Coaching for Schools and Colleges

Specialist ADHD coaching for schools, colleges and alternative provision, supporting young people to build confidence and executive functioning skills within inclusive educational environments.

Supporting students with ADHD to feel confident, capable and engaged in education.

Research consistently highlights that students with ADHD are at increased risk of academic underachievement, school exclusion, low self-esteem and emotional distress when appropriate support systems are not in place. Providing structured, specialist ADHD coaching within education settings can significantly improve engagement, confidence and long-term outcomes.

Supported by a MA-level education, ICF accreditation and lived experience of neurodiversity, Adhdful coaching sessions combine evidence-based psychological frameworks with practical tools tailored to the needs of each young person.

Coaching offers a structured space where students learn to understand how their brain works, develop executive functioning strategies, and build a positive neurodivergent identity.

ADHD coaching sessions can complement existing additional SEND provision, as well as pastoral care and other therapeutic services.

Block Booking Discount
(2 Terms +)

For schools and colleges committing to 2 terms or more, block booking discounts are available to reflect the value of sustained partnership and continuity of support.

Longer-term ADHD coaching within education settings can allow for deeper skill development, increased self awareness and understanding, greater academic consistency and increased measurable progress over time.

Commitments to coaching covering an academic year can be particularly beneficial for students preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels or transition points between key stages where the consistency of coaching sessions can facilitate change in other areas of life and education. 

Time commitment and scheduling are agreed collaboratively to minimise disruption to learning.

Bespoke ADHD Coaching Packages for Education Settings

All ADHD coaching packages for education are bespoke, reflecting the structure, size and specific needs of each setting. Support may include:

  • 1:1 ADHD coaching for identified students
  • Coaching for students with more than one neurodivergent diagnosis (including ADHD) or mental health need
  • Consultation around reasonable adjustments within education settings
  • Collaboration with SENDCOs, pastoral teams and safeguarding leads where required for safeguarding

Clear accountability structures are also built into each package, including defined goals, provision of weekly round up summaries and communication pathways with designated school staff.

 Some questions you may have

  • A formal diagnosis is not required. Coaching can support students who identify with ADHD traits or executive functioning challenges or are awaiting assessment.

  • Therapy often focuses on emotional processing and mental health treatment. ADHD coaching in education is future-focused and practical, helping students build strategies to manage workload, organisation and academic demands.

  • ADHD coaching can complement EHCP targets, SEND support plans and reasonable adjustments within education settings.

  • Proactive neurodiversity support has been shown to reduce behavioural incidents and improve engagement. Coaching provides students with a safe space to explore any barriers to their learning and helps them to develop practical tools to suit them as individuals.
