I’m Diane O’Reilly, an ADHD and addiction recovery coach based in Toronto, working online with clients across Canada, the US and the UK. I’ve been in recovery for 35 years and was diagnosed with ADHD at 43, so I know from the inside how tangled the two can get.

I’ve been coaching since 2009 (over 5,000 hours) and hold the ACG, CCRC and RCP credentials. I work with adults with ADHD, people in recovery who sense something is still holding them back, and families supporting a loved one, using CRAFT.

My approach starts from one belief: all behaviour makes sense. When we get curious about the need underneath instead of judging it, the shame starts to fall away and real change becomes possible. I bring warmth and an earthy sense of humour to the work, which helps when we’re facing the hard stuff.
