LUKE SOMMERLAD

Hi, I’m Luke.

I’m a neurodiversity specialist, executive function, health, nutrition and burnout coach, as well as a trusted mentor to creative minds, freelancers, mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs seeking an all-rounded approach to working with their neurodivergent traits.

Diagnosed with ADHD in 1994, I spent years testing different solutions and finally understood that effectively managing my condition requires a holistic approach. I wanted to offer the help I wish I always had, so I enrolled with the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), a global leader in ADHD training. Since then, I have expanded my expertise by training in executive function coaching, burnout coaching, and professional nutrition and health coaching, as well as understanding autism to support neurodivergent individuals. I’m also currently undergoing psychotherapy training.

Many neurodivergent individuals face challenges with executive function skills like planning, organising, and time management. My diverse professional background and coaching training have equipped me with invaluable skills to work with neurodivergent individuals. With over a decade of experience as a butler, estate manager, and executive assistant to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, combined with over 20 years as a qualified chef, I bring a diverse perspective to my coaching.

In our sessions, we’ll start with an executive skills assessment to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. Whether you have ADHD, Autism, or a combination of conditions, we’ll approach your needs through your lens, and you’ll have a safe space to process your emotions.

I also specialise in working with impostor phenomenon, perfectionism, and rejection sensitivity. Our journey together will encompass all aspects of your life from your environment and relationships to your nervous system, executive functions, and beyond.

Let’s appreciate you for who you are. Together, we’ll work with your brain rather than against it.
