ADHD Answers
A stepwise approach to helping your ADHD clients thrive by leading global ADHD expert, Dr Judith Mohring.
ADHD is deceptively complex, even for specialists to understand. As a therapist, coach clinician or other helping professional you need a clear mental map of what ADHD actually is, in order to be able to support your clients well. This course translates the neuroscience into simple terms to help you help your clients better.

"As a graduate of Judith’s ADHD Answers course I can highly recommend her teaching. She makes the neuroscience simple, yet accessible. If you’re a clinician the course is really worthwhile."
"It’s very rare that I do a training that meets my needs and matches my level of experience. I’ve been using loads of materials from the course: the feelings wheel, Name it to tame it, holding less in working memory - it’s all brilliant!”

"I ran a workshop yesterday and was told just before starting that one of the attendees had quite profound ADHD, I was able to put my course learning in action. Made my day easier, his day easier and also benefited the rest of the group!"

Did you know?
ADHD is common: 3% of adults have a full diagnosis and 6% have traits
It is likely that many of your clients have ADHD even where it not their main presenting issue
In some cases neurotypical therapy can actually make things worse
ADHD is a form of neurodiversity, which increases the risk of mental illness
If you don’t have the right information and training your therapy is likely to be ineffective
Simple things make a big difference to adults with ADHD, but you need to know what they are and how to get your client to hold onto them, in order to help them
Don’t miss out on enhancing your practice, improving your confidence and delivering better outcomes for your clients.
You know what’s in your therapy toolbox and you know the skills you like to teach and techniques you use.
But are you confident to apply these when a client has ADHD?
There must be a way to use the skills you already have in a different way?
So how can you adapt your approach in one to one work to ensure that you’re meeting your clients needs?
Two years ago I decided to adapt my coaching and therapy practice to support adults with ADHD. I already had a busy clinic and I was an expert training doctors in the diagnosis and management of ADHD for UKAAN.
But, despite knowing loads about ADHD I didn’t have a “map” in my head of how to help clients, and what would work when and why.
A year later ADHD Answers was born, I read all the books I could get my hands on, researched different therapeutic techniques and spoke to all the experts in my network.
My ADHD story
I was diagnosed with ADHD around 7 years ago after a tricky time in midlife. It wasn’t a surprise, but it was slightly hard to get my head around. For a long time I was ashamed and embarrassed to talk about it, but now I’m out and proud. A big part of my recovery was trying out a really broad range of support, from psychoeducation to mindfulness, via cold water swimming, coaching, CBT, IFS, integrative psychotherapy, nature connection and group therapy. I wrote ADHD Answers in large part because I wanted a map for myself, and I wanted to share my unique professional and personal experience with others, so they can help themselves and others better.
The evidence base for traditional one to one therapy for ADHD isn’t great, so you’re likely to need more than one approach, and that’s ok. When working with ADHD you’re going to need all the tools in the toolshed, not just a single toolkit. And that’s what we teach in ADHD Answers, how to enrich your toolkit to meet your clients where they are at.
Unlike mental health conditions often your ADHD client isn’t ill, they’re just struggling with something which is causing them distress.
And the way you help them has to adapt because people with ADHD struggle with:
-
Concentration
-
Memory
-
Focus
-
Learning
So, unless you make your one to one sessions pretty memorable, or learn how your client learns, you will waste both your time and theirs.
ADHD work is often about tensions: between the need for structure and the need for novelty, the need for boundaries and the need for flexibility. Working with that takes us outside our usual frameworks and we need to know why we’re doing that and when to say no, and stick to a structure we’ve established. We’re mirroring in this the struggles our clients go through and modelling holding a frame and also relaxing that frame when needed.
When I wanted to learn about the best approach to ADHD, beyond medication there wasn’t a clear path I could follow or a course to go on. Lots of people have adapted therapies like IFS, Mindfulness, CBT, coaching and even DBT for ADHD but no one had started at the beginning and asked- what does neuroscience tell us we’re dealing with here? Why would we choose to work on cognition rather than emotion, or executive function before mindfulness. I wanted to know very clearly what I was working with, what the science said was different, to support drawing the map, and the route I was planning to take.
I have walked every step of this path personally, from ADHD burnout to rest, mindfulness, lifestyle psychiatry, nature connection, group work, psychoeducation, IFS and individual therapy. And now I guide others on this path, and we walk it together, both one to one and in groups. My group programme is called ARC and it’s for adults with ADHD who want to work on themselves, ADHD answers is for those who work with ADHD clients.
Hear from our previous attendees
“I’ve attended Judith’s ADHD Answers course twice, and each time I’ve taken something different and valuable away. The first round felt incredibly supportive and personal – the group atmosphere was compassionate, warm, and full of shared lived experience that brought the material to life. The second time, Judith’s delivery had an even greater sense of flow and clarity, and the course had developed into something more structured and academic, which professionals could immediately apply in their own work."
Previous Attendee
"What really stands out is the way Judith teaches complex neuroscience in such memorable, metaphor-rich ways – tides, puppies, floating in the ocean. These metaphors stick, and participants were able to use them straight away in daily life. I’ve seen people walk away with tools they could immediately put into practice, whether that was noticing their “tide” and pausing, or finding playful, embodied ways to regulate."
Previous Attendee
"The generosity of the course is also striking: it’s full of ideas and approaches, but without pressure. Everyone is invited to take what resonates. Judith holds space with such presence and ease – attentive, responsive, and deeply grounded – which allows people to relax, absorb, and reflect."
Previous Attendee
"Personally, the course has not only enriched my understanding of ADHD and shaped how I support clients, but it’s also given me metaphors and frameworks that I now carry into my assessments and therapy sessions. I genuinely learned more from Judith’s teaching than I did on larger professional trainings. The combination of science, metaphor, and human connection makes ADHD Answers unique – and deeply impactful.”

