Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADHD mentoring?
ADHD mentoring is non-clinical, practical support that helps you develop strategies for executive function challenges like organisation, planning, and time management. A mentor works alongside you to build real-world skills tailored to your ADHD brain.
How is ADHD mentoring different from ADHD coaching?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both focus on practical strategies rather than clinical treatment. Some mentors draw on lived experience or professional backgrounds like social work, while coaches may follow specific coaching frameworks.
Do I need a diagnosis to access ADHD mentoring?
No. ADHD mentoring is open to anyone experiencing executive function challenges, whether you have a formal diagnosis, are awaiting assessment, or simply recognise ADHD traits in yourself.
