This is the self-paced online course designed specifically for partner's of someone with ADHD.
This course is based on my book 'Loving ADHD: A Partner's Guide to Self-Care, Understanding, and Communication', but, in much more detail.
You do not have had to have read the book to start this course.
This course was created specifically for YOU - the often-forgotten partner of someone with ADHD. While there are many resources for people with ADHD, there are far fewer for the partners who love them, support them, and sometimes struggle alongside them.
This Course IS:
For You. Your needs and your well-being, Your experience matter just as much as your partner's.
About understanding ADHD so you can work with your partner's brain instead of against it.
Practical and actionable. Every module includes tools you can use immediately.
Collaborative. Many exercises are designed for you and your partner to do together.
Realistic. We acknowledge the real challenges while also recognising the strengths and possibilities.
Supportive. You're not alone. You have access to me and to a community of people who understand.
This Course Is NOT:
About ‘fixing’ your partner (they're not broken).
All your responsibility (your partner needs to meet you halfway).
A magic solution (real change takes time and effort).
About making excuses for unacceptable behaviour (understanding doesn't mean accepting everything).
Going to solve every problem (but it will give you tools to address them).
Self-Care and Support. You'll learn:
Why your needs matter and how to honour them
How to manage difficult emotions (frustration, resentment, isolation, guilt)
How to set healthy boundaries and build your support system
How to prevent burnout and sustain your well-being
How to create a more equal partnership
How to rediscover joy in your relationship
Why this matters: You can't support your partner or your relationship if you're depleted. We start with you.
Understanding ADHD. You'll learn:
The neuroscience of ADHD (how the brain actually works differently)
Executive functions and why they're so challenging
Emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity
Why people with ADHD mask and what it costs them
The most common frustration triggers and their neurological roots
How to stop taking things personally
The genuine strengths that come with ADHD
Why this matters: When you understand WHY your partner behaves the way they do, everything changes. Frustration shifts to compassion. Blame shifts to problem-solving.
Communication Strategies. You'll learn:
Why standard communication doesn't always work with ADHD
The pre-conversation check-in (game-changer!)
Active listening techniques for ADHD relationships
How to express your needs clearly and directly
How to navigate conflict without destruction
How to manage interruptions collaboratively
How to repair after difficult moments
How to create sustainable systems (memory, tasks, organization)
How to build a truly collaborative partnership
Why this matters: All the understanding in the world doesn't help if you can't communicate effectively. These are the practical tools that make daily life work better.
Course Structure: 8 Modules over 8 Weeks
Each module includes:
Multiple short videos (5-10 minutes each) covering key concepts.
A comprehensive workbook with exercises, reflection questions, and homework.
Daily practices (small, manageable activities to integrate what you're learning).
Weekly homework (practical application of the concepts).
Partner exercises (where appropriate) to do together.
Week-by-Week Approach
Complete one module per week for 8 weeks. This gives you time to:
Watch the videos
Reflect on the content
Complete the exercises
Practice the skills
Integrate the learning
Why pace matters
Real change takes time. Rushing through won't give you the same results as taking time to practice and integrate each week's material.
If you need flexibility
Life happens. If you miss a week, just pick up where you left off. The course is self-paced, so you can take longer if needed.
You Have Access To:
Online Community
Forum for course participants.
Share experiences and insights.
Ask questions and get support
Connect with others who understand.
Me - Your Coach
I will also involve myself with the online community.
You also can book a free discovery call if you feel you, or your partner, would like to explore 1:1 coaching.
Resource Library
Additional articles and resources.
Recommended books and websites.
Tools and templates.
Ongoing updates
Commit to the Process
Make this a priority. Block time in your calendar. Treat it like any other important appointment.
Complete one module before moving to the next. Don't skip ahead. Each module builds on the previous ones.
Do the homework. The practices are where real change happens.
Be Patient with Yourself
You won't be perfect. You'll forget to use a technique. You'll react in old ways. That's normal.
Progress isn't linear. Some weeks will feel like breakthroughs. Others will feel hard. Both are part of growth.
Be kind to yourself. You're learning new skills while dealing with real challenges. That's hard work.
Stay Open
What you learn might challenge your assumptions. That's good. Growth happens when we're willing to see things differently.
Some concepts might feel uncomfortable. Sit with the discomfort. Often, the most uncomfortable lessons are the most valuable.
Your perspective will shift. You might see your partner, and yourself, differently by the end. Welcome that change.
Engage with the Community
You're not alone. Other partners are taking this course too. Connect with them.
Share your experiences. What's working? What's challenging? Your insights help others.
Ask questions. If something isn't clear, ask. If you're stuck, reach out.
Offer support. When you see someone struggling, offer encouragement. We're all in this together.
Involve Your Partner (When Appropriate)
Share what you're learning. "I learned something interesting today about how ADHD affects..."
Invite them to partner exercises. "There's an exercise I'd like us to do together. Do you have 20 minutes this week?"
Watch videos together. Some couples find it helpful to watch the videos together.
Respect their readiness. If your partner isn't ready to engage, that's okay. Focus on what YOU can do.
Q: What if I can't complete a module in one week?
A: That's fine! The course is self-paced. Take all the time you need. Just try not to rush through - integration matters more than speed.
Q: What if my partner won't participate?
A: You can still benefit enormously. Focus on what YOU can control: your understanding, your responses, your well-being, your communication. Many partners have seen relationship improvements even when their partner wasn't directly engaged with the course.
Q: What if I've already learned about ADHD - should I skip those modules?
A: I'd encourage you to watch the videos anyway. You might learn something new, or it might reframe what you already know. Plus, the exercises are valuable even if the concepts are familiar.
Q: What if I get overwhelmed?
A: Reach out! Use your support network and the community. Take a break if needed. This material can bring up difficult emotions. That's normal. Be gentle with yourself. If you need additional support, consider contacting me or working with a therapist alongside this course.
Q: Should I tell my partner I'm taking this course?
A: That's up to you. Some partners find it helpful to be transparent: "I'm taking a course to help me understand ADHD better and support our relationship." Others prefer to learn first and share later. Do what feels right for you.
Q: What if things get worse before they get better?
A: This can happen. As you start setting boundaries, expressing needs more clearly, or changing relationship dynamics, there may be temporary discomfort. That's often part of growth. Stick with it. But if things become unsafe or unworkable, seek professional help.
Q: How long do I have access to the course?
A: You have lifetime access, so you can revisit it as and when you feel you need to.
Q: Can I retake the course or review materials later?
A: Absolutely! Many people find value in going through the course multiple times. Come back to modules whenever you need a refresher.
