How to become an ADHD Coach

Saison 1 · Épisode 219

lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 18:51

Have you ever felt drawn to help others navigate the unique challenges and strengths that come with ADHD, yet wondered what it truly takes to call yourself an ADHD coach?

In this episode, we explore one of the questions we're asked most often;

How to become an ADHD coach.

As more people receive ADHD diagnoses, many coaches are curious about how they can ethically and effectively support this community. Through our discussion, we share insights from our experience as accredited training providers and as coaches who work extensively in the neurodivergent space.

We begin by unpacking the difference between being a coach who works with clients who have ADHD and being an ADHD specialist coach. That distinction matters, because it shapes how you present yourself in the market and the depth of knowledge you need to support clients responsibly.

We discuss why true ADHD coaching requires more than a quick online certificate. Coaching neurodivergent clients demands strong foundational coaching skills and a deep understanding of neurodivergence, trauma, and inclusivity. Ethical practice starts with accreditation, understanding professional standards, codes of conduct, and trauma-informed approaches.

We also reflect on the importance of seeing clients as whole people, not as a label or diagnosis. While ADHD may influence how someone experiences the world, it doesn't define them. In every coaching conversation, we meet individuals with careers, relationships, goals, and emotions that extend far beyond their diagnosis.

A powerful part of our conversation focuses on lived experience. Many aspiring ADHD coaches are themselves neurodivergent, which brings empathy and connection, but it can also blur professional boundaries. We explore how to honour that lived experience without projecting it onto clients and how supervision and reflective practice protect both coach and client.

As we close, we talk about the routes available for coaches who want to deepen their expertise, from our Level 7 Coaching Qualification to our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching Essentials and full Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching Programme. Whether you're starting your coaching journey or looking to specialise, this episode offers a grounded view of what ethical, inclusive ADHD coaching looks like in practice.

02:35 – Understanding co-occurring conditions and the importance of inclusivity
04:29 – Why short ADHD coach training courses can be misleading
05:47 – Seeing the whole person, not just the diagnosis

14:20 – How neurodivergence changes the way we interpret client behaviour

Key Lessons Learned:

Ethical ADHD coaching begins with strong, accredited foundational coaching skills.
ADHD rarely exists in isolation; understanding co-occurring conditions is vital.
Lived experience can build trust, but reflection and supervision protect the coaching relationship.
Trauma-informed and inclusive practice are essential for supporting neurodivergent clients.
True specialism requires depth, time, and commitment, not a quick online course.
Clients want coaches who understand their individuality, not their label.
Accreditation demonstrates professionalism and builds client confidence.

How to Train as a Coach when Working Full Time

Saison 1 · Épisode 218

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 20:00

Have you ever wondered how people manage to train as a coach while juggling a full-time job, family, and everything else life throws their way?

In this episode, we explore one of the most common questions we hear:

How can I train as a coach when I already work full time?

We know from experience that most people who come to train with us are balancing busy lives, full-time jobs, caring responsibilities, and personal commitments. And yet, many find that their coaching qualification becomes the highlight of their week, a time to step into a space that's entirely for them.

We talk about the practicalities, mindset, and support systems that make this possible. From flexible formats and payment options to honest conversations with employers, we share the approaches that have helped hundreds of learners succeed in training while working full time.

We discuss the range of formats available, including evening, morning, weekend, and self-guided options, and how learners find creative ways to integrate their studies into their lives. Whether it's fitting in lessons during lunch breaks, listening to content while walking the dog, or negotiating time off work, there are countless routes to make it work.

Beyond logistics, we explore the mindset that makes the biggest difference. Training to be a coach isn't only a professional investment, it's a personal one. The moment you shift from asking "Am I ready?" to "How can I make this work?", everything changes.

We share personal stories from our own coaching journeys, from completing qualifications with young children to navigating demanding roles, and the lessons that shaped how we now support others through this process.

We also talk about the value of employer sponsorship and how organisations increasingly recognise coaching as a way to develop culture, leadership and connection within teams. Many of our learners find that their organisations not only support them financially but also benefit from the ripple effects of their growth.

By the end of this episode, you'll come away with practical tools, encouragement and the reassurance that training to be a coach while working full time isn't only possible, it could be one of the most transformative decisions you ever make.

How to Deepen Reflective Practice

Saison 1 · Épisode 209

lundi 1 septembre 2025 • Durée 22:30

Have you ever wondered how much deeper your coaching could go if you paused to reflect in a more intentional way?

In this episode of The Coaching Crowd, we explore how reflective practice is the often-overlooked skill that truly elevates coaching. While questioning and listening skills usually get the spotlight, it is reflection that helps us to grow as coaches, find closure with clients, and unlock fresh insight.

As we spoke, we found ourselves noticing how reflective practice is both a personal and professional discipline. It is not about criticising yourself for what you missed, but instead about compassionately noticing what you learned, how you showed up, and how you can expand your practice.

We share a series of reflective questions that you can use for yourself or with your clients, such as:

How am I feeling now?
How present and attuned was I during that coaching session?
What habits was I using, and what new experiments could I try next time?
What biases or assumptions might have shaped how I showed up?

Together, we explore the difference between reflecting in practice (while in session) and reflecting on practice (afterwards), and how both can help you become more present, more courageous, and more flexible as a coach. We also talk about how reflective practice can happen in different ways, through journaling, walking, recording your thoughts aloud, or even using creative prompts like music and drawing.

One of our personal reflections from this conversation was how important it is to approach reflection with kindness. Growth does not come from berating yourself, but from curiosity and compassion. Reflective practice is a muscle, and with practice, it grows stronger.

This episode is full of questions and perspectives that will help you deepen your practice, connect with your clients at a deeper level, and continue your journey of lifelong learning.

Timestamps:

00:50 – Why reflective practice matters in coaching
02:12 – Reflecting in practice vs reflecting on practice
03:00 – Using body awareness as a catalyst for reflection
05:21 – Balancing solution-focus with presence
06:47 – The importance of compassion in reflection
08:34 – Exploring habits and courage in coaching
09:52 – The role of client feedback in reflective practice
11:14 – Finding your personal style of reflection
12:36 – Considering bias and self-development
14:25 – Reflection as a muscle to build over time
16:11 – Creative approaches to reflective practice
18:32 – Reflection as an ongoing process rather than quick clarity
19:23 – The role of CPD in deepening reflection
21:19 – Lifelong learning and growth as a coach

Key Lessons Learned:

Reflective practice is the foundation for deepening your coaching, beyond questioning and listening skills.
Compassion and curiosity are essential, reflection should not become self-criticism.
Presence, energy, and body awareness are powerful entry points for reflection.
Exploring habits, courage, and biases helps coaches to avoid falling into fixed patterns.
Creative methods such as drawing, music, or recording can unlock new layers of reflection.
Reflection is not about finding instant answers, but about allowing insight to emerge over time.
CPD and lifelong learning naturally deepen reflective practice.
