ADHD Coaching in Scarborough In-Person | Online Across Ontario and Nova Scotia

Grounded and compassionate strategies shaped for the way your brain works.

What ADHD coaching can help you with

ADHD coaching offers practical, encouraging support for the parts of daily life that feel harder than they “should” be. Many people notice that ADHD impacts not just focus, but also motivation, emotional responses, routines, and confidence.

Coaching can help with things like:

  • Daily routines that feel hard to maintain

  • Time management and planning

  • Navigating overwhelm or emotional intensity

  • Procrastination and getting started

  • Breaking big tasks into doable steps

  • Following through on goals

  • Managing expectations at school, work, or home

  • Understanding your ADHD patterns and strengths

The process is collaborative and supportive. Together, you’ll build systems that feel realistic, sustainable, and tailored to the way your brain works.

  • Planning and prioritizing tasks

  • Navigating work expectations and deadlines

  • Managing emotional overwhelm

ADHD coaching for teens

As schoolwork and responsibilities grow, many teens notice ADHD showing up in new or unexpected ways. Coaching helps teens feel more confident, more understood, and better able to manage both academic pressures and everyday life.

Teen ADHD coaching can support:

  • Study habits and assignment planning

  • Managing distractions

  • Emotional regulation during stressful moments

  • Time management and scheduling

  • Task initiation and follow-through

  • Balancing school, activities, and rest

  • Preparing for transitions into high school, college, or university

ADHD coaching for children

Younger children thrive with coaching approaches that are playful, supportive, and developmentally appropriate. Parent involvement is woven in so strategies can be reinforced consistently at home.

Child ADHD coaching can help with:

  • Morning and after-school routines

  • Following instructions and starting tasks

  • Managing big emotions

  • Building confidence

  • Supporting social interactions and play

  • Developing early problem-solving skills

Children learn best when strategies feel encouraging and achievable. Parents receive practical guidance to help create steady support at home.

Parents often come to coaching when they want to better understand their child’s needs or create a calmer, more predictable home environment. Parent coaching offers tools that help families feel grounded and connected, especially during challenging moments.

Parent ADHD coaching can support you with:

  • Understanding ADHD through a strengths-focused lens

  • Reducing conflict when things feel tense

  • Supporting routines and transitions

  • Communicating effectively with teachers or schools

  • Creating structure that fits your child’s needs

  • Responding to big feelings with confidence

Many parents tell us coaching helps them feel more prepared, more supported, and less alone in the day-to-day of raising a child with ADHD.

What to expect with ADHD coaching

Every coaching relationship looks a little different because every person’s needs are different. But most sessions blend reflection, planning, strategy development, and real-life practice.

  • We begin by exploring what you want support with, like routines, motivation, academic demands, work responsibilities, emotional regulation, or anything else that’s been feeling heavy.

  • You’ll get curious about what helps you stay regulated and what tends to derail you: pressure, sensory needs, competing demands, or even subtle patterns that haven’t been named yet.

  • Your coach introduces tools that fit your goals and your learning style. This may include scheduling supports, task breakdowns, environmental adjustments, or emotional-regulation strategies.

  • You take what you’ve learned into real life. When we meet again, we talk about what went well, what didn’t, and where you might want to tweak things.

  • Coaching evolves with you. As you grow and things shift, we continue refining strategies so they feel grounded, doable, and genuinely supportive. This isn’t one-size-fits-all.

How we support you with ADHD coaching

ADHD shows up differently for everyone, which means support needs to be just as individualized.

Our coaching combines practical tools, emotionally attuned guidance, and strategies tailored to how your (or your child’s) brain works.

ADHD coaching tools

Concrete tools we use to make routines and learning feel easier:

  • Visual aids — charts, checklists, and diagrams that make ideas clearer and easier to remember

  • Sensory tools — fidgets, textures, or grounding objects to help manage energy and focus

  • Structured routines — visual schedules and predictable steps that reduce overwhelm

  • Chunking — breaking tasks into smaller, doable pieces

  • Explicit instructions — clear, step-by-step guidance for all ages

  • Time-management supports — timers, calendars, alerts, and planning tools that match your preferences

These tools aren’t one-size-fits-all. We try things together, keep what works, and adjust what doesn’t.

ADHD coaching practices

The way we approach support matters just as much as the tools:

  • Task prioritization — deciding what needs attention now versus later

  • Collaboration — communication with parents, educators, or care teams

  • Flexibility — strategies that shift as your needs shift

  • Positive reinforcement — celebrating effort to build confidence and momentum

  • Movement breaks — short, intentional pauses to reset energy

  • Active learning — hands-on practice that makes strategies stick

  • For students

    • Support with understanding ADHD, building routines, navigating school demands, and feeling more confident day-to-day.

Frequently asked questions
about ADHD coaching

How much does an ADHD coaching session cost?

Fees vary depending on your coach and the type of support you’re looking for. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the process, fees and any coverage options so you know exactly what to expect before getting started.

Does ADHD coaching actually work?

Yes. Coaching can help you build routines that feel realistic, follow through on tasks, understand emotional patterns and navigate daily responsibilities with more ease. Many clients share that they feel less overwhelmed — and more confident — as they put these strategies into practice.

What is the best therapy or coaching approach for ADHD?

There isn’t one “best” approach for everyone. Many people benefit from a mix of practical coaching (for routines and executive functioning) and therapy (for emotional wellbeing, stress and deeper patterns). We’ll help you explore what feels like the right fit for your needs.

Is ADHD coaching different from ADHD therapy?

Yes. Coaching focuses on daily life skills — planning, organization, routines and executive functioning. ADHD therapy focuses on emotional regulation, relationships, stress and psychological health. Both can complement each other beautifully depending on what you’re navigating.

Do you offer ADHD coaching for children, teens and adults?

Absolutely. We tailor coaching to each person’s developmental stage, needs and goals.

Can parents receive ADHD coaching?

Yes. Parent coaching can be incredibly helpful. It offers tools for supporting routines at home, understanding your child’s ADHD and navigating tough moments with more confidence and connection.

Is ADHD coaching helpful without a diagnosis?

Yes. A diagnosis isn’t required. Coaching can support focus, organization, emotional regulation and daily functioning whether or not you have formal documentation.

How long do people usually work with an ADHD coach?

It varies. Some people find that a few months of support is enough for what they’re navigating. Others continue longer because the structure helps them stay grounded, maintain momentum or move through life transitions. We check in regularly to make sure the timeline still feels right for you.

Do you offer ADHD assessments?

Yes. If you’re unsure whether coaching or an assessment is the best starting point, we can help you explore both options. We offer ADHD assessments for children, teens and adults.

Do you offer ADHD coaching in Scarborough and online?

Yes. We provide in-person coaching at our Scarborough clinic and online coaching across Ontario and Nova Scotia, so you can access support in a way that feels comfortable and flexible for you.
