What to expect in a Coaching Session
What to Expect in a Coaching Session
Deciding to start ADHD coaching can feel a little daunting, especially if you’ve never experienced coaching before. You might wonder what it’s going to be like. Will you have to bare your soul straight away? Will it be uncomfortable or intense? Perhaps you're nervous about not knowing what to say or saying too much.
These thoughts can make the whole idea feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already juggling the very things that brought you to coaching in the first place. But your curiosity has bought you here and hopefully this will outweigh the hesitation.
An ADHD coaching session offers a supportive space to think, that embraces your unique way your brain works. Helping you gain clarity, explore possibilities, and move forward in a way that feels right for you. If you’re unsure what to expect, it can feel a little overwhelming, but each session is structured to guide you through the process. Here's how the sessions typically unfold.
Focus - Defining the Focus of the Session
We begin by identifying the main area you want to explore during the session. This could be anything from managing feelings of overwhelm, creating more structure in your life, or tackling a specific challenge you’re facing. Together, we’ll pinpoint why this particular issue matters and what makes it feel important to you. This step helps create a clear and meaningful direction for the session, giving us a strong starting point to work from.
Untangle - Gaining Deeper Insight
Once we’ve established the focus, we’ll dig a little deeper to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. This is where we untangle your thoughts and feelings, bringing clarity to the confusion. We’ll explore how your ADHD might be influencing your experience, helping you develop new awareness about how to work with your brain rather than against it. By the end of this stage, you’ll have a clearer picture of your situation, along with some practical strategies to move forward.
Anchor - Creating a Path Forward
The final part of the session is all about anchoring these new insights and exploring actionable steps, whilst also considering any potential obstacles. Our focus here is to find strategies that work with your ADHD, ensuring that they feel achievable, motivating, and sustainable.
