YES,

YOUR ADHD TEEN CAN THRIVE!

Hi I’m Trudy,

I help parents (just like you!) and your teen with ADHD understand each other better, feel more connected and find practical ways to make everyday life a little easier.

Together we build your teens confidence, capability and independence.

Here’s the deal:

Parenting a teen with ADHD and knowing how to support them are two very different things.

You're doing everything you can to help your teen,

but the constant reminders, arguments and worry are leaving you both exhausted.

You’ve tried the strategies, read the advice,

and listened to the experts, but nothing seems to be changing or working for your family.

You know how creative, kind and funny your teen is

but they're losing confidence in themselves, and you're worried about their future.

It doesn't have to stay this way.

Parenting a teen with ADHD doesn’t need to feel this hard.

And being a teen with ADHD doesn’t either.

I know what it feels like to worry about your teens future... while wondering if you're doing enough.

I spent over 25 years teaching kids who were bright, capable and misunderstood.

Then ADHD became personal. My son was diagnosed, and later so was I.

Now I combine my teaching experience, lived experience and thousands of coaching hours to help parents and teens understand ADHD, build confidence and thrive.

Three Ways to Work with Me...

MOST POPULAR

Connected & Capable

A supportive coaching program for parents of teens with ADHD who want to...

Understand your teen in a whole new way. Learn what’s happening underneath procrastination, overwhelm and big emotions, so you can respond with more curiosity, connection and confidence.

Change the conversations you’re having at home. Discover practical ways to communicate, reduce reminders and navigate tricky moments, while keeping your relationship with your teen at the centre.

Build connection, confidence and capability together. Learn practical ADHD-friendly approaches that support your teen’s executive functions while helping them understand themselves and become more independent.

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

For Parents

More understanding. Less worry. Stronger connection.

Understand what’s really going on. Learn how ADHD and executive functions can show up in everyday life, so procrastination, forgetfulness, big emotions or 'not listening' start to make more sense.

Know how to support without taking over. Feel more confident about when your teen needs scaffolding, what that support could look like, and when you can step back and let them have a go.

Help them build skills for themselves. Move beyond constant reminders towards helping your teen develop the executive function skills, confidence and independence they’ll need as they get older.

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

For Teens

Growing confidence, capability and executive function skills.

Help your teen understand their ADHD brain better. They’ll learn what’s happening when starting, focusing, remembering or managing emotions feels hard, and discover what actually works for them.

Give your teen strategies that work for them. Together we experiment with practical ADHD-friendly ways to get started, manage time and stay organised, without expecting one approach to fit everyone.

Build their confidence, capability and independence. Your teen develops executive function skills for school and everyday life, while learning to trust themselves and rely less on you over time.

ADHD Resources

Practical help you can start using today.

Understand what’s actually going on. Help teens make sense of their ADHD and executive functions, while giving parents a clearer understanding of what might be getting in the way.

Find practical ideas you can actually use. Simple ADHD-friendly tools, strategies and scripts help teens experiment with what works for them and give parents practical ways to support them.

Build confidence, capability and independence. Help teens understand themselves, develop executive function skills and rely more on their own strategies, while parents gradually step back from managing everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What can I expect in a session?

Each session is calm, supportive, and focused on what matters most to you (or your teen). We explore challenges, build awareness, and create realistic strategies that fit your life.

2. Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching focuses on what’s happening now and how to move forward. It’s about practical tools, self-understanding, and gentle accountability, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.

3. Would we meet online or in person?

All sessions are 100% online. You can join from anywhere, all you need is a quiet space, a device, and an internet connection.

4. How long will it take before I start noticing a difference?

Many clients notice small shifts within between five-ten sessions. Real change builds over time as new habits and awareness start to stick.

5. How long are sessions, and how often do we meet?

Individual coaching sessions run for 45 minutes and are held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your goals and what feels manageable. Many clients start weekly to build momentum, then move to fortnightly as things begin to click.

Stay in the loop.
