ADHD Therapy and Coaching for Students, Professionals, and Expats

Practical strategies, emotional support, and evidence-based tools to help you navigate ADHD with greater confidence and less overwhelm.

Life with ADHD can be exhausting.

You may feel overwhelmed by deadlines, constantly behind on important tasks, or frustrated that things that seem easy for other people require so much effort from you. Perhaps you're struggling with procrastination, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, or a constant feeling that you're not living up to your own expectations.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

My name is Gabi Maier. I'm an ADHD coach and therapist based in Germany, and I work with students, professionals, parents, and expats who want practical support as well as a deeper understanding of how their minds work.

Together, we'll develop strategies that fit your brain rather than forcing you into systems that were never designed for you. We'll work on organization, motivation, emotional regulation, relationships, and the challenges that may be holding you back from living the life you want.

Why I Do This Work

I have spent more than 15 years as a professor teaching and mentoring students at an American university and have worked with people from many different countries and cultural backgrounds. Having lived in Germany, the United States, Japan, and Denmark, I understand the challenges that come with navigating different educational systems, cultures, and expectations. This is one reason why I particularly enjoy working with international students, expats, and Third Culture Kids.

As the parent of a neurodivergent child, I also know that ADHD affects entire families. Supporting parents and helping families create calmer, more connected relationships is an important part of my work.

How I Can Help

ADHD Therapy

ADHD is about much more than attention and organization. Many people with ADHD also struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety, chronic stress, low self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, impulsivity, or difficulties in relationships.

In therapy, we explore the deeper patterns that may be contributing to these challenges and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions, stress, and life transitions.

My therapeutic work is strongly influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a practical and evidence-based approach that can be particularly helpful for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building a more balanced life. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Learn more

ADHD Coaching

ADHD can affect every area of life—school, university, work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities. Perhaps you struggle with procrastination, time management, organization, motivation, or the constant feeling that you're always trying to catch up.

In coaching, we focus on practical strategies that fit your individual strengths, challenges, and goals. Together, we'll create systems and routines that work with your brain rather than against it.

My goal is not to help you become a different person. It's to help you better understand yourself and build a life that feels more manageable, sustainable, and fulfilling. Learn more

ADHD Parent Training

Parenting a child with ADHD can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming at times. You may find yourself dealing with daily struggles around school, homework, emotional outbursts, routines, friendships, or family conflict. Perhaps you've tried different approaches and advice, yet nothing seems to work consistently. Many parents begin to question themselves and wonder whether they're doing enough to help their child.

You're not alone.

This parent training program is designed to help you better understand your child's ADHD and develop practical strategies that work in real life. Rather than focusing only on challenges, we'll also explore your child's strengths, interests, and unique way of experiencing the world. Learn more

Why People with ADHD Struggle to Relax

After a long day, most of us know what we should do. We should put our phone away, get ready for bed, maybe read a book, take a warm shower, or simply go to sleep. And yet, many of us with ADHD find ourselves doing the exact opposite. We sit down on the couch and start scrolling through social media. We watch one more episode on Netflix. Then another. We fall down a YouTube rabbit hole. And we stay up far later than we intended and we wonder: "Why am I doing this? I'm exhausted."

ADHD and Academic Burnout: When Studying Feels Impossible

You used to care. Maybe you were the student who always pulled things together at the last minute. The one who somehow survived on adrenaline, all-nighters, and sheer determination. Maybe you worked twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up even though nobody realized how much effort it took. But then one day, it stopped working.

When School Becomes Too Much: Understanding School Absenteeism in Neurodivergent Kids

I give quite a few workshops and seminars every year. One of the topics I return to again and again is how neurodivergent kids can be successful in school. And almost without exception, there’s a group of parents sitting in the room who aren’t just looking for “success strategies.” They’re in complete crisis because their children are refusing to go to school.
