Introduction
ADHD doesn’t only affect work or study — it also shapes how we connect with the people around us. From family life to friendships and romantic relationships, difficulties with attention, communication, emotional regulation, and follow-through can add tension. At the same time, ADHD can bring deep empathy, humour, and creativity into relationships. Coaching in this area focuses on building healthier connections, developing communication tools, and fostering confidence in social settings.
This hub explores key areas of ADHD coaching for relationships and social life, including:
- Couples & relationship coaching
- Parenting with ADHD
- Parenting children & teens with ADHD
- Social skills & confidence coaching
- Rejection sensitivity coaching (RSD/RSI)
- Emotional resilience & boundaries
Each of these areas has its own dedicated service page, where we look at specific strategies in more depth.
