ADHD Works

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. Many of our students are neurodivergent themselves, but you don’t have to be! What matters most is that you care, you're curious, and you're committed to learning in an affirming, ethical way.

Yes, our Advanced AuDHD Course teaches the AuDHD Paradox Coaching Framework, with a deeper focus on the theory and neuroscience behind ADHD and autism. It isn't running right now. Either way, we recommend starting here, so you feel fully confident in the fundamentals first.

Lifetime access to 19.5 hours of CPD-certified training, including 98 lessons, 6 × 2-hour live sessions (all recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one), and a complete coaching framework. You'll also get 3 months of CoachAccountable free, preloaded so you can apply our resources in practice straight away, your ADHD Coach Certification with a licence to use it in your marketing, and eligibility to join our ADHD Works coaching directory.

Yes - and many do. Training a member of your HR, wellbeing, or L&D team to deliver ADHD/AuDHD coaching internally is often a more sustainable investment than commissioning external coaches for every neurodivergent employee. It also builds permanent in-house capability for reasonable adjustments. Past organisational funders include the NHS, the Law Society of Scotland, and the DWP. We have free email templates to help with requesting this on www.adhdworks.info.

Yes - and many do! Like many respected professional programmes (including Harvard Medical School’s 6-week health coaching course), it’s not about how long you sit in a classroom, but how well the content is delivered - and how actively you apply it. We give you lifetime access to all lessons through our self-paced learning platform, so that you can revisit the content anytime and learn at a pace that works for your brain. We do education differently - ditching unnecessary tick-boxes without compromising on safety, all guided by our Ethical Compliance Framework tailored for neurodivergent people. We recommend blocking out about 3 hours a week.

Yes - we offer a variety of scholarships on every live training course that we do. You can apply on www.adhdworks.info. You can also spread the cost with a payment plan, as long as you set it up before the course starts.

ADHD Works is a training provider member of both the Association for Coaching and CPD. We also train coaches on our Ethical Compliance Framework for ADHD and AuDHD coaches - we take the responsibility of working with vulnerable people extremely seriously and expect our coaches to do the same. We've coached thousands of neurodivergent people, and have built our trainings carefully to incorporate the foundations of safety, especially when practicing in a neuroaffirmative way within neurotypical environments. Leanne's also personally trained over 1,000 coaches, alongside publishing best-selling books such as 'ADHD: an A to Z' and 'AuDHD: Blooming Differently'.

No - and that's a deliberate choice. ICF training centres on a 'pure coaching' model, whereas we train coaches to use frameworks as optional menus, with specific ADHD exercises and psychoeducation that they can use for sessions. We don't mandate SMART goals or being a blank canvas, and believe the best learning happens by doing. Our CPD certification gives us the freedom to teach in this way, whilst ensuring institutional recognition from organisations and independent quality oversight.

The course is built around practical application of strategies and skills - not just theory - so by the end you're ready to actually coach ADHD clients, not just talk about them. Throughout the course, you'll provide and receive ADHD coaching on the framework yourself. We have global communities of students who use this certification in different ways - from within their own coaching or therapy business, to supporting colleagues within their workplace, setting up lessons in schools, supporting their own children, or simply to help themselves. You'll also learn about potential funding routes such as Access to Work and reasonable adjustments, along with accessing ongoing support such as neuroaffirmative supervision, ensuring a sustainable career path on your terms.
