ADHD Coaching with Access to Work: Government-Funded Workplace Support
Improving Workplace Accessibility with ADHD Coaching
If you’re struggling with ADHD at work, you don’t have to figure it out alone. The UK’s Access to Work scheme provides government-funded support, including ADHD coaching, to help with focus, time management, and organisation. With the right strategies, you can feel more in control, reduce stress, and thrive in your career.
Before starting coaching, it helps to know what to expect from an ADHD coach. ADHD coaching provides practical tools to help you set goals, recognise your strengths, build confidence, and improve organisation and time management—all essential for managing ADHD effectively in the workplace.

Am I eligible for Access to Work Funding?
