Let's begin by clarifying that the services I provide are not therapy or counselling, but rather ADHD coaching for adults (18-65). I am NOT a Registered Psychologist or therapist and do NOT provide psychological counselling or assessment services. I am not a mental health professional.
I AM a trained ADHD Coach. I will soon complete the required hours for certification. My services are not currently covered by provincial or private health care plans but ADHD Coaching is evidence-based and gaining interest with health care organizations and insurance providers.
ADHD coaching can be extremely effective in supporting clients with ADHD and related symptoms as part of a multi-modal treatment plan (Kooij et al, 2019). Unfortunately, ADHD coaching is not currently a provincially regulated profession in Canada, which means that coach training is not legally required to advertise and provide coaching services. This is where my background becomes important.
