Online ADHD Coaching Services Teenagers, Young Adults, Parents

At Next Steps ADHD Coaching, I provide online ADHD coaching for teenagers, young adults and parents, helping them develop practical, realistic strategies that make everyday life feel more manageable. My sessions are a comfortable space that is tailored to the person in front of me.

ADHD Parent Coaching and Support

Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel confusing and isolating; and you deserve support too. These sessions give you space to understand your child’s needs, reduce stress at home, and feel more confident in how to help.

  • understanding ADHD in everyday life

  • reducing conflict and overwhelm

  • building routines that work for your family

  • supporting emotional regulation

  • communication strategies

  • helping your child feel understood and valued

ADHD Coaching for Young Adults (16+)

This stage is full of big transitions; college, uni, moving out, first jobs, new routines, more independence. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially with ADHD in the mix.

  • managing deadlines

  • staying organised

  • building independence (money, routines, life admin)

  • coping with change and uncertainty

  • navigating friendships + relationships

  • understanding ADHD in adult life

  • building confidence + self‑advocacy

ADHD Coaching for Teenagers (11-15)

School pressure, friendships, emotions, organisation, motivation; it’s a lot. Coaching gives young people space to understand their brain and build tools that help them feel more in control.

  • managing schoolwork without overwhelm

  • building routines that actually stick

  • understanding emotions + big feelings

  • confidence and self‑esteem

  • organisation and planning

  • reducing conflict at home

  • building self‑advocacy skills (speaking up, asking for help)

You might spend hours worrying about an assignment but still not be able to start it. Put off revision even though you know the exam is getting closer. Forget something you were determined to remember, or feel completely overwhelmed trying to work out where to begin. Over time, it's easy to start believing you're lazy, not trying hard enough or simply “bad at” school.

For parents, it can be just as difficult. You may feel as though you've tried everything- reminders, routines, planners, rewards but nothing seems to stick. What starts as worry can quickly become frustration, arguments and a feeling that you just don't know what else to try.

And sometimes things become harder at college or university, when the structure and reminders that helped at school disappear and there's suddenly much more to manage independently.

Coaching isn't about trying harder or finding another system that someone says should work. It gives young people space to understand what's actually getting in the way, without judgement, and find practical ways forward that work for them.

ADHD Coaching for School, College & University

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing that you're capable, but not understanding why things that seem straightforward for everyone else feel so difficult.
