We Don’t Try to “Fix” ADHD — We Build on Your Strengths
At Kemis Neurodiverse Kindm, we don’t view ADHD as a flaw, but as a different way of thinking. Through our ADHD Coaching Process, we help you build habits, systems, and mindsets that work with your brain—not against it. Grounded in evidence and guided by empathy, this process is designed to create lasting, real-world results.
What Makes Our Method Different
ADHD-Affirming. Human-Centred Practical.
Our coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s built around how you think, feel, and function—drawing on neuroscience, practical strategies, and lived experience to create systems that truly last.
- Strengths-based and non-judgemental
- Focused on small, sustainable change
- Rooted in neuroscience and emotional wellbeing
The Science Behind Our Work
Backed by Research, Tailored to Real Life
Our sessions draw on cognitive behavioural strategies, executive function science, and emotional regulation tools—each carefully adapted to how different minds work. Since progress isn’t always linear, our methods are flexible, encouraging, and designed to handle setbacks, motivation dips, and the everyday ups and downs of life. This gives you practical strategies that grow with you, helping you stay resilient and keep moving forward with confidence.
- ADHD coaching principles (as defined by ICF/ADDCA)
- Executive function scaffolding
- Time-blindness & emotional regulation strategies
- Nervous system & sensory-aware techniques
- Mindfulness and somatic awareness (where helpful)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ADHD coaching actually worth the money or am I just wasting cash again?
That’s the right question. Here’s the honest answer. If you’re currently employed (including part time, contract, or self employed), Access to Work government funding covers up to £66,000 annually for ADHD coaching. Self employed or companies under 50 employees get 100% funding. Larger companies get 80% funding. Could literally be £0 out of pocket for you. Application takes 2 to 4 weeks. Charlotte helps you navigate it. Beyond funding, think about ADHD’s monthly costs. Late payment fees. Overdraft charges. Impulse purchases you regret. Lost items you replace. Missed work opportunities. Job instability. Parking tickets. Spoiled groceries because you forgot them. Coaching systematically prevents these recurring drains. Research shows 70% of coaching clients experience reduced symptoms and improved executive function within 3 to 6 months. Charlotte’s worked with 30 plus women who’ve seen real changes. Not everyone succeeds. Coaching requires showing up and trying stuff. But if you’re employed, government might fund 100%. Free 30 minute call discusses your specific situation honestly. No pressure, just transparency. Book now.
I've tried everything and nothing works for me. Will coaching be different or just another disappointment?
You’ve tried meds that help focus but don’t teach systems. Therapy that processes emotions but doesn’t build routines. Planners that make you feel worse when you don’t use them. Apps sending reminders you ignore. Books full of advice you can’t implement. That’s not failure. That’s trying neurotypical solutions for a neurodivergent brain. ADHD coaching is different. It’s not about willpower or trying harder. It’s building external systems that replace missing executive function. Breaking tasks into tiny steps your brain can actually start. Creating accountability that works for ADHD, not against it. Charlotte’s ICF/CCE certified, specializes in women’s ADHD, worked with 30 plus Birmingham women. Plus she does gut brain health integration most coaches ignore. 70% of your serotonin (controlling focus and mood) gets produced in your gut, not your brain. If you’ve got brain fog, mood swings, digestive issues alongside ADHD, gut health might be sabotaging everything else. Charlotte combines both approaches. Sessions are online via Zoom, UK wide. If employed, Access to Work might cover 100%. Free 30 minute call to see if this approach is genuinely different. Book now.
Do I need an official ADHD diagnosis to start coaching or can I begin now?
