Pills don’t give you skills: why ADHD coaching matters

Getting an ADHD diagnosis can feel a bit like walking into a really messy room. You know something’s not right, but the chaos is so overwhelming that you don’t even know where to begin.

When I first started ADHD medication, it was like putting on a pair of glasses. Suddenly, I could see the mess more clearly. The fog lifted a little. I could focus better, and life felt slightly more manageable. But it wasn’t the magic cure I’d read about – not even close.

Would you choose to have ADHD again if you could live your life over?

It’s a powerful question – and one I often reflect on, both personally and with the women I support in my coaching practice.

How does ADHD show up in your life, and how do you feel about it now, knowing what you know?

For me, the answer is clear. Yes – if I had the chance to live my life over, I would absolutely choose to have ADHD again.

This March, I had the privilege of speaking at two incredible events for International Women’s Day, both focused on ADHD, perimenopause, and the unique challenges women face when navigating late diagnosis.

Getting an ADHD assessment in the UK can be a lengthy process, but here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate it:

ADHD coaching is unregulated, so it’s essential to find someone with proper training, supervision, and ethical standards.

When we talk about hormones and their effects on ADHD, much of the conversation centres around oestrogen and progesterone. But there's another key player that often gets overlooked—testosterone.

For many women, perimenopause can feel like an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Throw ADHD into the mix, and things can become even more challenging. One key player in this story is progesterone, a hormone that tends to decline during perimenopause. While much attention is often placed on oestrogen, it’s essential to understand how progesterone changes can also impact ADHD symptoms.

For many of us with ADHD, we’ve lived our lives with the common, painful belief that we are lazy, stupid, or simply not good enough. This inner dialogue can be incredibly damaging, shaping self-esteem and limiting our potential. But why do these thoughts exist in the first place? What contributes to these beliefs, and how can they be reframed into a healthier perspective?

Sleep is vital for everyone, but its role in mental and physical well-being becomes even more crucial when you’re navigating ADHD or perimenopause.

Executive functions are a set of mental skills that help us manage our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to achieve goals. Often likened to the brain's "command centre," these skills play a crucial role in how we plan, organise, and carry out tasks in everyday life.

Have you ever caught yourself apologising for things you don’t need to? Saying “sorry” when you’re not at fault, or even for just existing? If you have ADHD this might feel all too familiar. It’s a pattern that many of us struggle with, but why is it so common, and how can we break free from it?
