About me
Struggling with ADHD burnout? Constantly overwhelmed and exhausted?
If you're tired of pushing through, behind on everything, and your ADHD coping strategies have stopped working - I get it. I was diagnosed at 39 after years of the same cycle.
What makes my approach different:
I'm an occupational therapist and health coach, so I don't just focus on productivity hacks. We look at the whole picture: sleep, stress, routines, energy, emotions, and how your environment either supports or sabotages you.
This isn't about forcing yourself into boxes that don't fit. It's about building a life that actually works for you.
My "Be Well, Live Well, Your Way" framework has three pillars:
Be Well (your health foundation)
Live Well (what actually matters to you)
Your Way (personalised to fit your life, not someone else's)
I work with adults (18+) who:
- Feel constantly overwhelmed and burned out
- Have ADHD or think they might
- Want support beyond medication (or don't want meds at all)
- Need practical strategies that fit their life - not everyone else's
My background:
- Occupational Therapist (BSc Hons)
- Institute of Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
- 11 years of combined experience supporting adults
- Diagnosed with ADHD at 39
What you can expect:
We start where YOU are. No judgment. No pressure to be someone you're not.
Together we'll work through my "Be Well, Live Well, Your Way" framework to:
- Build routines and habits that actually feel doable
- Tackle the stuff getting in your way (time, focus, energy, emotions, sensory overwhelm)
- Create ADHD-friendly systems tailored to YOUR brain
- Focus on health foundations: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress
This is about you reconnecting with your strengths and creating a steadier way of living.
Sessions available:
- In-person in South Yorkshire (Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield areas)
- Online via Google Meet
- Phone sessions
- Access to Work funding accepted

Training, qualifications & experience
Occupational Therapist (2014-now) I qualified in 2014 and worked in the NHS for five years. OT is about helping people do everyday activities that matter to them - whether that's work, self-care, or hobbies - despite health challenges.
Health & Wellbeing Coach (2019-now) I support people to make changes that stick - around food, movement, sleep, stress and energy. I've coached over 1,000 hours, with a large focus on mental health and type 2 diabetes.
Coaching people with ADHD led to my own diagnosis.
This was the driving force behind creating ADHD Unboxed, where I combine both skill sets to support adults in living well with ADHD in a way that works for them.
Qualifications:
BSc Occupational Therapy
Health Coach (IIN & Peak Health Coaching)

What this means:

Further information
Additional information:
Special interests and expertise: In addition to ADHD coaching, I have experience supporting people with mental health challenges and type 2 diabetes. The dietary principles that help stabilise blood‑sugar in diabetes - like balancing carbohydrates and managing energy dips - also prove useful for ADHD.
I’m familiar with patterns such as emotional eating and cravings, which can be common in ADHD, and I use practical strategies to help clients navigate these behaviours.
Professional standards: I hold an enhanced DBS check and undertake regular continuing professional development to meet the ethical standards of my professional registrations.
This ensures you’re receiving up‑to‑date, evidence‑based support.
Approach and availability: Sessions can be in person, via video (Google Meet) or over the telephone, with flexible scheduling to suit your needs. I blend occupational therapy and coaching tools, tailoring each session to your goals and energy levels.
Lived experience: My own ADHD journey means I understand the challenges personally as well as professionally. I aim to create a warm, non‑judgmental space where you can explore your goals and build confidence.
Booking: A free 30‑minute introductory call is available to see if my approach suits you. Sessions are available individually or in blocks, and concessionary slots and Access to Work funding options can be discussed.
