Workplace Neurodiversity Coaching
1:1 coaching from Becca Brighty, Business Psychologist and ADHD coach (ICF, ACC) is designed to help ADHDers understand their ADHD brain and lean into the brain they were born with, resulting in improved wellbeing, productivity and performance.
What is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaching involves structured conversations designed to help an individual identify the causes of the issues they face through an ADHD-lense.
Coachees work with the coach to create practical solutions that reduce the negative impact of their ADHD. This gives the employee the space and energy to play to their strengths.
Why invest in coaching for ADHDers
Research indicates that coaching is as effective at managing the symptoms of ADHD as medication. ADHD does not have a negative impact on an employee’s ability to perform effectively at work. It is the lack of understanding of the condition, and an environment that does not align with an individual’s strengths and preferences, that causes performance and productivity issues.
Through coaching, an individual can learn to work with their brain and make small changes to their environment, resulting in huge improvements in wellbeing, productivity and confidence.
What happens during coaching?
It varies widely, depending on the issues that the individual faces. All coaching includes questions and time for reflection as well as education on the psychology and (very basic) neuroscience of ADHD.
All coaches complete a minimum of six sessions. During the first session, we will work together to identify the main challenges the coachee faces and decide what the first goal is and off we go…
Homework and reading suggestions are also provided.

“Becca takes a holistic approach to my spiky profile and has helped me see the opportunities that I was missing. Sometimes Becca’s insights hit me like a thunderclap.
For a long time, I felt desperate over how my neurodivergence was affecting my work life, but I now feel I can take a step back and use the strategies we’ve worked on. I’m also a bit more accepting of myself. I am different. And that’s okay.”
