Coaching and Books
ADHD coaching can be a powerful tool that could help you target the most impairing symptoms and develop strategies and skills for planning, organizing, and moving forward. It's a journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, where you can work towards optimizing your unique strengths and take steps to meet the challenges of ADHD.
Using coaching to help manage your ADHD symptoms
Dr. Cubbin advocates coaching and has heard from many patients about how it can be hugely helpful. However, unlike medicine, nursing, and psychology, coaching is an unregulated profession. This does not mean that a good coach cannot be found. Dr. Cubbin recommends an excellent ADHD coach, Gillian Shakespeare, who initially coached in educational settings and is now developing a practical, empathy-based ADHD coaching strategy.
If you're interested in receiving coaching to help manage your ADHD symptoms and their impact on your life, we don't arrange this through the clinic, but please reach out to us, and we can pass on your details to Gillian, who will contact you directly. Additionally, if you'd like to express your interest in a GROUP COACHING course specifically designed for WOMEN with ADHD, led by Dr. Sally Cubbin and Gillian, please contact us, and we'll notify you once the course is available. This course is currently in development.
Dr. Cubbin and Gillian Shakespeare, an author, illustrator, and coach, have also collaborated on a book about ADHD and Women commissioned by Little Brown Books, due to be published on 1st October 2026. This is available for pre-order now.
