Leila Okonkwo
Lead tutor, ADHD Coaching
9 years in practice
- PCC (ICF)
- ADHD coaching supervision (completed)
Leila has coached diagnosed adults with ADHD for nine years, after a first career in workplace learning. She is blunt about the line: coaches do not diagnose, do not prescribe, and do not replace a psychiatrist or an ADHD clinic. She teaches the Guild's ADHD programme because most cheap diplomas skip that line, and she marks recordings against it.
What does Leila Okonkwo teach at The Study Guild?
Leila leads ADHD Coaching Practitioner. She teaches live, reviews recorded sessions, and marks two assessments covering contracting, executive-function coaching and referral when a client needs clinical assessment or crisis support. A pass does not licence diagnosis. She will fail work that implies it does.
What is Leila Okonkwo's background with ADHD?
Leila has coached adults with an existing ADHD diagnosis for nine years and holds an ICF PCC credential. She is not a clinician and does not present as one. Her practice sits alongside medication and NHS or private assessment pathways, which is the arrangement she trains others to keep.
Will Leila Okonkwo teach you to diagnose ADHD?
No. Diagnosis is a clinical process. The programme teaches you to work with people who already have a diagnosis or who are seeking one, and to refer rather than speculate. Anyone who wanted a diagnostic right should not enrol here, and she will say that in week one.
