The Coaching
Practical support that builds the plan the assessment never gives you
Working With Gary
Certified ADHD coach from Dublin. 800+ sessions completed. Individual sessions from €85.
Coaching is relevant whether you were diagnosed recently, have known about your ADHD for years, or are still working out whether ADHD explains what you have been experiencing.
Recently diagnosed
You have a diagnosis and you are working out what it means in practice. Coaching provides the practical follow-up that the assessment process does not.
Diagnosed some time ago but still stuck
You know what ADHD is. You have read the books and tried the advice. What you do not have is a practical framework that works for your specific version of it. That is what coaching builds.
Not yet formally diagnosed
You do not need a formal diagnosis to start. If ADHD is showing up consistently in your day-to-day, coaching is open to you regardless of where you are in the assessment process.
High-functioning but carrying a private cost
Everything looks fine on the outside. The internal effort to keep it that way is not fine. Coaching addresses the gap between visible performance and the reality behind it.
• YOUR ADHD COACH
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 32, after 20 years in tech as a founder and Managing Director. I know the gap between knowing what to do and doing it from the inside. In 2023, specialist coaching made enough of a difference that I retrained as a certified ADHD coach myself.

• HOW IT WORKS
Develop your understanding of where you and ADHD meet, and identify your unique challenges and strengths. Coaching builds the bridge between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
Get better awareness of your ADHD. Without insight into how it actually shows up for you, it is hard to make real progress.
With clarity on your challenges and strengths, you are guided to take charge using ADHD-specific methods tailored to your own neurological reality.
Coaching supports you to take the lead in shaping your own future, through an ongoing, collaborative partnership.
93% of adults who've tried ADHD coaching recommend it. Only 17% have tried it.

• WHAT WE COVER
These are the six areas that come up most often once the initial relief of a diagnosis wears off and the practical questions start.
The report tells you that you have ADHD. It does not tell you how that shows up in your actual week: at your desk, in the decisions that pile up by Friday. That is where coaching starts.
Starting is rarely the problem for long. Three days in, the plan usually stalls anyway. What matters more is what keeps momentum going once the initial push wears off.
Thoughts and reminders surface fast and vanish just as fast, often before you act on them. Having somewhere for them to land, before they disappear, is what coaching builds first.
Saying yes before you have thought it through, acting on the first reaction instead of the considered one. Lengthening that gap, even slightly, can be enough to catch it.
Most planning systems assume a steady baseline you can rely on week to week. ADHD rarely gives you that. What holds up instead is something built for the weeks that do not cooperate.
Interest and urgency carry you some of the time, not always. Staying in motion once neither shows up, with no one else pushing, is the harder part.
No commitment required. Just a conversation to see if it is a good fit.
• HOW SESSIONS WORK
Sessions usually pick up where the last one left off, continuing to refine what you are working on. When something more pressing comes up, we adjust. By the end, you leave having a plan for what the focus is to keep things moving.
After each session, I send a written summary of what was covered and any commitments made. Between sessions, we keep in touch where agreed to help you stay on top of your commitments. This is usually via WhatsApp and is included as standard.
Sessions are up to one hour and delivered via Zoom. That reaches clients across Ireland, not just Dublin, without a commute or fixed office hours to work around.
• WHAT CLIENTS IN IRELAND SAY
"Gary takes a calm and measured approach while letting you express yourself."
I joined the coaching sessions shortly after my initial diagnosis, with very limited knowledge or understanding of what ADHD truly is. Thanks to Gary's vast knowledge, patience, and lived experience, he provided clear insights. He has a real understanding of how ADHD affects day-to-day life and is exceptionally good at identifying what will and will not work.
"I finally have the tools to understand my own train of thought."
I found Gary's coaching invaluable to not only come to terms with my diagnosis, but also learning about ADHD as I was not too clued in on the condition. Gary has helped me understand why I struggle with certain things and I finally have the tools to understand my own train of thought and untangle it when it gets knotted.
"Gary has a real knack to know when to push and challenge me or when to step back."
I was led to come to understand and connect with my challenges with clarity and was supported as I created the right amount of support around me. Gary has helped me get a much better understanding of how my ADHD affects my approach to things.

Most adults who get an ADHD diagnosis in Ireland feel the same initial thing: relief. It explains a lot. There is rarely a plan for what happens after. ADHD Coaching can help. Private assessment costs between €600 and €1,200 and typically ends with a report and limited guidance on what to do with it. The HSE has no consistent pathway for adult ADHD support after diagnosis. Most people leave the process knowing more about their ADHD than when they started, and not much else.
That is not a criticism of the assessment process. An assessment tells you what is going on. It does not tell you how to work with it day to day. The practical work of understanding how ADHD is showing up in your specific life, and finding methods that hold when things get difficult, is a different kind of work altogether. That is where coaching starts.

FAQ
Questions about ADHD coaching in Ireland, diagnosis, funding, and how sessions work.
No. Coaching does not require a formal diagnosis. If ADHD is showing up consistently in your daily life and you want practical support, coaching is open to you at any stage of the assessment process. Many clients start before their assessment is complete and find that coaching helps them understand what to expect.
All sessions are delivered online via Zoom. There is no physical office. Online delivery means no commute, no travel time, and sessions that can fit around your working day and schedule. Clients across Ireland attend sessions from home or work, wherever they have a reliable connection and a private space. Sessions can be scheduled flexibly to fit around work, family, and the irregular schedule that ADHD often creates.
Sessions cost €95 each. A block of four sessions costs €340, which works out at €85 per session and is paid in advance. There is no minimum commitment upfront. You can pause or stop at any point, and unused sessions from a prepaid block are refundable.
After each session, I send a written summary of what was covered and any commitments made. Between sessions, we stay in touch to help you stay on track, usually via WhatsApp. This is included as standard.
There is no consistent post-diagnosis ADHD support through the HSE. Adults in employment may be able to access funding through the Work and Access scheme, an Irish government programme that can cover workplace supports including coaching. Some clients may be able to fund ADHD Coaching through their employer if budgets are available.
No. ADHD coaching in Ireland is not a regulated profession and there is no single required qualification. That makes it worth checking a coach's specific certification and experience before booking. I am a certified ADHD coach (ADHD Works), with further training in Positive Psychology and Advanced Adult ADHD Coaching through Mentor Coach, and I have completed 800+ sessions.
