45 minutes · Live on Zoom · No cost
An honest 45 minutes with a psychiatrist who both treats and coaches ADHD — on what this work actually involves, who it suits, what it pays, and what separates a coach clients keep from one they quietly drift away from.

The session
No slides about mindset. This is the practical picture, from someone who assesses, treats and coaches ADHD every week.
Where it sits alongside therapy, medication and assessment — and, importantly, where it stops. The boundary is the thing most training gets wrong.
Counsellors, teachers, nurses and career-changers all arrive with different gaps. We'll go through what each one needs to close.
What ADHD coaches charge, how long it realistically takes to fill a caseload, and what a part-time practice looks like next to a full-time one.
What to look for in a programme, what the credential landscape actually means, and the questions to ask any provider before you pay.
Why people ask
Coaching a specialism prices differently from general practice. These are typical UK private rates.
General counselling / therapy
£45–50
per hour, typical UK private session
Specialist ADHD coaching
£150–200
per hour, typical UK private session
These are market ranges, not a promise of earnings. What you charge depends on your experience, your niche and your local market — which is exactly the sort of thing worth asking about live.
What makes this different
Which is why so many newly qualified coaches freeze the first time a client’s problem turns out not to be a coaching problem.
Dr Bukhari runs ADHD assessments and manages medication. She knows exactly what titration fixes, what it doesn’t, and what a client is describing when they say the tablets stopped working at four o’clock.
She also coaches. The programme wasn’t theorised — it was built from what actually moved the needle across thousands of ADHD patients, and rebuilt around what didn’t.
Almost nobody occupies both chairs. That overlap is the entire course.
This is not a coaching qualification with ADHD content bolted on the front. It was built backwards — from what genuinely changes the lives of ADHD adults, by someone who has treated them from both sides of the problem.