Start now. Seriously. You’ve already waited long enough. UK NHS ADHD waiting times average 2 to 5 years for adults. That’s years of preventable daily struggle. Charlotte works with undiagnosed people, self identified folks, those on NHS waiting lists. No diagnosis required. If you relate to ADHD struggles (can’t focus, forget constantly, overwhelm, procrastination, time blindness, emotional dysregulation), start building systems today. Many clients coach during their NHS wait, continue after diagnosis. Medication treats symptoms but doesn’t teach planning, organization, or follow through. Coaching and meds work together. Everything’s online via Zoom. Here’s the funding piece. If you’re employed, Access to Work may fund coaching even without formal diagnosis. When your employer confirms executive function challenges affect your work performance, you’re eligible. Self employed or companies under 50 employees get 100% funding. Larger companies get 80%. Free 30 minute call discusses your specific situation. Why struggle for years waiting for NHS when practical help is available now? Book today.
What's the difference between ADHD coaching and therapy? Which one do I actually need?
Therapy processes trauma, explores emotions, addresses mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. ADHD coaching builds practical systems for executive function challenges. Both are valuable. Often work together. If you’re experiencing trauma, unprocessed grief, severe depression, active suicidal thoughts, or complex mental health struggles, therapy first. If you’re struggling with getting stuff done, remembering things, starting tasks, managing time, following through, organizing your life, that’s coaching territory. Lots of people do both simultaneously. Therapy helps you understand why you feel certain ways. Coaching helps you function better day to day. Charlotte’s ICF and CCE certified, trauma informed, works alongside clients’ existing therapy. She maintains therapist relationships for referrals. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes on Zoom focused on practical tools, system building, and implementation rather than emotional processing. If employed, Access to Work may cover both therapy and coaching simultaneously. Free clarity call allows Charlotte to honestly assess whether coaching fits your needs better than therapy, or whether you’d benefit from both. Book your call for professional assessment.
How much does ADHD coaching actually cost and what payment options exist?
UK ADHD coaching typically ranges £75 to £250 per session depending on credentials, experience, location, and session length. Most established coaches charge £100 to £175 per 45 to 60 minute session. Charlotte’s pricing is bespoke based on your situation, frequency, and needs. Here’s game changing information most don’t know. If you’re employed in the UK (including part time or self employment), Access to Work government funding covers up to £66,000 annually for workplace support including ADHD coaching. Potentially £0 out of pocket to you. Funding breakdown. Self employed or companies under 50 employees receive 100% funding. Larger organizations receive 80% funding. Only approximately 1% of eligible UK employees actually use Access to Work despite widespread eligibility. Charlotte (ICF/CCE certified, Birmingham based, UK wide online) helps navigate the application process, which takes 2 to 4 weeks. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes via Zoom with flexible weekly or fortnightly frequency. Free clarity call allows pricing and funding discussion before commitment. Even without Access to Work, consider this. ADHD creates monthly costs through late fees, overdraft charges, impulse purchases, lost items, missed opportunities, parking tickets, spoiled groceries, job instability. Effective coaching prevents these recurring ADHD related drains. Book your free call to explore government funding, payment plans, or sliding scale options.
I'm a complete mess and can barely function. Am I too broken for coaching to help?
You’re not too much. That belief itself is a common ADHD symptom rather than accurate assessment of your coachability. Charlotte works regularly with clients experiencing severe struggles. People who’ve lost multiple jobs due to ADHD. Damaged relationships. Can’t get out of bed consistently. Forget to eat. Live in overwhelming chaos. These aren’t “too broken for coaching.” They’re precisely who ADHD coaching supports. Sessions never involve judgment about your current mess. Focus remains on building one tiny sustainable system at a time at whatever pace works. In early weeks, progress might look like “showered three times” rather than “implemented complex system.” That’s genuine celebrated progress. ADHD coaching assumes you’re struggling with executive function, not laziness or moral failure. Charlotte’s ICF/CCE certified, trauma informed, worked with 30 plus women experiencing significant challenges. Sessions are online via Zoom, no performance pressure. You don’t need to have everything together to start coaching. You start coaching precisely because things aren’t together. If employed, Access to Work covers up to £66,000 annually, potentially 100% funded. Free 30 minute call offers judgment free space. Come exactly as you are. Book now.
