Access to Work ADHD support.
Specialist coaching. A clearer way forward.
If ADHD is impacting your work — your focus, emotional regulation, confidence or energy — you may be eligible for support through Access to Work.
Access to Work, explained
Support for the work you do. Not another demand to cope.
Access to Work is a government scheme that can help you get or stay in paid work if you have a physical or mental health condition or disability. ADHD is included in the official guidance.
Depending on your needs, it may help with practical support at work, mental-health support or communication support at a job interview. Specialist coaching may be considered as part of assessed support.
It is not a substitute for your employer's duty to make reasonable adjustments.

You don't need to have everything figured out.
Aged 16 or over
The scheme has eligibility requirements, including where you live and work.
In paid work, or starting soon
Employment and self-employment can qualify. There are rules for starting or returning to work and separate interview support.
ADHD affects your work
Describe your actual needs and barriers rather than trying to prove you struggle in a particular way.
No diagnosis required to apply
The official guidance says you do not need a diagnosis to submit an application.
This is an introduction, not an eligibility decision. The scheme covers England, Scotland and Wales; Northern Ireland has a separate service. Check GOV.UK for the full criteria and any requirements that apply to you.
What coaching can explore
Your brain. Your circumstances. Your next step.
01
Focus & executive function
Understand the patterns behind starting, prioritising and following through — and explore strategies that fit your work.
02
Emotions & confidence
Make sense of overwhelm, self-doubt and emotional responses without treating them as character flaws.
03
Boundaries & communication
Explore how to express your needs, advocate for yourself and discuss reasonable adjustments.
04
A more sustainable working life
Look at the demands, systems and expectations around you, not just what you could do differently.
Coaching goals are agreed individually. These are areas we may explore, not a guaranteed funding package or a promise of specific outcomes.
The funded route
From first conversation to practical support.
Start with fit and availability.
Tell me how ADHD affects your work and what you would like support with. We can discuss whether coaching is appropriate, my availability and the information you may need for your application.
Access to Work funding
Explore the funded option.
For people seeking support through the scheme, and organisations supporting staff to apply. Start with a conversation about coaching, fit and availability.
Private coaching
Want to explore support sooner?
Private coaching is a separate option, subject to availability and fit. We can discuss the cost and arrangements before you decide; an Access to Work application is not required.
Do not assume sessions paid for privately will later be reimbursed by Access to Work.
A few things worth knowing.
Start here
Let's work out what needs to change — and where to begin.
You can ask about coaching before you have all the answers. Tell me about your work, your needs and whether you are exploring funding or private support.
