Coaching vs. Counselling
What’s the difference — and which one’s right for you?
If you’re navigating ADHD, you’ve probably heard both these terms thrown around. But what’s the difference between coaching and counselling — and how do you know which one you need?
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
🧠 Counselling
For healing, processing, and understanding your past.
A licensed counsellor or therapist helps you work through emotional challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the deeper why behind your patterns.
Think of it as inner work; exploring how ADHD has shaped your life and relationships, and building emotional resilience.
Good fit if you want to:
-
Process past experiences (including school, family, or self-esteem challenges)
-
Manage anxiety, mood swings, or emotional regulation
-
Explore mental health support alongside your ADHD
-
Build self-compassion and emotional awareness
🚂 Coaching
For action, structure, and forward momentum.
An ADHD coach helps you build systems, set goals, and stay accountable, but without shame or overwhelm. It’s less about why and more about what now.
Good fit if you want to:
-
Build routines that actually work for your brain
-
Set goals and make progress on them
-
Break through procrastination
-
Stay motivated and accountable
-
Turn ADHD traits into tools
💡 Can you do both?
Absolutely. Many people benefit from both counselling and coaching. Working on the emotional side with a therapist, and the practical side with a coach. It’s not either-or. It’s about building your support system, one tool at a time.
