"However Trudy welds her magic it works!"
Trudy coached my 15-year-old son for six months, and the change in him has been incredible. He looked forward to every session with Trudy—even the ones that started at 7 am! He’s so much happier now, thinking proactively about how he wants to approach school, and his confidence has grown immensely. We can’t thank Trudy enough for her support and guidance!

"Trudy is an amazing coach!"
She took the time to meet the whole family. Trudy has really helped my daughter with learning about how her ADHD affects her individually and how to manage it. Trudy is one of those rare precious school teachers that are so good with kids that you just want to bottle them. She goes above and beyond.

"Trudy sees my son for exactly who he is - beautiful, sensitive, smart, and creative."
My son would come away from every single session with Trudy with a huge smile on his face. They connected in a meaningful way and he felt seen and heard and understood. Trudy is a gift to our kids, she is fun and sparkly and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a guiding light and mentor on their ADHD journey.

Find answers to commonly asked questions about ADHD coaching for teens
We set clear goals: I help teens define achievable goals that are realistic and specific to their needs, so they have a direction to work toward.
We create tailored strategies: Together, we develop practical tools to manage ADHD-related challenges like focus, organisation, time management and emotional well-being.
We highlight their strengths: I focus on what they’re naturally good at and use those strengths to create personalised solutions for the obstacles they face.
We build skills: I teach them essential executive function skills, such as planning, prioritising tasks, and managing their time effectively.
We reflect and stay accountable: Each session, we review their progress, celebrate their wins, and identify areas for growth to keep them on track.
Each coaching session goes for 45 minutes.
I have a degree in education and a diploma in teaching, with over 25 years of experience as a teacher and literacy intervention specialist. I completed my ADHD coach training at The International ADHD Coach Training Center, an ICF Accredited Coach Training Organization. I'm also an associate member of AADPA (Australian ADHD Professional Association), which keeps me connected with the latest research and best practices in supporting individuals with ADHD
My availability can vary depending on current bookings, but I do my best to accommodate new clients as soon as possible. If my schedule is full, I do offer a waitlist. Joining the waitlist is simple, and I’ll keep you updated when a spot becomes available.
In the meantime, I also have the ADHD Teen Hub which provides group coaching sessions, resources, educational short videos, weekly tools and strategies which your teen will benefit from.
This is an excellent starting point, your teen can join for support while waiting for an individual spot.
ADHD coaching sessions are confidential between your teen and me. However, there will be times when your teen may need your support with implementing the strategies we’ve planned. Coaching is designed to complement other forms of support but isn't a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. My role is to help your teen develop practical strategies and behaviours to manage their ADHD more effectively and confidently.
Improves focus and organisation: Coaching helps your teen develop tools to stay organised and focused on tasks, both at school and home.
Builds time management skills: Your teen will learn how to better manage their time, set priorities, and meet deadlines more effectively.
Boosts confidence: Coaching encourages your teen to recognise their strengths and use them to overcome challenges, building self-confidence.
Supports emotional regulation: Teens learn strategies to manage emotions like frustration, overwhelm, and anxiety in a healthy way.
Encourages self-advocacy: Coaching empowers your teen to communicate their needs, ask for help, and take ownership of their ADHD management.
This is a great question! It's a bit tricky to answer because every teen is unique, with their own set of challenges and strengths. On average, most of my teen clients benefit from around 20 weekly one-on-one sessions to start with. After that, we usually move into fortnightly sessions as they begin to feel more confident and develop their skills. However, the exact number of sessions will depend on your teen's individual needs and progress.
A coach is...
Someone who listens, celebrates your wins, and helps you work through challenges.
Always in your corner, offering support and encouragement as you navigate school and life.
Your partner in figuring out ways to stay organised, build confidence, and make homework, friendships, or school feel a little easier.
There to help you find what works for you, so you can feel more in control and ready to tackle things one step at a time.
A coach is about making things less overwhelming and helping you see what’s possible!