How long does ADHD coaching take before I see actual results?
Honest answer. Small improvements within 2 to 4 sessions for most clients. Things like better morning routines, less decision fatigue, actually remembering appointments. Bigger transformations (consistent work habits, reduced burnout, improved relationships) typically emerge over 3 to 6 months as new systems become habits. ADHD brains need repetition and patience, not quick fixes. Timeline depends on your goals, life circumstances, and session frequency. Some clients work with Charlotte for 3 months, others 12 plus months. You control the pace. Research indicates 70% of coaching clients experience measurably reduced ADHD symptoms and improved executive function within 6 months. That’s not magic. That’s consistent weekly or fortnightly sessions building systems that actually fit your brain. Charlotte’s ICF/CCE certified, worked with 30 plus women, understands realistic timelines. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes online via Zoom. If employed, Access to Work funding (up to £66,000 annually) makes longer term coaching financially accessible. Free 30 minute clarity call discusses realistic expectations for your specific situation. No overpromising, just honest assessment. Book now.
What actually happens during ADHD coaching sessions? Is it just talking or do we do stuff?
Each session starts checking in on how you’re doing and what’s been challenging since last time. We explore one or two specific goals like building a morning routine or managing work overwhelm and create practical strategies that fit your brain. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes on Zoom, relaxed and judgment free. You’re not graded or tested. We focus on what works for you, not generic advice. Between sessions, you try out the strategies we discussed. Next session, we adjust based on what’s realistic. It’s active, not passive. You’re building systems, troubleshooting barriers, celebrating wins (even tiny ones). Charlotte (ICF/CCE certified, Birmingham based, UK wide online) might suggest tools, accountability structures, ways to break down overwhelming tasks, strategies for emotional regulation. Plus she offers gut brain health integration if you’ve got brain fog, mood swings, or digestive issues alongside ADHD. If employed, Access to Work may cover 100% of costs. Free 30 minute clarity call lets you experience the approach firsthand. No commitment required. Book now.
Can I do ADHD coaching alongside medication or do I need to choose one?
Do both. They work together, not against each other. Medication (when it works) helps with focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity. It treats neurological symptoms. But medication doesn’t teach you how to plan, organize, follow through, manage time, or build sustainable routines. That’s where coaching comes in. Medication creates the neurological foundation. Coaching builds the practical skills. Lots of Charlotte’s clients take medication and do coaching simultaneously. Some aren’t medicated at all. Some tried meds and stopped. All approaches work with coaching. You don’t need to choose. Charlotte’s ICF/CCE certified, understands how medication and coaching complement each other. She won’t tell you to stop meds or push you to start them. That’s between you and your prescriber. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes on Zoom focused on building systems that work for your brain, medicated or not. If employed, Access to Work covers up to £66,000 annually for coaching regardless of medication status. Free 30 minute call discusses your specific situation. Book now.
How do I know if coaching is right for me or if I should try something else first?
The free 30 minute clarity call answers this exactly. That’s what it’s for. Not a sales pitch. An honest conversation about whether coaching fits your needs right now. During the call, you’ll discuss your specific challenges, what you’ve already tried, what’s not working, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Charlotte (ICF/CCE certified, 30 plus clients, trauma informed) will tell you honestly if coaching makes sense or if something else (therapy, medication assessment, different support) would serve you better first. She maintains relationships with therapists, psychiatrists, and other professionals for referrals when needed. Coaching works best when you’re ready to try new strategies, show up consistently, and implement small changes. It doesn’t work if you’re in active crisis, experiencing severe untreated mental health conditions, or not in a position to engage with the process. The clarity call explores all this openly. Sessions are online via Zoom, UK wide. If employed, Access to Work may cover 100%. The call is genuinely free with zero obligation. Worst case, you spend 30 minutes talking and decide coaching isn’t right. Best case, you find the support you’ve been searching for. Book now.
