ADHD Children's Coach
London
My name's Ben Isaacson and welcome to ADHD Confident! I’m a certified ADHD Children's Coach with training from ADD Coach Academy; one of only two ‘ADHD Coach’ training providers to be fully accredited by the International Coaching Federation. I’m also a qualified teacher having graduated in 2015 from the UCL Institute of Education. Given my own ADHD, I know how to engage other ADHDers, which is why I love working with children. I’ve tailored my coaching practice specifically with this in mind.​​
Before coaching I worked as a mainstream school teacher for SEN pupils. As someone with ADHD, I realised that so many young ADHDers simply don't get the individual support they need to meet their academic potential. Having a TA in the classroom simply isn't enough. as the challenges of ADHD go far deeper than just the classroom. ADHD touches every part of a child's world: their confidence, friendships, home life, and sense of identity. I wanted to make a bigger difference, which is why I left the classroom to focus on ADHD coaching full-time.​​
My own experience as a child with ADHD caused me setbacks in my confidence, friendships, at school and with my family. This was made much worse as my behaviour was wholly misunderstood. I understand how ADHD works and the harmful cycle of negativity it can cause from a young age.
​
My coaching philosophy focusses on developing a relationship that helps your child get clearer about their ADHD, what’s holding them back in life and the changes needed to help them get to where they want to be. I empower children with the confidence for everyday situations, be it at school, at home or among their friends. Most importantly, I will be your child’s very own personal cheerleader, celebrating their wins week in week out!​​​
My practice is based in North West London, where I see clients face to face or by video call. When I'm not coaching, I love spending time outdoors, cooking, travelling and immersing myself in the world of wildlife documentaries and podcasts.​
