ADHD Coaching Through Access to Work
Support for Your Workday
If you’re applying for Access to Work, you can use your funding for one-to-one ADHD coaching that fits around your work and your day.
Here’s what that can look like:
- One-to-one support focused on your role and the challenges you’re facing
- Space to work on things like time management, overwhelm, boundaries, or confidence
- Flexible sessions that work around your energy, schedule, and funding
This is about helping you feel more in control at work, in a way that actually works for you.
Is This Right For You
This support is for you if you already have an Access to Work grant in place and want ADHD coaching that’s practical, personalised, and easy to fit around your work.
You might be looking for support with focus, organisation, overwhelm, or managing your day in a way that feels more manageable.
You may have tried to push through on your own, or found that things don’t quite stick, even when you know what you need to do. This gives you space to slow things down, find what works for you, and build strategies you can actually use day to day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Access to Work and how does it help?
Access to Work is a government scheme that provides funding to support people in work who may need extra help due to a health condition or difference such as ADHD. This can include funding for ADHD coaching, practical tools, or other support that helps make work feel more manageable and sustainable.
Am I eligible for ADHD coaching through Access to Work?
You may be eligible if you are in paid work, self-employed, or about to start a job, and feel that ADHD is impacting your work in some way. You do not always need a formal diagnosis to apply. Access to Work will look at your situation and decide what support could be helpful for you.
Can I choose my own ADHD coach?
Yes, you can choose who you work with. If you decide to work with me, you would simply include my details when arranging your support. Access to Work will then confirm the funding, and payments can be made either to you or directly to me, depending on what is agreed.
How do I apply for Access to Work support?
You can apply online through the GOV.UK website. The process involves answering a few questions about your work and the support you feel would help. After applying, you may be contacted to talk through your needs before a decision is made about the support available.
