ADHD Coaching FAQs
What does an ADHD coach for women actually do, and how is it different from therapy?
An ADHD coach helps you build practical, personalised strategies to manage everyday life with an ADHD brain — things like time blindness, emotional dysregulation, overwhelm, and burnout. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on processing the past including trauma, ADHD coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. Caroline is a certified Advanced ADHD Coach (accredited by the Association of Coaching) with lived experience of ADHD and ASD herself, so sessions combine science-backed techniques with real-world tools you can use straight away. If you’re a woman struggling with overwhelm, emotional dysregulation or poor focus, a complimentary 30-minute coaching call is the best first step.
I've only just been diagnosed with ADHD in my 40: where do I even begin?
A late ADHD diagnosis in midlife is more common than you might think, especially for women who’ve spent years masking. The most important first step is to start learning how your specific brain actually works and gradually make small, sustainable changes. Practically, that means identifying your peak focus windows, building systems that reduce reliance on willpower (dopamine), and understanding how hormonal changes during perimenopause interact with ADHD symptoms. Caroline specialises in working with midlife women navigating exactly this combination and offers online coaching sessions so you can get started from anywhere in the UK or Europe.
How does perimenopause make ADHD worse, and what can I do about it?
Falling oestrogen levels during perimenopause directly affect dopamine and serotonin production — the very neurotransmitters that ADHD already impacts. This is why many women find their ADHD symptoms intensify dramatically in their 40s, even if they’ve coped reasonably well before. The good news is that targeted lifestyle strategies around sleep, nutrition, movement as well as nervous system regulation can make a significant difference. Caroline’s coaching programme addresses all pillars together, helping you create a sustainable daily routine that supports both your hormones and your ADHD brain rather than working against them.
Can ADHD coaching help with emotional overwhelm and rejection sensitivity (RSD)?
Absolutely — in fact, emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) are among the most debilitating but least talked-about aspects of ADHD in women. Through coaching, you’ll learn to recognise your personal overwhelm triggers before they escalate, build practical regulation tools like nervous system reset techniques, and reframe the internal narrative that tells you you’re “too much.” Many of Caroline’s clients describe the shift from constant emotional firefighting to genuinely feeling in control as the single biggest change they experience during their coaching journey. As well as drawing on ADHD and health coaching techniques, Caroline also incorporates mindset tools (NLP) to support her clients.
How many coaching sessions will I need, and how much does ADHD coaching cost?
Every client’s journey is different, but most women begin to notice meaningful shifts within four to six sessions. Rather than a one-size-fits-all programme, Caroline tailors the pace and focus of sessions to your goals — whether that’s managing burnout, improving relationships, building healthier habits, or navigating a career transition with ADHD. Sessions are available both in-person in west London and online across the UK and Europe. The best way to understand what’s right for you is to book a complimentary 30-minute call, where Caroline will ask you about your situation and explain exactly how she can help. Caroline is fluent in Spanish and Swedish and is able to coach you in either of those languages should you wish.
