The diagnosis was supposed to be the turning point. For most adults in Ireland, it means a report and, often, a prescription. What comes after that is largely left to you to figure out. Medication is part of the picture for many people. Working out how to actually function with ADHD day to day is a different question. Coaching is built for that.

The Coaching
Practical support that picks up where the assessment stopped
Working With Gary
Certified ADHD coach from Dublin. 600+ sessions with adults in Ireland, the UK, and globally.
Most adults who get an ADHD diagnosis in Ireland feel the same initial thing: relief. It explains a lot. What comes next is less clear. 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.
• YOUR ADHD COACH
You will work with someone who has ADHD, was diagnosed at 32, and spent the best part of a decade after that still not figuring it out. I am Gary Hammond. I grew up in Dublin and spent 20 years in the Irish and European technology sector as a founder, Managing Director, and Head of Product.
The gap between what I knew I was capable of and what I could actually produce was persistent and exhausting. I know what it is like to understand the problem clearly and still not be able to act on it. In 2023, I began working with a specialist ADHD coach. The difference was significant enough that I retrained as a certified ADHD coach myself.

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.
• WHAT WE COVER
Every engagement is different. These are the areas that come up most consistently. Not a fixed curriculum: an honest picture of where the work tends to go.
Understanding how ADHD actually shows up for you specifically, not the textbook version, but the patterns you live with day to day.
Why getting started is harder than it should be, why momentum disappears, and what can be done about it practically.
The experience of having too much in your head and none of it in the right order. Building methods that reduce the noise.
Acting before thinking, saying yes when you mean no, changing direction too quickly. Understanding the pattern and slowing it down where it matters.
Most standard planning systems were not designed with ADHD in mind. Finding methods that actually hold up in practice.
What to do when interest and urgency are not enough to get things moving, and external pressure is not available.
No commitment required. Just a conversation to see if it is a good fit.
• 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.

I work with clients across Ireland with a flexible schedule that accommodates different working patterns and days. Sessions are delivered via Zoom. After each session, I send a written summary of what was covered and any commitments made. Between sessions, I keep in touch to help you stay on top of your goals, usually via WhatsApp.
