Understanding ADHD empowers best lives
A few words on coaching children (under 18's)
Therefore parents should access my services to develop their own capacity, as parents and for their personal well-being.
Parental capacity has never been more stretched, I understand that too.
Many variables in a child's life can affect ADHD symptom severity and manifestations. These include sleep, relationships, co-existing conditions, medication, transitions, the list goes on.
Everyone within a child's circle of support must understand how ADHD shows up in a child's life. I am developing the tools to enhance multi-disciplinary working to help achieve this.
My experience of teaching in the UK included multi-disciplinary working, as part of 'Every Child Matters' - an initiative to safeguard children's well-being. I have extensive personal experience of this matter also.
I get it
I am not a mental health professional.
ADHD coaching can compliment any existing mental health treatment - but not replace it.
