About me

ADHD & Neurodiversity Coaching | From feeling overwhelmed and stuck to being clear, confident and in control

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’re not quite reaching their potential, especially when work feels harder than it should.

For many of the people I support, this is linked to neurodivergence such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia.
Sometimes that comes with a diagnosis (often later in life), and sometimes it’s something that’s only just starting to make sense.

On the outside, you might look like you’re coping.
But inside it can feel messy, exhausting, and frustrating.

You might recognise yourself in this:

you know you’re capable, but struggle to show it consistently
starting or finishing things feels harder than it should
your mind feels busy, scattered, or overloaded
you second-guess yourself more than you’d like
work takes more energy than it seems to for others

Often there’s more going on underneath too.

Alongside the practical challenges, there can be:

imposter syndrome
burnout or constant overwhelm
frustration with yourself
or even grief around missed opportunities or “what could have been”
You might be thinking, “Why has this always felt so hard?”
Or, “Now I know… what do I do with it?”

This is where I can help.

Together, we make sense of what’s going on, both practically and emotionally.

I support you to:

understand how your brain works (in a way that actually helps)
improve focus, organisation, and follow-through
reduce overwhelm and mental clutter
rebuild confidence in yourself and your abilities

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here.
We find what works for you.

My approach is simple, human, and practical.

There’s no fixing you....because you’re not broken.

Instead, this is about helping you work with how your mind works, rather than constantly fighting against it.

I bring together coaching, executive function support, and a space where you can talk honestly about what’s really going on, without judgement.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re falling short of your own expectations, you’re not alone, and things can change.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before we start. A conversation is a good place to begin.

What it’s like to work with me

Working with me is relaxed, supportive, and down to earth.

There’s no pressure to have the “right words” or to explain yourself perfectly. You can show up exactly as you are, whether that’s clear, overwhelmed, frustrated, or not quite sure where to start.

I’ll ask thoughtful questions to help you make sense of what’s going on, and we’ll figure things out together at your pace.

Some sessions might feel practical and focused, looking at ways to organise things or move forward.
Others might slow down a bit more, making space for how things are actually feeling underneath.

There’s a bit of honesty, a bit of humour when it helps, and always a sense that you’re not being judged.

Most people I work with say they feel:

clearer about what’s going on
less overwhelmed
and more able to take small, meaningful steps forward

Next Steps

If you’re used to holding it all together on the outside, but it feels harder than it should underneath, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

You’re very welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
