Psychology or ADHD Coaching
Which one’s right for you?
If you're unsure where to start, use the checklist below to explore what kind of support may be the best fit right now.
Psychological Support may be more appropriate if you:
Are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or emotional distress
Have a history of trauma or are struggling with past experiences
Need support with self-esteem, shame, or identity concerns related to ADHD
Are seeking a formal diagnosis or review of your mental health
Want to explore the why behind long-standing patterns or internal barriers
Have a referral under a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or psychiatrist
ADHD Coaching may be a good fit if you:
Are looking for practical, goal-focused support
Want help building routines, managing time, or setting priorities
Are seeking tools and strategies that align with how you work best
Are navigating a recent or self-identified diagnosis and want to move forward
Prefer a collaborative, non-clinical space focused on action, reflection, and momentum
Are ready to explore values-based decision-making and life design
Psychology offers the space and guidance to explore what lies beneath, layer by layer, at a pace that respects your inner terrain.
You’re the one climbing, but the coach is on belay: holding the rope, reading the route, and helping you stay on track.
Do you need therapy or coaching for ADHD?
Both can be helpful, but they offer different kinds of support depending on your needs, goals, and where you are in your journey. Watch the video for a quick overview,
In this video, Dr Maria Daves explores the key differences between ADHD coaching and therapy, and how to decide which is right for you.
ADHD and Walk & Talk ?
Many adults with ADHD find walk and talk sessions especially helpful. Movement can support focus, reduce mental fatigue, and make it easier to engage with reflective or strategic thinking. Being outdoors and movement can reduce overstimulation for some people, creating a different environment for processing ideas, setting goals, or troubleshooting challenges.
