About ADHD Coaching

  • Coaching is...

    • A collaboration between coach and client.
    • A non-judgmental conversation...
    • ...with someone who has a deep understanding of your unique brain wiring.
    • Focused on mastery and action, but a chance to process your emotions, too.
    • A place to come up with new strategies and make tough decisions.
    • An opportunity to learn to work better with the brain you have.

  • Coaching is not...

    • ...therapy. It's not about healing or "fixing" you; we're aiming for mastery of your own brain, and taking action to get to where you want to be.
    • ...instruction. You won't be told what to do; we'll work together to come up with solutions that work for you (rather than the ones you've been told should work, but don't).
    • ...psychiatry. I can't diagnose you with ADHD, autism, or anything else. However, I can signpost you to the various avenues for diagnosis if you wish.

How I work

...and how I can help

I am based in London, UK, but I love working with clients from all over the world.

  • Adult 1:1 Coaching

    50 Minutes

    A tree against a bright sky

    50-minute one-to-one coaching sessions are a chance to better understand your brain, to develop strategies that really work for you, and to think through how to create a more fulfilling life, working with instead of against your unique brain wiring.

    50-minute sessions give us plenty of time to think through problems, to explore what sparks your interest and dopamine, and to talk through your ideas. You will bring a topic that feels particularly present for you to each session as a starting point for each session.

    We will usually work together biweekly, or sometimes weekly, for an initial period of 12 sessions before reviewing our progress. For some people, this is enough, but you can continue for as long as you find our work helpful. We will review regularly throughout our work together to ensure you're getting the most out of the process.

  • Workplace Training

    On Request

    A green forest

    I offer bespoke workplace training (delivered remotely or hybrid) to employers and organisations interested in better understanding the needs of neurodivergent employees, reducing workplace stress, leading to higher productivity, and increasing staff wellbeing.

    Please contact me if you would like to discuss this, rather than booking a consultation directly.

What People Say

I can honestly say my life is easier and happier after my coaching sessions with Emma. She is an amazing coach and person, and I would recommend her to anyone. She brings an excitement and genuine interest to helping you understand yourself and what works for you, that makes you feel valued and heard. I have not only learned loads of new strategies and techniques to help manage my ADHD, I also have a deeper understanding of myself. I will miss our sessions.
C, Berkshire
Your ability to ask the right questions, listen and just be with what I bring are exceptional. I feel like my beliefs about myself and and my understanding of my ADHD have been completely reframed for the better.
J, London
I feel fortunate that I came across you when I did, because, working with you, I managed to really shift my attitude to my challenges. You have a way of asking very insightful questions, but never in a forceful way, and that gave me the space I needed to stop and think deeply.

Fees

Sessions are £95 for 50 minutes for self-funded clients.

If sessions are booked in blocks of four, I offer a £10 discount.

If you are based in the UK, the Access to Work government grant scheme may be able to fund the full cost of your coaching if you are in employment or self-employed. If you would like to know more about Access to Work ADHD coaching, please get in touch. My rates for Access to Work and corporate clients differ from my self-paid rates, so please ask me for a quotation.

I also keep a limited number of sliding scale slots for anyone who cannot afford my full fee, although these are full at present.

About Me

I'm Emma Winston (or sometimes Emma A Winston, if you prefer), and I think our brains are wonderful. Yours too. Really.

I have ADHD, ASD, and a PhD. I've always found the hard things easy and the easy things hard. But I've harnessed my brain to do a lot of brilliant things. You can too. Let's figure it out together.

Before I was a coach, I worked in tech, academia, and as an artist and touring musician - so if you're a creative or geeky type, we'll probably have a lot in common!

I am a PCC and ACCG-certified ADHD coach. I trained in advanced coaching at ADDCA, one of only a few ICF-accredited ADHD coach trainings in the world.

I have, in total, more than 320 hours of training in ADHD-specific coaching, and have spent more than a thousand hours with clients. I take my work very seriously indeed, and am committed to upholding the highest possible coaching standards, receiving regular supervision and continuously developing my skills to make sure I can give you the best experience possible.
