What makes Susan an ADHD Coach? How do you know if she is the right coach for you?
Susan's ADHD Coach training & education
I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology (BA Honours, 2022, University of Calgary) and have since been involved in researching behavioural treatments for ADHD in adults. Since 2023 I have completed over 100 hours of in-class instruction with ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), a global leader in ADHD coach training. I passed the practical coaching evaluation and had accumulated almost 100 hours of direct ADHD coaching experience. In June 2025, my AACC certification from ADDCA was made official! Certifications from the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) are underway and anticipated in the coming months.
Susan's life experience with ADHD
This training has been instrumental in developing an effective coaching style, but my clients also benefit from the life experiences I gathered personally and professionally before pursuing formal ADHD education. During the first 20 years of my professional career, I worked in accounting and finance as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA Alberta 2001) after earning a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Alberta (1998). My own ADHD diagnosis in 2000, followed by that of family and friends, provided valuable perspective for many of the challenges we have faced.
