ADHD Coaching for Students

ADHD coaching for students helps with study, organisation, time management, procrastination and getting assignments done using practical strategies.

I work with high school students with ADHD, including HSC students, as well as students at university and TAFE. Many of my clients are capable students who struggle with consistency, organisation, motivation, and managing the demands of study — not because they lack ability, but because traditional education systems don't always align with how their brains work.

As a current high school teacher, I understand the HSC, school expectations, and the pressures students face from the inside. I help students understand their ADHD, build practical strategies, and develop ways of working that suit their brain and their goals.

Starting Tasks & Building Routines - Getting started is often the hardest part. I help students get going without the last-minute panic, and build routines that actually stick — not ones that look good on paper and fall apart in week two.

Managing Time Across Subjects - Juggling multiple subjects and overlapping deadlines is a common breaking point. I help students manage time across subjects and assessments before the pressure builds, and reduce the overwhelm that tends to hit hardest around exams and deadlines.

Subject Selection for Year 11 and 12 - Choosing subjects is a bigger decision than it looks, especially with ADHD in the mix. I help students organise and understand their options to set themselves up well for Year 11 and 12.

Getting the Right Support From School - Knowing what to ask for — and how — makes a real difference. I help students (and their families) get the right support from school. Read our full guide to ADHD support at school

Understanding Your ADHD - Part of the work is simply understanding your own brain — including recognising why impulsivity happens, not as a character flaw but as part of how ADHD works.

Beyond the Classroom - The same skills that help at school apply at home. I also work with students on taking responsibility for everyday things like chores, building consistency that carries across their whole life, not just study.