ADHD Answers: Curriculum
Session 1: ADHD is Tidal
This session is all about neurotransmitters. Both noradrenaline and dopamine are dysregulated in ADHD which makes the experience of ADHD like being caught up in a tide which is either far out, or rushing in.
Managing this in session for clients includes: Pacing, Slowing down and speeding up.
Session 2: ADHD is NUTS
This session is all about natural biohacking using stress to raise noradrenaline and enhance focus. Many successful ADHDers are caught in patterns of stress and burnout. Stress is predictably caused by four things: with the acronym NUTS, and this causes common patterns of behaviour. Understanding and recognising these patterns and the science which underlies them, helps us manage better.
Session 3: The Pez & The Piñata
In session three we dig into dopamine and its many roles. We’re looking at learning, reward and hyperfocus. We explore how difficulty with learning and focus can ruin the impact of therapy, as sessions are just forgotten unless they’re rewarding. We’ll also look at hyperfocus and the overlap with flow, and how hyperfocus can be both a strength and a struggle in ADHD.
Session 4: The Puppy & The Path
Now we come to learn about brain networks, and how energy is switched between three areas in the triple network model. We’ll think about the default mode network which, like a puppy, exists to explore, be creative, curious, intuitive and adaptable, but has trouble sticking to the path.
Session 5: Executive Function & Following The Path
The path of executive function sits in the most advanced and modern areas of the brain. It’s clever, but it's fragile and like a canary in the coalmine, dysregulation elsewhere in the brain and body causes executive function to go awry. We look at how executive function underpins everything from self awareness to emotion regulation and how simple things can help support it.
Session 6: Training the Brain to Switch from Puppy to Path & Back Again
In the triple network model the third part is the salience network. This is highly tuned to emotion and easily triggered for many with ADHD, leading to emotional dysregulation. There are simple things we can do to fine tune the switch and enhance our ability to bring the puppy back to the path, and get things done.
