Access To Work ADHD Coaching
Get ADHD Coaching through Access to Work (UK)
With the Access to Work Scheme, your ADHD coaching can be fully funded. Which means you don’t have to carry this alone, or pay out of pocket.
If you’ve been approved for Access to Work funding and offered ADHD coping strategy coaching, you’re in the right place.
I’m a qualified ADHD Coach and Solution Focused Psychotherapist, and I provide Access to Work–funded ADHD coaching for professionals across the UK.
What is Access to Work?
The Access to Work scheme is a UK government grant that provides practical support for disabled and neurodivergent people in employment.
If you have ADHD or AuDHD, you may be offered:
- ADHD coping strategy training
- Workplace strategy coaching
- Neurodiversity coaching
- Executive functioning support
They’re often different names for the same thing: structured, practical coaching to help you work with your ADHD brain.
How ADHD coping strategy training works
Access to Work coaching is usually delivered as a fixed package of sessions. Because of that, we keep things focused and practical.
In our first session, we’ll:
- Clarify the challenges that are having the biggest impact, at work and in life
- Identify your strengths and natural ways of thinking
- Create a personalised “strategy roadmap” for our time together
- From there, we build practical tools you can actually use, refining and adjusting as we go.
Warm. Collaborative. No shame. No “just try harder” energy.
Is it different from ADHD Coaching?
Not really, but the focus is tighter. When coaching is funded through Access to Work, we keep sessions:
- Structured
- Workplace-focused
- Goal-oriented
- Strategy-driven
We’ll absolutely make space for self-understanding and unmasking (because that matters). But we’ll also stay anchored in practical change that improves your working life quickly and sustainably.
What we can focus on in our sessions
Every brain is different, but common areas include:
- Time management & realistic planning
- Prioritising without paralysis
- Task initiation (starting the thing)
- Managing overwhelm & emotional regulation
- Reducing burnout cycles
- Focus & distraction
- Project planning
- Communication in the workplace
- Navigating sensory challenges
- Building sustainable routines
- Managing workload in high-pressure roles
If you’re someone who looks “fine” on the outside but feel like you’re white-knuckling your way through the week, this is exactly what ADHD support is for.
Why work with me?
As well as being trained in ADHD Coaching, I'm also a qualified psychotherapist. And... I have my own lived experience with ADHD. I understand:
- The hyperfocus / burnout cycle
- The overthinking
- The last-minute sprints
- The pressure of “high potential”
- The friction of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical workplace
I also understand the strengths (creativity, intuition, big-picture thinking, resilience) and how to harness them without frying your nervous system.
My approach combines ADHD coaching with neuroscience-informed tools for smart, practical support.
