ADDCA, the renowned ADHD Coaching Academy based in New York defines Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as: a unique brain wiring which requires engaged interest with a clear, purposeful intention in order to activate and access attention so an individual can manage the brain’s Executive Functioning.
“Having ADD makes life paradoxical. You can superfocus sometimes but
also space out when you least mean to. You can radiate confidence and also feel as insecure as a cat in a kennel. You can perform at the highest level, feeling incompetent as you do so. You can be loved by many but feel as if no one really likes you. You can absolutely, totally, intend to do something, then forget to do it. You can have the greatest ideas in the world but feel as if you can’t accomplish a thing.”
Individuals with hyperactive and impulsive ADHD often display constant movement and are frequently described as being “driven by a motor.” Even when seated, they may find it difficult to stay still and often squirm or fidget. They may also struggle with self-regulation and self-control, often interrupting others, talking excessively, and impulsively blurting out answers. Hyperactive and impulsive ADHD is a commonly recognized subtype and is more frequently diagnosed in children and men.
Individuals with inattentive ADHD often struggle to sustain attention, follow detailed instructions, and organize tasks and activities. Many also make careless mistakes and have difficulty with working memory. They are easily distracted and often misplace things. As a result, they are sometimes mistakenly labelled as “lazy” or lacking persistence because they may wander off task or appear dreamy. It’s important to recognize that more children and adults, including girls, are now being diagnosed with inattentive ADHD.
Individuals with combined-type ADHD experience symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. They typically experience six or more symptoms associated with inattention and six or more symptoms linked to hyperactivity and impulsivity. This dual presentation of symptoms requires a comprehensive understanding and tailored approach for effective management and support.
Executive Function (EF) and self-regulation skills are mental processes that help us plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks effectively.
These skills depend on three types of brain function: working memory, mental flexibility, and self-control. These functions are highly interrelated, and the successful application of executive function skills requires them to operate in coordination with each other.
Each type of executive function skill draws on elements of the others.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting Fiona from REACH ADHD Coaching for two incredible workshops at our not-for-profit organisation. One tailored for Carers of Children with ADHD and another for Staff working with adults with ADHD. Fiona was absolutely wonderful: warm, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable.
The training was exceptional. Fiona broke down complex neuroscience in a way that was clear, relatable, and empowering. Her explanation of how the ADHD brain works was both fascinating and practical, helping us better understand the people we support. Each session was thoughtfully tailored to the audience, with focused content that reflected Fiona’s deep expertise and genuine passion for the topic.
It was evident throughout that Fiona truly understands ADHD, not just academically, but with real insight and compassion. We left feeling informed, inspired, and better equipped to support our community. Highly recommend REACH ADHD Coaching and Fiona’s workshops to any organisation seeking impactful, evidence-based training. Cannot wait to have Fiona back at our organisation.
When I first met with Fiona I was struggling to complete uni assignments,, missing appointments and in general finding it difficult to stay on top of day to day things.
After my sessions with her the changes have been amazing! I’ve learned how to work with my ADHD brain not against it and with the tools she’s taught me I’ve learned how to show kindness to myself and tackle tasks in a way that’s effective to me.
Highly recommend if you’re looking to manage your ADHD and make some long lasting changes for the better!

I found your PL session very informative, particularly in clarifying what ADHD is and isn’t. I also loved that you included practical strategies to implement into the classroom to support our students. I went home so excited and inspired, I stayed up late typing up all my notes! I have shared them today with not only my school, but Aspiri Primary School, who have asked me to provide a neurodiverse perspective to their behaviour and wellness plan. I will also share the information you provided below regarding REACH ADHD coaching and consultancy service. Your doing amazing things!

Parenting Connection WA recently partnered with Debbie, Fiona and ADHD WA to bring three webinars to parents and carers across WA. Our experience was incredibly positive from our first planning discussions to the final event. Each webinar had a different focus with Debbie and Fiona being well prepared with an engaging presentation full of parenting tips and information. It is clear they know the ADHD world very well and can offer a lot to families involved in it. Their presentation style is warm and friendly, and they can explain new concepts well. The feedback from participants was overall incredibly positive and many parents/carers joined more than one webinar. There have been requests for us to work with Fiona and Debbie again as it seems to be a growing need for parents today.
I wish I could give Reach ADHD more than five stars. Debbie has had the most phenominal impact on us as a family. We can’t thank her enough. Debbie’s genuine care for others, her expertise and experience as a teacher and an ADHD coach, combined with her belief in everyone she sees, their wonderful uniqueness and how to tap into these skills, has enabled not only my child but his teachers and peers to see and believe in his many strengths and skills that he brings. Thank you for your kindness and for always believing in our chilidren and us as adults. Its amazing what is does for your confidence, abilities and self worth.

Accessing sessions with Debbie at REACH ADHD Coaching has been the best thing to happen to me since my adult diagnosis. While I have always scoffed at the idea of “life coaches”, the service provided has helped me get back on my feet and to a pathway of sustainable mental health and productivity. Far exceeding the benefits I have sought through years of traditional talk therapy in just a few sessions. I can’t recommend them enough!

My son has been seeing Debbie this year for ADHD coaching.
I cannot express enough how much she has helped my son. He has become a different person. So much confidence, less anxiety and able to block out distractions.
He has excelled at school this year due to all of Debbie’s help and nurturing manner.
I highly recommend!

I was given these sessions by uni as I had been really overwhelmed trying to balance my Masters, work life and social life with ADHD and Autism. Fiona at Reach has really helped me recognise and utilise strategies that help me focus, organise life and manage my time. She has been very supportive and neuro-affirming, providing a friendly, judgement-free attitude in a calm space. I cannot thank Fiona enough for how much she has helped me over the past couple of months. I know myself better and am more confident in trusting my how my brain wants to process things. Thank you a billion!
