Leanne Maskell

ADHD Coach, Educator, and 3x Best-Selling Author of 'ADHD: an A to Z'

Leanne Maskell is an ADHD Coach, Author, and Activist, having presented to the World Health Organization on improving global access to support for ADHD. Previously working in mental health and disability law, Leanne set up ADHD Works to empower as many people to work with their ADHD brain - rather than against it. After being diagnosed with ADHD aged 25, Leanne published 3 books, including ‘ADHD: an A to Z’ (as featured on Sky News!). She's now a Certified ADHD Coach by the ADD Coaching Academy.

What People Say

“I found a community of like minded individuals who made me feel the safest I've ever felt in a group environment. Leanne's ability to facilitate and guide a group of ADHD minds in one common direction is a skill to be admired. Her oneness with us takes all the fear out of the equation.”

Julie

“ A group of like minded non-judgmental people offering stories and peer support all struggling with the same issues from different walks of life. Leanne leads the sessions very fluidly allowing everyone to have their time and begins and ends each session with a reset and relaxation. Her approach is warming and genuine, really puts people at ease, and she offers lived experience. The structure of the daily resources being able to either do a little everyday or a good hour with yourself once a week is great for flexibility. I came in quiet, unsure, with an imposter telling me I needed to be better, and have left knowing my strengths, my confidence has grown, I left the final session feeling valued and reject that imposter voice. I feel I am in a position to began a really exciting new chapter in my life. ”

Emma

“I absolutely loved this course. The videos were just the right length and there was such great support throughout the course. I also learnt a ton and most importantly, have gained a lot more self-acceptance as a result.”

J.

“This course was so brilliant! For someone who finds online learning quite difficult, this was perfect. It was super varied, which I found was great for holding attention over the 30 days and to learn in different ways. The 'lessons' were really engaging and then doing the activities alongside was a useful way to digest the information and applying it to how it works for you. Leanne's passion and knowledge hugely shines through, and topped of with the fun energy that comes across in this course! I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about ADHD and how to make it work for them.”

Sarah

“The course was amazing! I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at 27 and it was so helpful to start my “journey” with this new diagnosis with this program. It helped me approach my ADHD with empowerment and curiosity vs judgement and blame.”

C. Rogers

“The course offered me bite size encouraging and thought-provoking videos and prompts for journaling and exploring what ADHD looked like for me. I went from confused about whether a diagnosis makes any difference, to confident that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I realised through the course that without understanding both the challenges and strengths I'd continue tripping myself up, living a rollercoaster life that was wearing me out. Whilst the course itself would have been enough - rich in facts, anecdotes and practical exercises, it was the weekly live coaching sessions that transformed my personal experience of discovering what ADHD meant for me. Listening to other experiences of living with ADHD, chatting about it with others and knowing that for an hour or so there'd be a judgement-free zone where you'd be with people who weren't looking at you sideways or glazing over as you tried to explain how weird you were feeling or crap your day had been because of yoru ADHD! It was like a tonic for my soul and Leanne goes out of her way to welcome us all, at whatever level we can participate that day. Lots of laughter, lots of healing around self-acceptance and tonnes of strategies for working with our brains and bodies, not against them. I know I am more resilient, better informed and equipped for doing this course and would recommend it to anyone who identifies with ADHD traits or who is curious to know more. ”

Got questions?

We've got answers!

  • Who is this course for?

    Anybody who wants to support people with ADHD - whether it's a full time career, additional to your existing expertise such as a coach, therapist, teacher or medical professional, or to help someone you care about, such as your children.

  • What funding options are available?

    If you'd like your employer to help fund this, feel free to use our free template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dzu1H-mFYJPc7Zr_omIKRgKdk0ALafv3buGSjGCKXY8/edit?usp=sharing A monthly payment plan option is available - payment needs to be finalised in advance of the course starting.

  • What will I get from this course?

    A complete library of lessons, worksheets and session outlines empowering you to confidently coach people with ADHD, 6 group ADHD coaching sessions, lifelong membership to a community of fellow ADHD coaches, a feature on the ADHD Works website, a licence to use the ADHD Works logo for your own marketing, and a Level 1 ADHD Works Coaching certificate.

  • Who recognises this qualification?

    This course is CPD accredited, meaning it's recognised by any organisation that uses CPD. This course was created to bring integrity and standards to an unregulated industry, ensuring the people we coach receive the best possible support. You'll be featured on our online coaching directory after certification (renewable after 1 year), which is helpful as we work with a huge number of people and organisations like Access to Work and Disney. You'll be able to coach people through Access to Work (the UK's Government scheme offering funding for ADHD coaching), which we'll also teach you about on this course.

  • Can I work with ADHD Works' clients as a Coach afterwards?

    Our Level 1 coaches are primarily trained to coach however they'd like to in their own personal capacities e.g running your own business or as part of your job already. We may take on a limited number of coaches at the end of the training who can work through us (as we have a huge amount of demand!), but you can still work with clients in your own capacity.

  • How long will this course take me to complete?

    This course is designed to run over 6 weeks, with weekly group coaching sessions. These are held at a certain time on Wednesdays (9am, 12pm, or 6pm) and will be recorded incase you can't make any. This means that you can complete the lessons in the timeframe that works for you, with lifetime access to our lessons!

  • How do I qualify?

    At the end of the course, you will complete an assessment on your skills to receive feedback and ensure you are fully ready to become a certified Level 1 ADHD Works coach. Afterwards, you'll receive your certificate and be featured on the ADHD Works website as a certified coach.

  • What does Level 1 Certification include?

    Qualifying as a Level 1 Certified ADHD Works coach means you are trained in the foundations of ADHD coaching. You can use the ADHD Works logo demonstrating your certification, be featured on the ADHD Works website, and have lifetime access to the ADHD Works coaching community and course. There will be opportunities to develop your skills further announced at a later date, including the possibility of working with ADHD Works as a coach. This will always require Level 1 Certification.

  • What background do you have?

    This course was created by Author of 'ADHD: an A to Z' and ADDCA certified coach Leanne Maskell. Leanne previously worked in mental health and disability law at the Law Society, and has trained organisations such as Microsoft and Yahoo on ADHD. She has also presented to organisations such as the World Health Organisation on ADHD, alongside coaching hundreds of people and running a series of highly successful ADHD courses.
