The significance of being a certified ADHD Coach

ADHD coaching is unregulated. Anyone can call themselves an ADHD coach.

I’ve just been credentialed by the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches (PAAC) - the only ADHD-specific accrediting body, as 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 (𝐂𝐀𝐂𝐏).

I’m currently:
🔸the first and only in Singapore
🔸one of three in Asia
🔸among fewer than 200 globally

This is about demonstrating accountability to my ADHD-impacted clients.
Because ADHD coaching is a profession with integrity.

PAAC didn’t “certify” me for attending a course.
They credentialed me for how I actually coach in practice - through an ADHD lens, ethically, and competently.

To earn this, I didn’t just learn ADHD.
I was assessed - rigorously - on my real coaching in action.

‘Rigorously’ means:
🎾116 hours of training and certification through ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), one of the only two ADHD coach training institutions accredited by PAAC

🏑Having one pre-recorded unedited coaching session assessed

🏓Logging 60 hours of paid ADHD coaching

🥍Passing structured modules with quiz covering ADHD traits, executive functioning, strategies, ethics, and assistive technologies

🎳Observations of 5 recorded coaching sessions provided by PAAC

Every one of these requirements exists because ADHD coaching done poorly can do harm.

Done well, it helps ADHDers stop fighting their brains and start working with them.

I work alongside rising leaders with ADHD - the ones rewriting what leadership looks like when your brain doesn't work in straight lines -

And I want what I bring to be not just intuitive.
But skilled, tested, and accountable.

If willpower was the answer to ADHD challenges, you’d have solved this a long time ago.

You deserve a coach who doesn’t default to “try harder” but brings her rigorous training and niche clarity to meet you where you are, and build from there. Alongside you.

As a PAAC-certified ADHD Coach Practitioner, a Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, backed by more than a decade of leadership experience, this is my commitment to you.

I don’t usually seek credentials, except meaningful ones like this.

And yes - the unorthodox, quirky spirit stays! 👻
Sharp lens. Rigorous training.
Still deeply human.

That's the whole point.
