About ADCBEF Coaching

Get To Know a Coach

The search for evidence based, accessible coaching services can feel endless in Australia. Nobody knows this better than our Head Coach, Jim. 

​

Jim was diagnosed with ADHD at 8 years old. His report cards are filled with comments about attention, distraction, calling out, and underachievement. The consensus was clear- gifted, but unable to fulfil his potential.

His parents had not known what to do, and had been misinformed about the best way to manage it.

The diagnosis had been withheld from his teachers, and himself. 

​

Recognising that his circumstances were not his fault- Jim still saw them as his responsibility. Not content with blaming a past he had no control over, He focused on what he could do to improve his life. 

He became a  staunch advocate (and patient) of the mental health industry in Australia. Now, Jim is ready to share his knowledge and experience with clients, and Sessions of his CBT-Based Coaching can be booked by a link on this page.

Clients who wish to get a head start on their sessions would do well to look into CBT. Studies have shown that having a basic understanding of the process, and a willingness to engage with it, yield significantly improved results over a shorter period.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago... the second best time is today. 

NOTE: Coaching is NOT Psychology or Psychiatry. Clients of ADCBEF can expect an evidence based, future facing approach. Specific Goals and Acute Problems are key benchmarks of Coaching. This is not a diagnosing service. Maintaining progress and minimising backslides can be a significant challenge for individuals with ADHD. They may face difficulties in consistently applying the skills they learned in psychotherapy over time, especially when faced with new or challenging situations.

Developing a Coaching plan and providing ongoing support through our Coaching services helps individuals stay on track and sustain or improve upon the progress made during therapy.
