PERSONALised SUPPORT for you
One-on-One ADHD Parent Coaching
You love your teen. You see their strengths, you want them to feel good about themselves and you're thinking about the young adult they're becoming.
You're doing your best for your teen. But sometimes you wish you had someone to talk things through with.
But parenting a teenager with ADHD can bring questions you never expected to have.
And depending on where you're at, those questions can look very different.
"We've just received an ADHD diagnosis. Where do
we start?"
You're relieved to have some answers, but now you have a hundred more questions.
You want to understand ADHD, know what will help and give your teen a positive start without overwhelming either of you.
"Things are going pretty well. I just want to be prepared."
Your teen is doing well, and you'd love to keep it that way.
You know school demands, friendships, responsibilities and expectations will change.
You want to understand how to support their growing independence while keeping your connection strong.
"I have ADHD too, and sometimes I'm struggling myself."
You're trying to support your teen while managing your own attention, emotions, organisation and everyday responsibilities.
Some days, there's not much energy left for anyone.
You'd love some support for yourself, knowing that when you feel more supported, that can make a difference to your whole family.
"I worry about how they'll manage on their own."
You can see your teen's potential, but getting started, remembering things, managing time and following through can be challenging.
You want to help them build independence, but you're not sure how to support their executive functions without doing everything for them.
"Everything seems to turn into an argument lately."
The reminders, pushback and difficult conversations are wearing you down.
Sometimes your teen seems rude, dismissive or unwilling to listen, and you're not sure whether to hold your ground, give them space or try something completely different. You miss the easier moments together.
Wherever you're starting from, your questions matter. And you deserve support too.

COMPASSIONATE PARENT COACHING
You don't need to wait until things get harder to ask for support.
And you certainly don't need to be at breaking point.
Sometimes you simply want to understand your teen better. Sometimes you need fresh ideas. And sometimes you need someone who understands ADHD to help you make sense of what's happening at home.
MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I'm Trudy!
I'm a qualified ADHD Life Coach, a former teacher with more than 25 years of experience, I've done the yards of parenting a teen with ADHD. And I'm also someone who discovered her own ADHD in adulthood (the signs were all there from childhood, but I still had no idea.) For me getting a diagnosis been the biggest gift for my mental health and well-being.
I've spent more than 2,000 hours coaching, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: When parents feel understood and supported themselves, they have more space to understand and support their teen.
That's why I offer one-on-one ADHD parent coaching.
A space that's just for you, where we can explore your questions, your concerns and what might make everyday life feel a little easier.
A GENTLE SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is your space. Let's make it useful for you.
ADHD education that connects to real life. We'll explore the parts of ADHD that are most relevant to your family.
That might include task initiation, working memory, planning, organisation, time management, emotional regulation, flexible thinking or self-advocacy.
Not just what these things mean, but how they can show up in everyday teenage life and what support might help.
2. Practical tools that fit your family
We'll explore strategies for the situations you're navigating, whether that's morning routines, schoolwork, phone use, communication or growing independence.
And we won't stop at talking about ideas.
I'll coach you through how you might use them, what could get in the way and how to adapt them to your teen.
3. Personalised coaching and gentle check-ins
Bring the questions you've been carrying around.
The conversation that didn't go as planned. The strategy that worked once and then stopped. The worry about what happens after school.
We'll make space to think things through, reflect on what's working and decide what you'd like to try next.
No judgement. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just thoughtful, practical support that's centred on you and your family.
No preparation required : Simply bring your honest questions
Support That Works for Your Family: Let's find practical ways to make everyday life a little easier, while keeping your connection with your teen at the heart of it.
Imagine feeling a little more confident about what
comes next.
.You understand your teen's ADHD in a whole new way.
You begin to recognise how executive functions, emotions, motivation and everyday demands can affect your teen. Things that once left you confused start to make a LOT more sense.
You feel more confident navigating tricky moments.
Whether it's phones, homework, big emotions or a conversation that isn't going well, you have practical ways to pause, respond (or repair) and find a way forward.
You spend less time second-guessing yourself.
Instead of wondering whether you're being too firm, too lenient or not doing enough, you feel more comfortable making decisions that fit your teen and your family.
You have more room to enjoy being their parent.
A laugh in the kitchen. A conversation in the car. Time together that isn't about reminders or what needs to be done next. Because your relationship matters just as much as the skills you're helping them develop.
No pressure or obligation. A gentle conversation to see if we are a good fit.
Why connection matters so much to me.
After more than 25 years in education, working with children and families, I've seen how easily adults can focus on what a young person isn't doing.
The homework that hasn't been started. The forgotten belongings. The emotional reaction that seems bigger than the situation.
But I've also learnt how much can change when we become curious about what's happening underneath.
And as a parent of a young person with ADHD, I understand that it's not always easy to stay curious when you're worried about your own child.
Add my own ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, and I've had the opportunity to understand these experiences from several different perspectives.
That's shaped the way I coach.
I don't believe teenagers need to become different people to thrive.
I believe they deserve to understand themselves, recognise their strengths and develop skills that help them navigate life in ways that work for them.
And I believe parents deserve the same understanding, encouragement and support.
Because you're not just helping your teen manage today. You're nurturing a relationship that can continue to grow as they find their own way in the world.
A warm, no-pressure chat to explore how we can support your teen.
25+ Years Supporting Neurodivergent Families
"Before coaching sessions with Trudy, our evenings were filled with explosive arguments over homework and jobs not being done. Coaching gave us practical and really insightful ways to see what was going in with our son. It's like a cloud has been lifted. Now we have the key to understanding our son's brain. Coaching has been a huge support and a relief.
Sarah M., Mum of a 14-year-old with ADHD
"The biggest shift was moving away from feeling helpless and guilty to feeling equipped. I stopped walking on eggshells around my daughter and started truly understanding what was happening underneath her overwhelm and procrastination."
Greta R., Mum of a 16-year-old
"It's like I've been living on auto pilot and my coaching sessions with Trudy have woken me up! Things were going downhill quickly with my daughter and I felt like I'd tried everything. A friend recommended Trudy and I knew I had to do something different. It's been the best investment for me as a Dad, but also for what I have been able to share with my daughter. Thank you Trudy!

One-on-one parent coaching could be a lovely fit if…
You've recently learnt your teen has ADHD and want to understand how best to support them.
Things are going well, but you'd like to feel prepared as your teen becomes more independent.
You're finding communication, emotions or everyday expectations increasingly difficult.
You're worried about your teen's confidence, organisation, motivation or ability to manage things independently.
You have ADHD yourself and want support navigating parenting alongside your own needs.
You value your relationship with your teen and want connection to remain at the heart of how you support them.
Compassionate, confidential support · 100% tailored to your family's needs
Sometimes the biggest changes happen in the
smallest moments.
You might notice yourself responding with curiosity instead of immediately feeling frustrated.
You might feel more comfortable letting your teen try something independently, knowing you can offer support if they need it.
You might find a way to talk about homework without it becoming the focus of your whole evening.
Or perhaps you begin to recognise when you're running low on energy and give yourself permission to pause.
And sometimes the change is simply feeling reassured that you're on the right track.

Parenting a teen with ADHD can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you do not have to carry it alone. Through dedicated one-on-one coaching, we replace ongoing conflict with practical tools, calm boundaries, and the deep connection your family deserves.
