Question 1

What is ADHD coaching and how is it different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

ADHD coaching is a forward-focused, practical partnership designed to help you understand how your ADHD brain works and build real strategies around it. Therapy focuses on healing and psychological insight. Coaching focuses on where you want to go, what is getting in the way, and how to move forward. Many clients work with both a therapist and an ADHD coach simultaneously.

Question 2

How much does ADHD coaching at Sanctuum cost?

Accepted Answer

Sanctuum offers coaching packages rather than one-off sessions. Pricing is discussed during your complimentary discovery call, where we find the right fit for your needs and budget. Discovery calls are always free.

Question 3

Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis to work with Sanctuum?

Accepted Answer

No. Many clients come with a formal diagnosis, others are self-identified, awaiting assessment, or simply know their brain works differently. A diagnosis does not change how we work together.

Question 4

Is ADHD coaching available online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sanctuum offers virtual ADHD coaching worldwide, serving clients in the United States, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. In-person sessions are available in Newport Beach, California.

Question 5

What does an ADHD coaching session look like?

Accepted Answer

Every session is client-led. You bring the topic, and from there we explore what is going on, identify what your brain needs, and build practical, personalised strategies. Sessions are typically 50 minutes via video call or in-person in Newport Beach.

Question 6

Who is Carli Derifield?

Accepted Answer

Carli is the founder of Sanctuum and a certified ADHD and Executive Function Coach. She holds a BSc in Applied Psychology, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and specialised training in ADHD coaching. She was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood and spent fifteen years in corporate environments before founding Sanctuum.

Question 7

How do I get started with Sanctuum?

Accepted Answer

Book a free discovery call — a relaxed, no-pressure 20-minute conversation where we explore whether Sanctuum is the right fit. If it is, we agree on a coaching package and begin. The intake process is designed to be ADHD-friendly.

Question 8

Does Sanctuum support medicated and unmedicated clients?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Sanctuum works with clients who are medicated, exploring medication options, or choosing a non-medicated path. Medication is not within the scope of coaching — for medication questions, we encourage clients to work with a qualified psychiatrist or physician.
