What an ADHD Business Coach Actually Does (And Why It’s Different)

Running a business when you have ADHD can feel like trying to juggle flaming swords while blindfolded. Some days you're flying. Other days, replying to one email feels like climbing Everest. And in the background? Guilt. Pressure. Overwhelm. A thousand tabs open—mentally and literally.

If that’s you, you’ve probably already Googled ADHD Business Coach at least once, maybe late at night when everything felt like too much.

But what is an ADHD business coach?And how is it different from regular business coaching?

Let’s talk about it.

What an ADHD Business Coach Actually Does

An ADHD business coach supports you—the person behind the business—not just your branding, your strategy, or your spreadsheets.

Because your business challenges aren't just about marketing or planning.They're about executive functioning.

🧠 Time blindness

🧠 Motivation rollercoasters

🧠 Avoiding tasks that feel too big, too vague, or too boring

🧠 Looping thoughts, rejection sensitivity, decision paralysis

🧠 Starting five projects and finishing none

This isn’t laziness or disorganisation. It’s a brain that’s wired differently.

And instead of trying to fix you, an ADHD business coach works with your brain to help you find what actually works.

ADHD COACHING

The Difference Between Regular Business Coaching and ADHD-Informed Coaching

Typical business coaching might assume:

• You can follow the plan if it’s clear enough

• You just need better goals, habits, or focus

• You’ll implement strategies on your own time

But if you have ADHD, that’s… not how it works.

Your brain might understand the strategy perfectly, but struggle to follow through.

You might want to do the work, but avoid it because it’s emotionally or cognitively heavy.

You might spend all your energy just getting started.

An ADHD informed business coach knows that. They don’t shame you for missing a deadline or forgetting to reply.

They help you break things down, regulate your emotions, and stay connected to what matters—without the overwhelm.

Coaching Isn’t Just About Getting Stuff Done

Here’s what ADHD business coaching can help you with:

• Clarifying priorities (and ditching the “everything’s urgent” spiral)

• Creating systems you’ll actually use

• Working around time blindness and inconsistency

• Building accountability that doesn’t feel punishing

• Managing energy, not just time

• Reducing guilt, imposter syndrome, and shame

And perhaps most importantly?It gives you a space to talk about the stuff you can’t say out loud to your clients, your team, or even your friends.

ABOUT ME

Yes! If you’re in the UK and self-employed, you may be eligible for Access to Work funding.

This government scheme can help cover the cost of ADHD coaching and support—whether or not you have a formal diagnosis.

You’ll need to explain how ADHD impacts your ability to do your job and how coaching would help. I’ve supported many clients through this.

The process can take up to 12 months.
