Cath Kelly ACC
Teen ADHD Coach & Parent Coach, Cognitive Keys Coaching
I am a certified ICF coach with ADHD coach training, and I am passionate about helping neurodivergent young people overcome their challenges, find their keys to success, and thrive at school and in life.
An educator of 20+ years, my coaching is positive and strengths-based, helping each young person to:
- understand how their ADHD brain works,
- recognise and leverage the advantages of ADHD, as well as addressing its challenges,
- discover their strengths and develop positive self-talk to rebuild their confidence,
- learn strategies and implement systems that work successfully for their unique brain, and
- develop the life and study skills they need for success at school, college and beyond.
In this way, I empower each young person to strengthen their self-belief, achieve success and feel capable of creating a future of which they can be proud.
I also understand how ADHD can affect families. As a mum to two teens with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can feel when your child is struggling: the worry, the frustration, and the uncertainty about what will really help. That’s why my parent coaching combines empathy and understanding, with practical, evidence-based strategies for parenting neurodivergent children and teens.
I partner with parents to help them:
- strengthen connection with their child at any age,
- create calmer communication – even through the turbulent teenage years,
- reduce family stress through embracing collaboration, and
- build a supportive home environment where children and teens can grow in confidence and independence.
