SUMMARY:Leaning Into ADHD: A Warm\, Strengths-Based Path for Adults & Parents
DESCRIPTION:Living with ADHD – or loving someone who has it – can feel exhausting. Many adults and parents spend years trying to stay one step ahead of it: correcting\, compensating\, pushing harder\, or quietly wondering why everyday life seems to take so much effort. This workshop offers a gentler\, more supportive way forward. \nInstead of trying to outrun ADHD\, we’ll explore what it means to slow down\, understand it\, and lean into it – with curiosity\, compassion\, and respect for how ADHD brains are wired. \nThis workshop with new exercises every month is designed for adults with ADHD and parents raising children with ADHD\, and it recognises that ADHD shows up differently at every age\, yet carries many of the same emotional experiences: frustration\, overwhelm\, shame\, and also creativity\, empathy\, humour\, and resilience. Together\, we’ll look at ADHD not as something that needs to be fixed\, but as a difference that benefits from the right kind of support. \nThrough stories\, reflection\, and practical reframes\, participants will learn how many ADHD challenges are not signs of failure\, but signals – cues that the environment\, expectations\, or supports need adjusting. We’ll focus on creating spaces where ADHD strengths can show up more easily\, and where both adults and children feel understood rather than constantly corrected. \nThis workshop also makes room for the emotional side of ADHD – the grief\, the worry\, the self-doubt\, and the deep desire to “get it right.” Parents and adults alike will be invited to replace pressure with partnership\, and criticism with connection. \nIn This Workshop\, You Can Expect To: \nFeel seen\, understood\, and less alone \nLearn a compassionate\, strengths-based way to understand ADHD \nDiscover how ADHD traits can be supported rather than suppressed \nExplore ways to reduce daily friction at home\, school\, and work \nBuild language that nurtures confidence instead of shame \nPractice responding with curiosity – to yourself and to your child \nWho This Workshop Is For: \nAdults living with ADHD (diagnosed or self-identified) \nParents and caregivers of children or teens with ADHD \nParents who recognise ADHD traits in themselves through their child \nAnyone wanting a more creative and hopeful way to support ADHD brains \nThings to bring/materials required: No equipment needed. Please come as you are \nDate of event: Monday\, 13 April 2026 \nTime: 9.30 am-11.30 am \nCost: £15 \nNo of places 10 \nWe never want cost to prevent anyone from attending our events\, so please reach out to the class practitioner if you require a subsidised ticket \nBiography: \nHi\, I’m Xanthe — an accredited ADHD coach (ADDCA) with a background in working alongside both adults and young people since 1998. \nI work with clients of all ages\, offering coaching that’s grounded in experience\, empathy\, and neurodivergent insight. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult (ADHD and Autism)\, I understand the value of creating spaces that are compassionate\, understanding\, and above all — celebratory of the unique ways our minds work. \nFor more information\, please reach out to me or check out my website at www.squigglyminds.co.uk
