How Coaching Helps ADHD Writers Create Their Best Work

Your ADHD brain isn’t broken—it just works differently. That’s why trying to fit into neurotypical writing and productivity systems feels exhausting.

Most writing advice wasn’t built for ADHD brains. It doesn’t account for how you manage energy, motivation, ideas, distractions, or the emotional ups and downs of the creative process. No wonder it feels like you’re “doing everything right” and still getting nowhere.

That’s where ADHD-focused writing coaching is different. Instead of one-size-fits-all advice, you get support tailored to your brain and your goals. Together, we’ll:

  • Turn scattered efforts into routines that work

  • Turn endless “trying harder” into real progress

  • Transform self-criticism into pride and confidence in your work

At Creative Thrive, you’re not doing this alone. You’ll work with an ADHD writing coach who has ADHD, holds a PhD in psychology, and is completing training toward Board Certified Coach credential—someone who truly understands what it’s like to struggle with focus, overwhelm, and creative roadblocks.

I’ll help you untangle the patterns that keep you stuck and guide you in curating tools and strategies that actually fit the way your brain works—so you can get out of your head and back on the page.

Instead of forcing yourself into systems that drain you, you’ll learn to build a writing practice that feels truly supportive, aligned, and sustainable—one that leans into your strengths, grows with you, and lets you write with momentum, confidence, and ease. No burnout lurking around the corner.

If you’ve been craving a way of writing that finally feels like you, coaching can help you get there.

Read on to see exactly what that support looks like when we work together…

What you’ll receive during our time together:

✧ Structure and accountability tailored to how you work best

✧ Brain-friendly tools for breaking down overwhelming projects

✧ Support for managing idea overload and decision paralysis

✧ Strategies to quiet perfectionism and self-doubt

✧ Trauma-informed guidance that honors your complete story

Most importantly… you'll build a writing practice that feels natural, not forced—one that leads to finished projects and renewed creative joy

You don't have to figure this out alone. I also have ADHD and know this struggle intimately. As a writer with a psychology PhD focused in cognitive-behavioral neuroscience, I bring both lived experience and research-backed tools to meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to be.

Before working with me

What’s happening now…

❌ You're constantly stuck in start-stop cycles, unsure how to get back into your writing rhythm

❌ You're worried that a “traditional” coach or editor won’t get your voice — or might try to change it

❌ You’re juggling 100 ideas but struggling to follow through on even one

❌ You’re tired of trying to write the “right” way instead of the way your brain actually works

❌ You’ve made progress — but feel stuck, unsure how to keep the momentum going without burning out

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you're not broken. You just need support that understands how your brain actually works.
