Our 6 Training Requirements

We believe that training to become an ADHD coach isn't just about gaining knowledge—it's a transformative journey that takes commitment. 

1. Process-Driven Approach

Our training embraces a process-driven philosophy, fundamentally different from many other coach training providers. We don't start by focusing on the client; instead, we begin with you. Our training aims to help you explore your own experiences, emotions, and understandings. By confronting and understanding your own process, you become equipped to help others navigate theirs.

2. Whole Self Commitment

This course requires your whole self. It's not about ticking boxes or filling in gaps on a resume—it's about transformative learning that changes the way you think, feel, and interact with the world.

3. Prioritising Self-Development

We place self-development at the heart of our training. This emphasis is not an afterthought or a supplementary module—it is embedded from the very start. As future coaches, you will learn to value and engage in continuous self-growth and reflection. We believe that the best coaches continually work towards greater emotional granularity.

4. Understanding ADHD and Internalised Ableism

The goal is not only to understand ADHD and the associated challenges but also to confront and dispel ableist perspectives we may have unconsciously internalised. This clarity helps us navigate internalised ableism in others.

5. A Neuroaffirmative Approach

Our commitment to a Neuroaffirmative approach underscores the importance of acknowledging and embracing difference rather than deficit. It also means centering the Neurodivergnt experience and making explicit neuronormative assumptions so that they can be effectively challenged.

6. Support Throughout Your Journey

Given the intensive nature of our training, we strongly recommend all our students seek the support of an ADHD coach or therapist. This support provides a sounding board, an emotional outlet, and a personal guide as you navigate the challenges and triumphs of this transformative journey. Your coach or therapist will not only assist in managing your process and emotions but also offer valuable insights and perspectives to enhance your learning experience.

From June 2024, you will be able to source potential ADHD coaches from our Gold Mind directory.
