Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis?

Not necessarily to work with me privately. Access to Work has its own eligibility and evidence requirements, so if you're hoping to have your coaching funded, your individual circumstances will be considered as part of your application.

Can Access to Work pay for ADHD coaching?

Access to Work may fund support to help you manage ADHD-related barriers at work. Current DWP guidance includes coping-strategy support, and specialist workplace coaching may be funded where it is considered appropriate for your individual needs. Funding is always decided by Access to Work.

I'm self-employed. Can I apply for Access to Work?

Potentially, yes. Access to Work is available to eligible self-employed people as well as employees. There are specific eligibility requirements for self-employment, so it's worth checking the current guidance before applying.

Can I choose my own ADHD coach?

If you're applying for funding and would like to work with me, get in touch. I can provide a formal quotation and details of the proposed coaching for you to share with Access to Work. Your adviser will ultimately confirm what support and costs they will fund.

I've already been awarded ADHD coaching. What do I do?

Brilliant - send me an enquiry and let me know how many sessions you've been awarded and the approved rate or total budget, if this is shown on your award. I'll then check whether I can provide the support within your award and send you any provider information or quotation you need.

What if Access to Work approves fewer than 12 sessions?

That's absolutely fine. Creating Clarity at Work can be adapted to the number of sessions you've been awarded. We'll identify your most important workplace outcomes and prioritise our time around those.

Can I work with you without Access to Work funding?

Yes. You don't need Access to Work funding to have ADHD coaching with me. If you're paying privately, get in touch and I'll talk you through the most appropriate coaching option.

Is ADHD coaching therapy?

No. ADHD coaching is practical and forward-focused. We'll look at the barriers you're experiencing at work, understand what's contributing to them and develop strategies you can test in your real working life. Coaching doesn't replace therapy, medical treatment or advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.

Creating Clarity at Work

ADHD Workplace Coaching & Access to Work ADHD Coaching

Practical, personalised coaching to help you work with your ADHD brain and not constantly fight against it.

Whether you're employed, running your own business or leading a team, ADHD can make the demands of work feel disproportionately difficult.

You might be brilliant at the big ideas but struggle to get started on the small things. You may constantly feel behind, overwhelmed by competing priorities, lose track of time or find yourself relying on last-minute pressure just to get things done.

Creating Clarity at Work is specialist 1:1 ADHD workplace coaching designed to help you understand what's getting in your way and develop practical strategies that genuinely work for you.

Does this sound familiar?

You might:

Know exactly what you need to do but still can't seem to start
Have 27 things that all feel equally urgent
Spend your day reacting rather than working on what matters
Regularly underestimate how long things will take
Create new systems, only to abandon them a few weeks later
Swing between intense hyperfocus and complete overwhelm
Find emails, admin or routine tasks disproportionately difficult
Overcommit because judging your actual capacity is hard
Feel exhausted from trying to appear organised and on top of everything
Have been diagnosed later in life and be wondering how much of your working life suddenly makes sense

You're not looking for another productivity system. You need strategies designed around the way your brain actually works.

What we can work on:

Creating Clarity at Work is personalised to you, your role and the particular barriers ADHD creates in your working life.

Coaching may include executive function, prioritisation, procrastination and task initiation, time management, planning, working memory, organisation, managing competing demands, overwhelm, emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, delegation, energy management, hyperfocus and creating sustainable ways of working.

The aim isn't to make you work like somebody without ADHD.

It's to help you find your way of working well.

I particularly support...

Founders & business owners

Running a business can magnify ADHD challenges.

You're not managing one job. You're managing clients, sales, finances, emails, marketing, strategy, administration, people while probably having another three business ideas before breakfast.

My background in executive and operational support means I understand the practical realities of running a business as well as the ADHD challenges behind them.

We'll work on strategies that help you manage those demands more effectively rather than me stepping in and doing the work for you.

Late-diagnosed adults
A later ADHD diagnosis can be incredibly validating — and also leave you reassessing decades of your life.

Coaching gives you somewhere to explore what ADHD actually looks like for you, understand patterns that previously didn't make sense and start building strategies based on that understanding.

Women navigating perimenopause & menopause

Hormonal changes can affect ADHD symptoms and the strategies that previously helped you cope may suddenly feel much less effective.

Coaching can help you reassess your workload, capacity, systems, boundaries and ways of working
during this transition.

Coaching does not replace medical advice or menopause treatment.

The Creating Clarity at Work programme

Where appropriate, coaching can follow a structured 12-session programme, tailored to your individual needs.

We start by identifying your particular workplace barriers and what you'd genuinely like to change.

From there, we can explore areas such as planning and prioritisation, task initiation, time and workload management, systems that work with your brain, overwhelm, communication and boundaries, sustainable capacity and developing your own personal ADHD operating system.

We'll measure progress along the way, adapt strategies that aren't working and finish by creating your personalised Clarity at Work Plan.

So you don't leave coaching with a pile of notes.

You leave knowing what works for you.

About your coach

Hi, I'm Amanda.

I'm an ADHD Coach trained with ADHD Works, having completed CPD-certified specialist ADHD coach training, with a professional background supporting founders and senior leaders with the practical and operational demands of running organisations.

I particularly work with founders and business owners, late-diagnosed adults and women navigating ADHD alongside perimenopause and menopause.

My coaching style is practical, collaborative and non-judgemental. I'm less interested in telling you how you should work and much more interested in figuring out why something isn't working and what we can change to make it easier.

I also bring lived experience of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life so I understand that sometimes the biggest moment of clarity is realising:

“Oh. THAT'S why I do that.”

What happens next?

1. Tell me a little about you
Complete the short enquiry form and tell me what you'd like support with. If you already have Access to Work funding, you can give me the details too.

2. We'll check we're a good fit
I'll look at what you're hoping to get from coaching and whether I'm the right person to support you.

3. We'll sort the paperwork
If you're using Access to Work funding, I'll provide the quotation and provider information you need. If you're funding coaching privately, I'll confirm your options with you.

4. We start creating clarity
We'll begin with your Initial Workplace Coaching Assessment, agree what you'd like to change and start developing strategies around your actual working life.
