The relationship between coach and client can be incredibly nuanced, and clients need to trust that their coach is both competent and ethical. The lack of regulation: ➡️Impacts those who have conditions (ADHD or otherwise) who may not be working with ethical or expert ADHD coaches who are unequipped to provide the best service.. ➡️Impacts the visibility of dedicated coaches who have invested significant effort into their training, striving to practice ethically and effectively to provide the best possible service to their clients. 🎯Our goal at The ADHD Directory is to address these issues head-on. We hope that we’ve created a trusted resource where individuals seeking ADHD coaching can find qualified, ethical, and effective professionals. 👇🏻👇🏻 VISIT The ADHD Directory (UK) today to connect with UK-based ADHD coaches you can trust https://lnkd.in/gTUGzr6t

⚠️New Blog Alert!⚠️ How might ADHD Coaching differ from traditional forms of Coaching? Here at The ADHD Directory (UK), we strongly believe that these differences do not mean deficits: people with ADHD are not ‘worse’ or ‘lesser’ than their peers - instead, they bring strengths of their own which may not yet have been tapped into. An ADHD coach who has been trained both as a coach and to understand ADHD, often bringing their own lived experience too, is uniquely place in helping others understand and manage their ADHD. 👇👇Article in full can be found in the comments below! 👇👇
