ADHD Coaching with Alison
Alison provides specialist neurodiversity-informed coaching, supporting individuals with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, tic disorders, and sensory processing differences. Her approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs — focusing on building confidence, independence, and self-understanding.
ADHD Support & Executive Function Coaching
ADHD can impact how we organise, plan, begin, and maintain everyday tasks. Coaching sessions focus on understanding your unique executive function profile and building realistic tools and strategies to support daily living.
Areas of Support Include:
Motivation & Task Initiation
Learn approaches to “getting started” when tasks feel overwhelming.
Procrastination & Overwhelm
Break tasks into manageable steps and develop practical action routines.
Time Management Strategies
Explore visual planning systems, structured daily routines, and personalised scheduling methods that actually work for the ADHD brain.
Visual & Auditory Support Systems
Use timers, alarms, trackers, and visual prompts to support independence and consistency.
Outcomes:
Increased organisation, reduced stress, greater follow-through, and more confidence in everyday life.
Emotional Regulation & Sensory Support
Many individuals experience heightened emotional responses, internal restlessness, or sensory overload. Coaching supports you to understand and manage these experiences with compassion and practical tools.
Areas of Support Include:
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)
Learn regulation tools and reframing strategies to reduce emotional intensity and self-doubt.
Self-Esteem & Personal Identity
Build a stronger, kinder internal narrative and confidence in your neurodivergent strengths.
Sensory Regulation & Hyperactivity Support
Explore strategies for both external and internal sensory overload, including movement-based regulation, grounding, and sensory-friendly environments.
Outcomes:
Improved emotional stability, increased self-understanding, and better coping during everyday challenges.
Autism Communication & Social Support
Communication differences and social overwhelm can affect relationships, daily interactions, and self-confidence. Alison uses a personalised and respectful neurodiversity-affirming approach to support communication in ways that feel natural and authentic to you.
Support Includes:
Individualised communication strategies (verbal and non-verbal)
Tools to increase clarity, expression, and personal boundaries
Sensory and visual supports to enhance understanding and reduce overwhelm
Strategies for navigating unpredictability, social anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty
Outcomes:
More confident communication, reduced stress in social situations, and improved self-advocacy.
Impact on Tic Regulation & Anxiety
Coaching also considers how anxiety, communication stress, and sensory overload impact tic frequency. Sessions explore:
Understanding personal triggers
Building predictability and emotional pacing
Developing practical coping tools to reduce escalation and internal stress
The goal is to reduce the overall pressure system, leading to a calmer body and mind.
