Specialist Parent/Carer Coaching
How our coaching supports parents and carers
Our coaching support aims to move your family from where you are now to where you want to be.
Our coaches provide support for parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people (up to age 25). Our approach is warm, practical, and completely non-judgmental; provided by our team who combine relevant qualifications with first-hand, lived experience of ADHD, Autism, and related conditions.
Please note: Our coaches work directly with you as parents and carers to improve family life. We do not work directly with your children but will point you to additional support where needed.
How can ADD-vance coaching support your family?
Our specialist coaches work alongside you to develop practical, real-world strategies tailored to your everyday family life. Here are the main areas we focus on together:
Core traits & daily behaviours: Understanding and managing attention levels, impulsivity, and hyperactivity so your household feels calmer and more structured.
Executive function skills: Guiding your child with practical tools to improve planning, organisation, time management, and working memory.
Emotional regulation: Helping your family manage big feelings by introducing proven techniques to reduce anxiety, anger, and everyday stress.
Daily life & independence: Supporting your child’s unique sensory needs, boosting their self-esteem, encouraging self-care habits, and building the independence they need to reach their full potential.
Our coach was amazing, she listened to our concerns and allowed us to guide sessions. She was helpful in highlighting our need for self care and strategies to help improve things at home. It was great to have this personalised service tailored to our needs.
What to expect
We know that seeking support can feel daunting, so we keep our coaching process clear, flexible, and completely tailored to your family’s pace. Here is how it works:
- Tailored Sessions: We begin with a 1-hour initial assessment to get to know your family’s unique situation. Following this, you will have 1-hour weekly sessions, customised to your needs, typically running for 6 to 8 weeks.
- Practical Strategies: You will leave each session with a clear, realistic plan to try at home during the week, giving you practical tools you can put into practice right away.
- School Collaboration: If you would like us to align our support with your child’s education, we can collaborate directly with their school or teachers (with your written permission).
- Flexible Delivery: Sessions can be held via Zoom, phone, or through limited face-to-face appointments.
- No Diagnosis Needed: You do not need a GP referral or official diagnosis to access our support.
