Personal Coaching
Personal Coaching can be delivered face to face or on line. It is a process that aims to improve a situation for the individual and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the past or future.

Educational Consultancy
In cases where a young person is not fulfilling their potential or experiencing difficulties in their educational setting, and parents are unsure what provision or interventions should be in place or how to request them, we offer tailored support packages. These include a series of appointments to review the situation, explore next steps, and provide advocacy on your behalf. This may involve accompanying you to school meetings and assessing impact after interventions.
For schools, we offer:
Training sessions for staff, aimed at improving understanding and responses to students’ needs.
A new six-week in-house group mentoring programme for students in Years 7–13, designed to build confidence, support wellbeing, and help learners thrive – See our brochure here
QbCheck
QbCheck is a computer software test that offers an objective measure of the core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, activity and impulsivity. Each participant is then compared to age and gender-matched control groups, with and without ADHD, generating a report on the severity of the individual’s symptoms. This is not a diagnosis but can help either ‘rule in’ or ‘rule out’ ADHD and offer some very specific information that could be helpful in school/work environments, or in relationships, whilst waiting for a formal assessment.
The QbCheck is carried out in a distraction-free environment, under strict conditions to ensure a fair test. Each test is observed by a facilitator. All facilitators have undergone training to administer the test.
There is a significant body of clinical research to support QbCheck’s validity, clinical utility and usefulness in treatment follow-up. For more detailed information, please follow this link:

Workplace Support
If you are employed or run your own business, and you have an ADHD diagnosis you may be entitled to funding for coaching through the government’s ‘Access to Work Scheme – A2W’.
If your condition means that you find your work more challenging than a neurotypical peer, A2W provides practical advice and support to help you overcome these work-related obstacles. It can award grants towards coaching and other provision that can help you develop effective work habits and routines to overcome your ADHD challenges.
In order to access this scheme contact Access to Work by calling: 0345 268 8489 or click www.gov.uk/access-to-work/how-to-claim . You will need evidence of your diagnosis and be prepared to complete some paperwork. If you would like one to one coaching via A2W from The ADD-vantage, you will need to email info@theadd-vantage.co.uk for some further information and a quote to submit to A2W.
