain, not ones you'll abandon in a week.
Does your brain jump between ideas fast? Your coach helps you build reminders and visual systems that keep up with how you actually think, so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
Burning out by 3pm? Just like pacing a game across four quarters, coaching helps you map your energy across the day, so demanding tasks land when you've actually got the capacity for them.
