Are you struggling to come to terms with an ADHD diagnosis or still waiting for diagnosis? Knowing you have ADHD opens up opportunities for change and growth. Finally you can work with who you really are and not who you feel you should be. As a trained ADHD coach I can guide and empower you to see your way forward. Coaching can help you discover your strengths and abilities and how to play to them. You'll learn about your brain’s unique wiring and capabilities and develop strategies for success.
You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, caught up in a vortex of possibilities but unable to make a decision. Problem solving, paying attention and concentrating are often difficult or impossible for you. Perhaps you’ve read books on how to ‘deal with’ ADHD or listened to podcasts, but the ideas and methods you find there don’t work for you or don’t give the lasting change that you want.
I can guide you towards achieving real, lasting and effective change in your life.
Together we can create life and work strategies designed for the way your mind works.
You’ll stop feeling stuck and be empowered to move forward.
You can break the cycle of burnout and recovery and stop underachieving.
Finally you can feel energised, focused, confident and excited about doing what you love.
Poorly developed executive function is a big issue for most people with ADHD. It’s the air traffic control of daily life, without it you can’t grow and thrive. It can lead to recurring problems at work or in education, difficulties with managing money and with relationships of all types. Lack of organisation, being impulsive and having poor timekeeping can all be improved with coaching. Learn to implement structure and routine and also notice where you are being too hard on yourself. Learning self-compassion is something that clients benefit hugely from.
Coaching is an investment in yourself and your future. My Zoom coaching sessions are safe, confidential, non-judgmental spaces where you will be heard, understood and can express yourself. I assist people in transforming their lives and realising their dreams and ambitions. Move towards an understanding of how to thrive with ADHD and feel less stress and anxiety.
I have worked in the construction industry, IT and middle management. I know first hand how it feels to navigate tertiary education and the world of work when you have ADHD.
I welcome clients with ADHD, those awaiting diagnosis and those with a dual diagnosis (AuDHD) who are autistic and have ADHD.
I have completed specialised ADHD coach training with ADDCA - the ADD Coach Academy, based in New York. The training is fully accredited by the ICF and PAAC (AACTP).
I also hold a Diploma in Life Coaching from Newcastle College and have completed training as a Mental Health First Aider.
It really IS possible to
• Stop feeling overwhelmed by the scope of your responsibility and accountability, and paralysed with indecision.
• Inspire and lead your your team without being constantly exhausted and overwhelmed.
• Harness your ADHD strengths and use the weaknesses to your advantage to stand out as a word-class senior leader (and blaze a trail for workplace neurodiversity and authentic leadership in the process).
At senior levels, your higher profile means mistakes are more likely to be noticed or even damaging. The stakes are a lot higher, and that can be scary. Especially when the strategies that helped you compensate for your ADHD traits before suddenly seem less effective.
As a high-achieving woman with ADHD myself, I know that those very traits that worth you now can actually transform your work and career. There’s a reason so many of the best entrepreneurs and CEOs have ADHD.
Let’s talk about how I can help you feel confident and excited at work and use your talents not only to achieve your goals, but to inspire and lead your team—and your organisation— to greatness too.
Throughout the coaching process, all clients will learn to pay attention to the ways ADHD shows up in their life and develop their own ‘strength based’ strategies to cope with it. Together, we will strip away the negative narrative of your life and replace it with success, one step at a time.
My coaching sessions last 50 minutes on Zoom, cost £60 and are bookable online.
