The Coastal Coaching Group, ADHD Coaching
Our Story
At The Coastal Coaching Group, our passion for ADHD coaching was born from both personal experience and a deep belief that individuals with ADHD deserve to be seen, understood, and supported - not just managed.
As a parent of a child with ADHD and someone who lives with ADHD myself, I know the unique challenges it can bring - the overwhelm, the self -doubt, the constant feeling of trying to "keep up." I also know the creativity, resilience, and potential that often go unnoticed.
As the Founder, I started The Coastal Coaching Group to be the kind of support I once needed - a place where families and individuals feel empowered, not judged. Where ADHD is not treated as a limitation, but as a different way of thinking that, with the right tools and encouragement, can lead to success.
Our Approach
We believe that ADHD is not a deficit - it's a different way of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world. Our mission is to help individuals and families recognize their strengths, build tools that work for them, and move forward with confidence.
We use a positive, strengths-based approach in all our coaching. Instead of focusing on what's "not working," we help our clients discover what does. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, we empower individuals with ADHD to navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and create meaningful change - one step at a time.
