Question 3

What is the difference between coaching and talk therapy or psychotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Coaching helps people achieve their goals, change behaviour, build skills, and modify their environment to better meet their needs. Coaches help people set priorities, discover their strengths, and master healthy habits. Coaching exists in the here and now. It is strengths-based, collaborative, and ‘action-focused’.

Therapy, on the other hand, is often a process of helping clients process thoughts and feelings in a more adaptive way. Therapy often focuses on the past and has emotion-oriented goals.

Both coaching and therapy are focused on helping people improve their lives by working through issues that may be hindering them. Coaching focuses on thriving while therapy focuses on coping. Coaching provides the structural support clients need to maximize their personal and professional potential through positive, long-term change.

They combine research-backed tools with real-world experience to help you thrive. ADHD treatment is a team effort—our providers provide guidance, support, and accountability, while you bring your openness and motivation.

Who is a good fit for ADHD coaching?

You are a good candidate for ADHD coaching if:

You have ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms and have struggled with school/work/relationships/home life and have been left feeling frustrated, exhausted, or hopeless.
You have tried to manage your ADHD symptoms with medication alone but find something is missing. 
You have struggled to get organized, stay on task and meet deadlines.
You have experienced difficulty managing your emotions, especially while under stress.
You are wanting change and to focus on the things that matter most to you.

Question 7

Can I claim your services through my insurance?

Accepted Answer

For OT
Some insurance companies do cover Occupational Therapy. Our OT services are currently offered to folks residing in Ontario, BC, and UK. If you live in these areas and are looking for insurance coverage, we recommend checking directly with your insurance company to confirm your coverage details.

For ADHD Coaching
Insurance and Workplace Coverage:
Coaching is generally not covered by many insurance companies, but some providers and workplaces offer coverage. We recommend checking directly with your insurance company to see if they cover "ADHD Coaches."

Workplace Options: 
Some employers and insurers may cover ADHD coaching through health spending accounts, wellness plans, professional development funds, or HR funding. If your ADHD impacts your work, you can request a quote from us for "ADHD Coaching for the Workplace" to submit to your employer for potential coverage. Contact your employer or insurance provider to explore available options.

Student Coverage: 
If you are a student, some universities and colleges offer grants and bursaries that may cover ADHD coaching. Check with your school’s financial aid office or student support/accessibility services to see if you qualify for funding or support for ADHD coaching.

Question 8

What happens after we're done?

Accepted Answer

After completing your sessions, you’ll continue to have full access to all the ADHD program materials in your ADHD workbook, allowing you to revisit strategies and tools anytime you need.

For clients who would like ongoing support and accountability, many clients opt to do maintenance sessions as needed to keep their progress on track. That could be in 3 months from now or a year from now--it's entirely up to you. Your continued success, health, and wellness remain our top priority, and we’re here to support you whenever you need it.
