About me
Are you overwhelmed by too much to do? Plagued by procrastination at home, at work or while studying? Worried about the impact of executive dysfunction due to ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity?
As an a ICF-accredited productivity coach and study skills expert with specialist training in ADHD and chronic disorganisation, I'm here to help. Based in London, I coaching clients worldwide via Zoom, including:
🟦 Students at secondary school, college and university, uncertain about how to plan effective revision for exams
🟦 Professional trainees, juggling work and study while struggling to stay on top of life admin
🟦 Entrepreneurs, freelancers and professionals, eager to move ahead with plans but finding it hard to focus on what matters most
I also offer a popular Productivity Boot Camp of five x 15-minute sessions on five consecutive days - ideal for kickstarting you into action or creating accountability when an important deadline looms.
In addition to coaching, I run a popular workshop Gearing Up for GCSEs: top tips for parents to help teens prepare for exams. The next one will be online on Tues 13 October at 8pm (UK time). For more details and bookings: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1997910620448?aff=oddtdtcreator
My approach is positive, purposeful and practical with an emphasis on developing skills that boost confidence, motivation and wellbeing. I have a specialist training in supporting clients affected by ADHD and other neuro-diverse conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and executive dysfunction.
I'm an Oxford graduate with several years' experience of teaching and coaching students from diverse backgrounds at London University and the Open University. I trained as certified professional co-active coach in 2008, and developed a portfolio career to include life coaching, professional organising, writing and speaking.
I belong to the ICF International Coach Federation, and am registered as a coach with the charity ADHD-UK and the ADHD Directory.
I'm an experienced public speaker, available to speak online or in person about productivity, time management and organising. And I'm also media-friendly, ready to provide comments, articles, interviews or blogs.
I regularly present talks in corporate and community settings on issues relating to time management and productivity. I've led a Guardian Masterclass and spoken at venues ranging from Google campus, the Open University, Grand Designs, the Office Show, Ideal Home Show, Sony Studios, the National Film & Television School, Octavia Housing, Barclays Bank, the Women's Institute and Champneys spa.
