Support for Individuals

We offer personalised ADHD coaching for individuals that focuses on empowering personal and professional wellbeing.

Each coaching session lasts 60 minutes and is carried out over zoom.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form and we’ll get in touch to schedule a discovery call. These are free, and last about 20 minutes.

It’s a chance for you to ask any questions you might have about the process, and to get a read on if you feel like the coach is a good match for you.

There’s no pressure to follow on to book a block of coaching- we very much DO NOT believe in the hard sell. You’re the only one who can decide if things feel like the right fit.

Coaching can adapt to your needs and your goals, but it can help to have a sense of the jumping off points that we can start from.

Most Neuropirates clients start from one of three places:

1) Understanding myself and ADHD: This can be helpful if you’ve more recently been diagnosed, or realised that you have ADHD. We focus on exploring what ADHD is, and where it might be showing up most for you- helping to identify where strategies, supports and accommodations may have the biggest impact day to day.

2) Toolkit development: This can be useful when you’ve known that you have ADHD for a while, and want to take another look at what’s working, what might not be, and where you might want to experiment with new approaches and strategies to tackle specific challenges, or put in place more formalised accommodations or supports.

3) Project focus: This can be helpful when you have a specific personal or professional goal in mind. We build in accountability and support to keep you focused and on-track and to manage the inevitable curve-balls that come with working through a project plan.

We’re driven by empathy and curiosity, and each coaching connection is tailored to the client’s individual goals and challenges.

Like all good coaching should be.

What makes Neuropirates coaching a bit different is the combination of our knowledge of both the arts industry, (and what it’s like to be a self-employed/ freelance creative worker within it), and our links to the ADHD academic research community (we’re nerdy about both ADHD brains and neurodivergent identity).

We work with adults (aged 18+) and specialise in working with creatives, and self-employed/ freelance creative industry workers.

This is for two reasons:

1) If you have an existing creative practice, this is often a great place to source strategies and approaches from. The creative process is often experimental, circular and iterative, and can look very different to traditional ‘planning’ frameworks. Already having a creative practice, whether or not this is something you do professionally, is an amazing resource when it comes to exploring ways of working and planning which can feel more natural for ADHD brains.

2) The creative and arts industries can offer many benefits as a working environment for people with ADHD, however they can also present specific challenges. Having a coach who is familiar with the contexts and challenges of the industry can be a helpful short-cut to building connection and shared understanding about your work patterns and how they can impact wellbeing.

Importantly, neither of these is a requirement for accessing ADHD coaching with Neuropirates. If you feel like we might be a good fit, just get in touch, and we can chat about what might work best for you in the discovery call.

Absolutely not. In fact, you don’t even have to be totally sure that you have ADHD.

A formal diagnosis can be very useful to access certain types of supports, like medication.

But coaching can be helpful even if you don’t meet the threshold of day-to-day impairment that’s required for formal diagnosis, if you’ve decided that you’d rather not go through the process, or if you’re currently on a very long wait list.

If you’ve ever thought ‘hmmm, that sounds a lot like my experience’, then you might find real benefit in exploring some of the strategies, supports and approaches that people with ADHD often benefit from.

We care about making coaching affordable, and set our rates significantly lower than current industry standard.

For individuals who are self-funding, the initial block of 6 sessions costs £390, with follow-on sessions after that at £65 each.

When the funding is coming from an employer, access-to-work, or is an access cost connected to a grant-funded project, then it’s £85 per session, and we adjust the amount of sessions in the block to match what was awarded.
