About me
I'm a neurodivergent ADHD coach who knows what it's like to feel scattered, overwhelmed and quietly convinced you're the problem. I work with late- and self-diagnosed adults to help you understand how your brain actually works — so you can stop apologising for it, build strategies that fit you, and finally show up as yourself.
If life feels like an uphill struggle, you are not alone.
There are many midlife adults with ADHD who appear to have it all together. It’s part of the reason we’ve lived so long without getting diagnosed.
But behind the scenes, life feels chaotic or we’re on the verge of burnout.
You might be:
- fighting procrastination and overwhelm, no matter what you try
- overcommitting and under-delivering
- burnt out trying to meet expectations
- on a performance review at work, or…
- gonna quit before they see how much you’re struggling
- doubting your diagnosis, while feeling like your symptoms are getting worse
I understand what’s confronting you.
You’ve tried a million different systems to help you prioritise and focus better. But they never seem to stick.
With the added responsibilities and challenges that come with middle age, life is feeling harder than ever.
You thought understanding about ADHD would make things easier. But turns out there’s no one-size-fits-all manual for operating your unique ADHD brain.
Despite everything you’ve learned, you’re still failing to thrive.
You need to find a way to work with your brain and within your limits.
You’re curious about ADHD coaching – but worry it’s gonna be someone telling you to do things you know won’t work.
You want a science-backed approach that's tailored to you.
We'll re-examine your life through an ADHD lens. This starts with acknowledging that you’re navigating a world that was not designed for neurodivergent brains. We'll reflect on the stories you and others told about your life before you knew about your difference. We'll reframe your challenges using psychological concepts and scientific models. Then we'll craft a powerful new narrative together.
Over a programme of weekly coaching sessions, you’ll learn how to make the most of your interest-led brain and how to better regulate your emotions. You will develop a habit of noticing and celebrating your strengths, so you can be intentional about how and when you want to use them. All this will give you the confidence to advocate for your needs and help you cultivate a more positive inner voice and outlook.
Together, we create tangible, sustainable change.
As part of a systemic approach, we consider how your executive function, emotional regulation, and intersectionality come into play. We explore how your behaviour changes across your family, social, and work environments. Then we look at how all these parts – these systems – work together.
We’ll start to see patterns—for example, how certain emotional states affect your focus. We’ll notice interdependencies—like how high demand helps you activate, but only when you’re well rested.
We’ll discover which blend of inputs, relationships and interactions result in the behaviours and outcomes you desire. This intelligence will give you a choice of levers for you to pull to affect the change you need.
While working with me, you'll:
- Feel validated and understood
- Have your experiences normalised
- Learn how to regulate your emotions and manage transitions
- Recognise what strengths you're already using to support your needs
- Get clear on what goals and environments you need to flourish
- Receive support in grieving for what could have been
Training, qualifications & experience

I discovered I had ADHD shortly after leaving employment to establish my coaching practice. Over 18 years I built a successful career in user-centred design, yet behind the scenes I was often working twice as hard to stay afloat.
Understanding my neurodivergence helped me make sense of the hidden barriers I’d faced throughout my career—it explained both my strengths and the unsustainable patterns I had normalised.
Working with an ADHD coach showed me how to work with, rather than against, my brain. It also clarified my direction—to specialise in coaching other late-diagnosed professionals who want to thrive at work without burning out.
Over the previous two decades I’ve helped organisations understand human behaviour and design environments where people can do their best work. That background now underpins my coaching: I bring a deep understanding of how workplace structures, expectations and culture shape performance.
Through Gold Mind Academy’s rigorous ADHD specialist training, I was introduced to established, evidence-based frameworks and developed the skill to apply them ethically and effectively in coaching practice.
The combination of my lived experience, formal training and systems-thinking expertise allows me to support professionals in navigating both their internal dynamics and the organisational environments in which they operate.
I am a member of the International Coaching Federation Professional Coaches. As of July 2026 I have over 650 coaching hours and am working towards my gaining my PCC accreditation.

Additional information
I usually work Monday to Fridays and aim to get back to you within two working days (GMT).
During your free discovery session, you tell me what you’re confronting right now and I’ll demonstrate how I work. If we both agree that we're a good fit, we'll discuss the cost of your investment and the commitment you’d like to make.
My rates range from £100-£150 per session depending on how you’d like to book and pay. You can see a full breakdown of my pricing on my website.
Book a call today
On my website you can book your 45 min discovery call with me.
In advance of our call, I'll invite you to complete my pre-discovery questionnaire. By sharing some basic facts about what's bringing you to coaching before we meet, we'll have more time to talk on the call.
I expect you'll have a few discovery calls with different coaches lined up. If you decide I'm the one for you, I'll do a little happy dance. Then I'll send you my contract and booking details. We can usually get started in a week or two.

Testimonials
"I would highly recommend Emily as a coach, especially for people navigating ADHD diagnoses and neurodivergence in the workplace. Emily's coaching tools help to structure the session and my thinking, and I always come away with an action and having learned something new about myself."
Anon., The Fair Education Alliance
"The conversations with Emily have really helped me better understand and place many of my own behaviours and struggles, while also increasing awareness and appreciation of strengths. Her ability to listen and ask questions without being guiding or overly opinionated, together with helpful (and correctly referenced) frameworks, models and tools really helped speed up my own neurodivergence discovery journey."
Anon., Gorilla - Energy Data Applications
“Emily is significantly helpful in understanding my neurodivergence in the workplace. At the bare minimum, she helps me stay accountable for owning my needs and recognising my patterns at work. Beyond that, she has a wealth of knowledge in the emotional and practical nuances of neurodivergent thinking that are so highly refined that I often leave sessions feeling seen, understood and solution-oriented around problems that I otherwise thought were just my own."
Anon., The School of Life
"As a woman with ADHD, I appreciated how Emily really took the time to listen and help me get my words and thoughts out. I really thought that I would struggle to come out of the session with clear actions for myself to take, but Emily challenged me to put together a strategy and gave me the confidence to put it in place also. All in all, such a positive session!"
Anon., Oddbox
