About me

Pippa Farley | Strength and Psychological focused Coaching, ADHD & Executive Function Coach & Awareness  |The Mind Pathway - pippa@mindpathway.co.uk  | www.themindpathway.com |

I am passionate about ADHD coaching for adults, students, professionals, and entrepreneurs, supporting people through key life transitions and into greater clarity, balance, and confidence. I work with parents, teenagers, families, schools, educational settings, and organisations to help individuals recognise and harness the power of their unique brain wiring.  

As a strengths-focused, psychological ADHD, executive function, family, and life coach, I support clients in enhancing confidence and self-belief and in gaining insight into workable, sustainable actions. My coaching combines professional training with lived experience, creating a safe, encouraging space where people feel understood, capable, and ready for meaningful growth.

With ADHD, I truly believe that everyone has an abundance of strengths. By giving permission to be yourself, to understand how your brain works, and to work with it rather than against it, growth becomes both possible and sustainable.

As an accredited ADHD, life, family and group coach, trained through ADDCA (ADHD Coach Academy), the NeuroLeadership Institute (Brain-Based Coaching Skills) and Barefoot Group Coaching. I hold a psychology degree and a certification in executive function, with a background in corporate practice, blending evidence-based training with lived experience to deliver practical, compassionate, real-world support. I have over 1500 coaching hours and talk on ADHD and mentoring, including mentoring ex-offender case managers. 

My Coaching Practice

My coaching is a collaborative, strengths-led process that helps clients understand how their mind works and move forward with confidence. I work with adults, students, parents, professionals and entrepreneurs, supporting clarity, motivation and sustainable progress during times of change or challenge.

Alongside one-to-one coaching, I offer group coaching for students and work with schools and organisations to build understanding of ADHD, executive functioning and neurodiversity through practical, inclusive approaches.

My coaching supports skills essential to daily life, including planning, prioritisation, organisation, time management, emotional regulation, decision-making, and sustained attention.  For females (and those who support them), taking into consideration the influence of hormonal shifts across different life stages.

In addition to one-to-one work, I offer group coaching for students to build confidence, develop study skills, and benefit from peer support. These foundations help you lean into your strengths and create a fulfilling path across home, school, and work.

ADHD Explained

ADHD is often misunderstood as a lack of attention, when in fact it reflects a difference in how attention is regulated across inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined presentations. Many people with ADHD experience an abundance of attention that may range widely or lock into deep focus depending on interest and context. When this is understood and supported, rather than judged, it becomes a strength, and coaching helps individuals work with their natural attention patterns to create clarity, confidence and meaningful progress.

Testimonial

"My ADHD/Autism diagnosis came late in life (in my 50s), and finding Pippa as an ADHD coach has been transformative for me. My neurodiversity made a lot of sense of how I achieved success in many areas of my education and career, whilst neglecting important matters in my personal life. Some explanation of my internal frustrations, unpredictable levels of consistency and general lack of balance was insightful, but in many ways, a more questions than answers experience. Pippa’s refreshing “this is where you are, let’s move forward positively from here” approach really chimed with me and has made an initially somewhat shocking diagnosis a positive turning point in my life. Rather than dwell on weaknesses or the past, Pippa has encouraged me to recognise and harness my strengths and reframe areas that I find challenging in the 
optimal way for achieving what I want out of life. I like to deeply understand the science behind my diagnosis and how it affects my personality and behaviours. Pippa is very generous in sharing her knowledge and suggesting books and articles for me to read. Satisfying my curiosity in this way makes it much easier for me to commit to and succeed in improving aspects of my approach to life. 
 It is not always plain sailing, but with Pippa’s balance of compassion and challenge, I am becoming much kinder to myself and find myself taking charge of my life, rather than just turning up for it. I am still very much a work in progress, but I am very grateful to Pippa for her guidance and support thus far. I highly recommend Pippa to anyone seeking an ADHD coach, based on my progress so far. My wife is also a very enthusiastic Pippa fan!"

Further information

Having two children (now young adults of 22 and 10) with ADHD, one with a combined presentation (boy) and the other with inattentive ADHD and latterly with AuADHD (girl).  This led me to pursue a second degree in psychology and ADHD coaching with ADDCA, the leading global ADHD coaching organisation, ICF-accredited.  My passion, my love of people and seeing strengths in individuals has led me to set up my company, Mind Pathway, for ADHD, executive function, life coaching and awareness.

The ADDCA training opened my eyes to me having ADHD, and l hence I sought a diagnosis 3 years ago.
