Question 1

What is Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Most people don't know what coaching is or how it can help. Coaching is a partnership - a collaborative process between coach and client. A coach uses powerful questioning and active listening to help you discover your own solutions, clarify your goals, and take actionable steps. It isn't advice giving or telling you what to do, it is about creating clarity. It helps you take a step back, reflect on where you are now, plan and take actionable steps in line with where you want to be.

Coaching helps break through limiting beliefs, overcome obstacles and unlock potential that you may not have realised you had. Coaching provides the tools, support, and accountability to help you thrive.

Question 2

What coaching do you offer?

Accepted Answer

At The Chaotic Mind Coach, we focus on a person-centred approach tailoring to individuals' needs. We specialise in:

Therapeutic Coaching
ADHD Coaching (also other neurodivergence)
Life Coaching

Therapeutic coaching blends coaching techniques with therapeutic approaches, which can include elements of EFT Tapping or ACT therapy  While the focus is still forward-moving, it also gently addresses emotional wounds, past patterns, or mental health challenges that may be holding you back. It’s especially helpful if deeper healing is needed alongside goal achievement.

ADHD Coaching helps those living with an ADHD/AuDHD diagnosis, or self-diagnosed, to better manage ADHD symptoms. It provides practical tools and strategies to improve daily life and can include time management, task initiation, organisation, emotional regulation, and getting sh*t done!

Life Coaching helps you to find the way between where you are now and where you want to be. It is about setting and achieving goals in different aspects of your life, and taking action to get there. When you are feeling stuck, life coaching will give you clarity and direction to find a way forward.

Question 3

What is the difference between coaching, counselling and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Counselling and therapy are primarily focused on healing. Clients often seek therapy because they’re experiencing emotional or psychological distress and want relief from pain, trauma, or unresolved issues. Therapy typically explores the past to understand the roots of current struggles and support recovery.

Coaching is future-focused, rather than addressing dysfunction, coaching helps clients build on what’s already working. A person might come to coaching with a stable life, but a desire to grow, gain clarity, or achieve new goals. Coaching supports that forward momentum by helping clients clarify their vision, overcome internal blocks, and take purposeful action toward a more fulfilling life.

Question 4

What can I expect during a coaching session?

Accepted Answer

Coaching sessions are safe, judgment-free, neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly spaces. This gives you the opportunity to explore your thoughts, challenges, and goals confidently. You’ll gain insight, practical tools, and a personalised action plan to help bring structure to your life.

A coaching session is more structured than counselling or therapy. Coaching sessions are generally start with a check in, checking progression from previous sessions, what barriers have come up, what could be done differently, etc. Each session will have a focus, this will be the bulk of your session and finding solutions and ways to move forward. The session will end with summarising, reflections and what you're committing to do before the next meeting.

Question 5

Counselling doesn't work for me, how do I know coaching will?

Accepted Answer

Counselling heavily focuses on the past, coaching is likely to work if you're ready to take action on your future. Counselling is to help you heal and cope, coaching focuses on goal setting, specific outcomes, and actionable next steps.

The rapport with your coach is also key to progress, it creates trust, psychological safety, enhances accountability and more.

Question 6

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your goals and situation. We currently offer ad-hoc sessions when needed, though a minimum of 4 are recommended to build momentum and rapport. Though, some clients feel shifts in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months. We’ll co-create a plan that works best for you.

Question 7

Is this coaching suitable for people with ADHD or anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While coaching doesn’t replace medical treatment, it can be a powerful complement - especially for managing overwhelm, building routines, and cultivating emotional resilience. We do offer ADHD specific coaching too, to help better manage ADHD symptoms by building strategies that work for you.

Question 8
