Choose the right ADHD Coach
Finding the right ADHD Coach is crucial. A certified ADHD Coach not only supports individuals in developing strategies and improving executive functioning but also has extensive knowledge of ADHD and its challenges. They apply their expertise in a collaborative and exploratory process to identify clients’ unique paths for growth.
However, not all coaches are equally qualified. To ensure ethical and truly supportive coaching, it’s important to verify the coach’s certifications, experience, and coaching approach before making a decision.
Why certification matters
Not all coaching certifications are the same. While many coaches may call themselves ADHD coaches, only those certified by recognised organisations have completed rigorous training, practical coaching hours, and assessments of their skills.
Look for certifications from:
PAAC – Professional Association of ADHD Coaches
The only organisation exclusively dedicated to certifying ADHD coaches.
Ensures high professional standards in coaching skills and a deep understanding of ADHD.
Certifications:
- CACP – Certified ADHD Coach Practitioner
- PCAC – Professional Certified ADHD Coach
- MCAC – Master Certified ADHD Coach
ICF – International Coaching Federation

Certifications:
- ACC – Associate Certified Coach
- PCC – Professional Certified Coach
- MCC – Master Certified Coach
An ADHD Coach with a recognised certification provides more than just coaching—they bring specialised knowledge, ethical standards, and co-creates strategies with you that can make a real difference. Taking the time to carefully verify certifications, experience, and coaching style will help you find the best coach for your needs.
