ADHD Support At Work

Online ADHD support at work, exploring what gets in the way and finding strategies that actually fit how your brain works.

Does This Sound Familiar?

Maybe you have been here before. A new job, a fresh start, the quiet hope that this time things will feel different. And for a few weeks, they do. Then slowly, the familiar pattern begins to creep back in. You notice you are working harder than everyone else just to keep up, or there is not enough to hold your attention and you are slipping away to the bathroom just to break the monotony. You start doubting yourself. You wonder why something that looks so straightforward for your colleagues feels so draining for you.

Perhaps it is not the job that is the problem. Maybe it never was. ADHD can follow you from role to role, making it hard to settle, hard to perform in the way you know you are capable of, and hard to feel like you truly belong in a workplace that was not really designed with your brain in mind.

But it does not have to stay that way. With the right support, you can start to explore what environments actually work for your brain, what strategies help you get through the day without it costing you so much, and how to make your current workplace feel a little more manageable. And if you are thinking about a change, we can look at what to consider when you are searching for something that might be a better fit.

Support For Your Workday

ADHD can make work feel mentally exhausting, especially when you are trying to manage deadlines, focus, overwhelm, masking, or a constant mental load that never seems to switch off.

Working together, we can explore what is actually going on for you at work, break things down into areas like organisation, focus, time-keeping, planning, and relationships with colleagues, all connected to executive functioning, and find practical strategies that feel realistic and manageable for your brain and your role.

There is also space to look at the bigger picture, including boundaries, people-pleasing, and learning to advocate for yourself at work. Sessions are tailored around you and what you bring, because everyone’s experience of ADHD at work is different.

Funding through the Access to Work scheme may also be available for some clients.

The Emotional Side of Work

Work can affect more than just productivity. Many people find that ADHD at work brings up overwhelm, self-doubt, masking, or the pressure of constantly trying to keep up, even when things look fine from the outside.

There can also be a real grief in it, looking around at colleagues who seem to manage things so easily, and wondering why it costs you so much more. That gap between how you appear and how you actually feel can be exhausting to maintain.

Alongside practical strategies, there is space to explore this side too, how it feels, where it comes from, and what might help it feel a little lighter. Sometimes just making sense of it can take some of the weight off.

This sits alongside the wider, integrated approach I bring to all coaching. You can read more about that on the ADHD Coaching page.

ADHD Coaching at Work FAQs

What can ADHD support at work help with?

ADHD support at work can help with many of the challenges that ADHD can create in the workplace, including overwhelm, prioritising tasks, focus, organisation, confidence, communication, time management, and managing workload. Together, we can explore practical strategies that feel realistic and manageable, while also understanding what works best for your individual strengths, role, and working style.

Is ADHD coaching only about work problems?

Not at all. Work is often where ADHD shows up most visibly, but it’s rarely the whole picture. This page focuses on how ADHD affects your working life, but the coaching itself is part of a wider, integrated approach that can support whatever feels most relevant to you, whether that’s at work, at home, or in how you feel day to day. You can read more about this on the ADHD Coaching page.

What does ADHD support at work actually look like?

Sessions take place online and are tailored to your individual needs, because everyone brings their own challenges to this work. There’s no fixed structure, but we often explore your work situation by looking at areas like organisation, focus, time-keeping, planning, and relationships at work. You can bring whatever difficulties feel most pressing, and other topics we might work with include boundaries, people-pleasing, and learning to advocate for yourself.

Can I use Access to Work funding for this?

Funding through the Access to Work scheme may be available for some clients, and this can sometimes be used towards coaching sessions. If you’re not sure whether this applies to you, it’s something we can talk through on a discovery call.
