Built by neurodivergent coaches, for the coaches the world needs.
Gold Mind was founded by Alex Campbell and Katie Friedman, two neurodivergent coaches who believe ADHDers, AuDHDers and other neurodivergent people deserve the best support, not the bare minimum.
That belief has grown into an ADHD coach training school with graduates across the UK, Europe, North America, the Middle East, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, taught by a faculty who've lived it themselves. Together we're changing how the world sees ADHD, one coach, one workplace, one conversation at a time.
The Diploma in ADHD-Specialist Coaching
One comprehensive programme. Not a weekend certificate or a bolt-on module, but a full ADHD coach training qualification that takes you from wherever you are now to working as a certified ADHD coach.
You coach yourself before you coach anyone else. That's the part most programmes skip, and it's why our graduates walk into a first client session already knowing what this work feels like from the inside.
Built to sit alongside a demanding role: small cohorts, one live session a week, and time between modules if you need it.

From leadership roles to certified ADHD coaches.
Leaders and professionals who trained alongside demanding roles. Here's what the training did for them.
'It feels like development for me as a person.'
Probably for the first time in nearly 44 years, I'm now starting to get that clarity on what I need and how I can really thrive with ADHD... and that's the power of Gold Mind. It doesn't just feel like development for me as a coach. It feels like development for me as a person.
Lucy DaviesHead of Learning, Heathrow Airport'I don't just know them. I feel them.'
ADHD coach training forced me to learn something, apply it immediately, and get real-time feedback. That has been transformational. Models I used to understand only in theory, now live in me.
RajeefSenior UX Engineer, Google'A course to process and understand yourself.'
It wasn't just a course to learn something, it was a course to process and understand yourself.
Jenny TurnerADHD-Informed Coach'I would never do that unless I was catching a flight.'
It's so effective for learning. I get up at 5:15 in the morning New Zealand time to come and learn. I would never do that unless I was catching a flight. That says a lot.
Lou MortenADHD-Informed Coach'They funded me.'
If you're wondering how to find the time or money, take a second look at your resources. I asked my workplace to support me by showing them the value I could bring to the company after doing this course, and they funded me.
Emma BarkerMediator
'I can barely compare it to anything I've done before.'
I've been leading groups, presenting, lecturing, and training for well over 40 years... The quality of this course has been so high, I can barely compare it to anything I've done before, and that includes formal college training.
Talk to someone who's done it. Twenty minutes with Bex in New Zealand or Alan in the UK. They trained with us, now coach, and will give you a straight answer.

What people ask before they train with us
How much does ADHD coach training with Gold Mind cost?
The Diploma in ADHD-Specialist Coaching costs £8,995 fully online, or £10,195 with Module 3 as an in-person residential in Spain, both plus VAT or GST where it applies. You can spread the cost over up to 12 monthly payments, interest-free, finishing by the end of your final module.
How long does it take, and how much time each week?
Most people complete the Diploma in nine to twelve months, depending on how they space the modules. In Modules 1 and 2 you attend one live 2.5-hour session on Zoom a week, with 30 minutes of audio pre-learning before each one. Module 3 adds weekly coaching practice in a small group.
Can I train alongside my job?
Yes. The Diploma is built for people training alongside a demanding role. Sessions run in the morning or evening UK time, depending on the time of year, and you can take a break between modules.
Is the training accredited?
Yes. The Diploma is accredited at ICF Level 2 and by PAAC. When you graduate, we certify you as an ADHD-specialist coach, and the Diploma covers the training part of your own ICF and PAAC credential applications.
Do I need to be ADHD myself?
No. Some of our students identify as neurotypical, and the learning is just as rich for them.
I've already done coach training. Is this still for me?
Plenty of our students arrive already qualified. What they come for is the neurodivergent lens and the specific approach to coaching ADHD clients, and they tell us Modules 1 and 2 are where the depth comes from.
