ADHD Coaching is a client-centered approach that offers a collaborative partnership for action-oriented, forward-focused growth.

ADHD coaching helps adults with ADHD better understand their unique brain wiring, including the impacts on executive function such as planning, prioritizing, organization, focus and time management as well as emotional regulation. ADHD Coaching helps them to learn practical strategies, structures and habits to manage work and everyday responsibilities with greater confidence.

In Canada, ADHD Coaching is generally NOT covered by insurance benefits. Most extended health benefits cover Psychotherapists or Social Worker and I am neither.

My credentials are PCC or PCAC Coach certifications.

However, this is starting to shift and some insurance providers are now offering ‘Wellness or Flex’ Benefits that can be applied to ADHD Coaching.

You must verify this with your provider.

The cost of ADHD Coaching may qualify as:

A Medical Expense for Income Tax purposes in Canada. (verify with an Accountant if you qualify)

Professional Development if your employer supports coaching.

As a Business Expense if you are a business owner.

No, there is no added HST.

ADHD Coaching services at Thrive Coaching have been deemed HST exempt through an approval process with the CRA.

This means, the fee charged is as posted.

ADHD coaching focuses on a collaborative partnership, helping clients take strengths-based, empowered actions towards their goals. Coaching emphasizes practical steps and future-focused strategies.

Therapy, on the other hand, uses various approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, etc.) to explore past experiences and facilitate healing, offering tools for emotional stability and coping.

Both approaches have strong evidence that they can help adults with ADHD to manage life more effectively.

No, I do not offer coaching that solely focuses on academic strategies and skills.

My focus is on more wholistic ADHD coaching and executive function challenges which may include topics around school performance but less about study techniques and project planning, etc.

No, I do not work with children or teens; my focus for ADHD coaching is with Professional Adults and Students in Post-secondary school.

There are a number of Academic Strategists and ADHD Coaches who specialize in supporting children, teens and young adults more specifically with Academic Learning Strategies.
