About me
I work mainly with adults and young people with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, particularly people who are struggling at work or university, feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, or trying to make sense of a diagnosis later in life. I also work with parents and families who are trying to understand and support a neurodivergent family member.
My coaching is practical and individual. I don't start with the assumption that you need to become more organised, productive or "normal". We look at what is actually getting in your way, why it keeps happening, and find ways of working that fit you rather than continually fighting against yourself.
People come to me with things such as procrastination, overwhelm, executive functioning difficulties, emotional regulation, confidence, work problems, burnout, and the feeling that they should somehow be coping better than they are.
I offer 1:1 coaching online across the UK and face-to-face in Northumberland and the North East. I also provide workplace coaching, including coaching funded through Access to Work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an AoEC qualified Executive Coach and an ADHD Works trained ADHD coach. I also hold an NCFE Level 2 qualification in Understanding Autism and am a member of the Association for Coaching.
I work with neurodivergent adults from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds, including people diagnosed later in life, people experiencing burnout, university students and people receiving workplace support or coaching funded through Access to Work.
Before becoming a coach, I spent many years working in senior technology and leadership roles, including within higher education. That experience gives me a good understanding of the realities of working in complex organisations, managing people and trying to perform well when the way you work doesn't always fit the environment around you.

Further information
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want from coaching. In fact, "I know something isn't working, but I don't know what to do about it" is a perfectly reasonable place to start.
I offer a free 30-minute initial conversation so we can talk about what is happening and whether working together feels right.
Sessions are available online throughout the UK and face-to-face in Northumberland and the North East. Access to Work funding can sometimes cover ADHD coaching for people who are employed or self-employed.
Face-to-face sessions don’t have to mean sitting in a room. If you prefer, we can also meet for a walk-and-talk coaching session.
