Connected & Capable is a six-week, small-group ADHD coaching program for parents of teenagers with ADHD.

We'll explore ADHD, executive functions, emotional regulation, communication and practical ways to support your teen.

But this isn't just about learning information. It's about making sense of what's happening in your own home, asking questions, sharing experiences and discovering approaches that feel right for your family.

And yes, there'll be plenty of opportunities for those wonderful "Ohhhh, now that makes sense!" moments!

Absolutely! In fact, that's one of the reasons I created Connected & Capable.

Your teen doesn't need to attend, participate or even be interested in coaching.

This program is for you.

Sometimes, when we begin to understand our teen's ADHD differently, we naturally begin to approach conversations, expectations and everyday challenges differently too.

And that can be a really meaningful place to start.

This is something we'll spend quite a bit of time exploring.

When conversations seem to revolve around reminders, unfinished tasks, screen time and disagreements, it's understandable that both parents and teens can begin to feel frustrated.

We'll look at what's happening underneath some of those difficult moments and explore ways to communicate, reconnect and work together.

I can't promise that arguments will disappear, but I can help you develop a better understanding of what's happening and explore different ways to respond..

Not unless you want to!

I know joining a group can feel a little daunting, especially when you're talking about something as personal as parenting.

You're welcome to listen, reflect, ask questions or share experiences when you feel comfortable.

I'll encourage everyone to respect each other's privacy and experiences, and we'll agree on group confidentiality expectations from the beginning.

There's no pressure to share more than feels right for you.

I'd love both parents to be involved when possible!

It can be really helpful when the adults supporting a teen begin to develop a shared understanding of ADHD and explore approaches together.

But please don't worry if only one parent can attend. You can still gain plenty from the program and begin applying what you learn at home.

We can discuss enrolment arrangements for two parents during our initial chat.

You're welcome to have a conversation with me about whether Connected & Capable would be suitable for your family.

Some parents are already supporting a teen with an ADHD diagnosis. Others may be waiting for an assessment or beginning to recognise ADHD-related challenges.

The program focuses on understanding executive functions, communication and practical support rather than diagnosis.

Coaching doesn't replace a professional assessment, but many of the ideas we explore can still be useful..

I love this question!

Many parents arrive with plenty of ADHD knowledge. They've listened to podcasts, followed experts, read books and tried all sorts of strategies.

But knowing about ADHD and knowing what to do when your teen is overwhelmed, refusing to start homework or arguing about their phone can be two very different things!

We'll take that knowledge and explore how it relates to real situations in your home.

And because we're coaching together, you'll have opportunities to reflect, ask questions and experiment with practical ideas.

Yes! This is a really important part of Connected & Capable.

We'll explore practical tools for supporting executive functions, managing transitions, communicating during emotional moments, navigating screen time and encouraging independence.

But I'm not going to hand you a list of 50 things to start doing tomorrow!

We'll focus on manageable ideas you can experiment with, adapt and make your own. Because the best strategy is one that makes sense for your teen and is realistic for your family.

Then you're certainly not alone.

Sometimes a strategy isn't quite the right fit. Sometimes the timing is wrong. And sometimes something that worked beautifully last month suddenly doesn't work this week!

We'll explore why that might be happening. Rather than adding more pressure to keep trying harder, we'll approach things with curiosity and look at what your teen might need.

You don't need to arrive with a success story. You can arrive exactly where you are.

Definitely not!

You know your teen in ways nobody else does. You bring years of experience, love and understanding of your family.

I bring ADHD knowledge, coaching experience and practical tools.

Connected & Capable is about bringing those things together.

We'll explore different perspectives, ask questions and consider what might be helpful. There isn't one perfect way to parent a teenager with ADHD.

And there's certainly no judgement here.

In individual coaching, our conversations are focused entirely on you and your family's circumstances.

In Connected & Capable, you'll also benefit from learning alongside other parents. And something rather lovely often happens in groups.

One parent asks a question you hadn't thought to ask. Another shares an experience that sounds remarkably familiar. And suddenly, you realise you're not the only one navigating these challenges.

You'll still have opportunities to ask questions and reflect on your own family, but you'll also benefit from the experiences and perspectives of others.

I know family life can be unpredictable, particularly when you're juggling teenagers, work and everything else!

If you think you might miss a session, please let me know.

We'll discuss what resources or information may be available to help you stay connected with the program.

I'll also explain the arrangements for missed sessions before you enrol, so you know exactly what to expect.

Building independence is one of the important themes we'll explore. But independence doesn't mean suddenly expecting your teen to manage everything on their own.

We'll look at how executive functions develop, why some everyday responsibilities can be challenging and how to provide support without taking over.

The aim is to help you recognise when to offer scaffolding, when to collaborate and when your teen might be ready to take the next step.

And remember, independence develops differently for every teenager

I'll explain the current program fee, payment arrangements and what's included during our initial conversation, so you can make an informed decision about whether it's right for you.

There'll be no pressure to enrol.

That's exactly what our free 15-minute call is for!

You can tell me a little about your teen, what's been happening at home and what you're hoping might feel different.

I'll explain how the group works, answer your questions and we'll explore whether it's the right kind of support for you.

And if another option seems more appropriate, we can talk about that too.
