About me
The Mind Pathway Ltd – Pippa Farley – ADHD & Executive Function Coach & Consultant
pippa@mindpathway.co.uk www.themindpathway.com Tel: 07813672040
I am a strength-focused ADHD, executive function, family, and life coach and consultant. I am passionate about helping individuals harness their strengths. Through one-to-one coaching, group coaching, and workshops, I empower clients to thrive while fostering an understanding of their unique brain-wiring.
I am a certified executive function, life, family, and group coach specialising in ADHD. I received training from the ADHD Coach Academy (ADDCA), a global leader in ADHD and life coaching, and Barefoot for Group Coaching. I hold a psychology degree and am accredited in executive function coaching.
My corporate experience, enthusiasm for learning, and knowledge of positive psychology further strengthen my commitment. As a parent of three, with two children who have ADHD and very different presentations, I provide both learned and lived experience.
Coaching Practice
My Coaching offers a collaborative and supportive environment which empowers you to achieve your goals, objectives, and personal growth through self-awareness. This coaching provides the tools and strategies to navigate challenges and unlock your potential for a more fulfilling life. ADHD and executive function coaching centres on understanding your unique brain wiring, realising your potential, and enhancing your executive functions. These essential skills support planning, organisation, prioritisation, time management, decision-making, and sustaining focus. These skills are crucial for daily life, academic pursuits, and professional success.

Coaching Objectives Examples:
- Develop self-awareness of your unique brain wiring to make conscious choices, build new habits and action plans, find solutions, acknowledge intentions, make decisions, and stay accountable.
- Gain insights into ADHD as an interest-driven nervous system often accompanied by hypersensitivity and rejection sensitivity. Learn to embrace and harness the strengths of ADHD while navigating hypersensitivity and rejection sensitivity.
- Strengths: Focus on your innate strengths, including executive functioning and processing abilities, alongside your passions and interests. Explore strategies to overcome challenges and enhance performance.
- Understand Yourself Better: Identify what motivates you and the ‘why’ behind decisions. Align your interests and passions with your objectives. Recognise barriers and develop strategies to overcome them. Gain insight into your triggers and use effective emotional regulation techniques to influence your actions positively.
- Female Hormonal Fluctuations: Understand the influence of hormones from puberty to menopause, pregnancy, and postpartum. Learn how hormones can impact emotional regulation, mood, memory, focus, and performance. For men, enhance awareness of how hormonal changes affect women’s emotional and cognitive well-being.

- Improve planning, prioritisation, and time management, and look at strategies to reduce being overwhelmed.
- Social anxiety and forgetfulness: Consider strategies for managing tasks, such as keeping track of appointments or everyday items.
- Attention: Balance hyper-focus on engaging activities with methods to maintain attention on less stimulating tasks.
- Managed ADHD challenges: Learn to manage the impact of poor sleep, stress, nutrition, and lack of exercise on ADHD symptoms, developing strategies to mitigate these factors.
- Overthinking: Tackle overthinking, which can hinder progress and contribute to emotional dysregulation. Build skills in pausing, emotional regulation, and trusting your intuition.
- ADHD situational and paradoxical: Explore ADHD’s paradox, where intense hyper-focus can boost productivity but create difficulties in managing other priorities. Address challenges by focusing on repetitive or prolonged tasks.
- Reframe: Strategies to reframe negative language to positive. Learn to change beliefs from comments like "lazy” and reduce the associated shame and imposter syndrome.
- Neurodiversity: ADHD is rarely experienced in isolation. My coaching approach embraces neurodiversity and considers co-occurring conditions such as autism, dyslexia, OCD, and anxiety. I provide tailored strategies to help clients navigate these overlapping challenges.

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 with ADHD, both of whom present very differently, led me down the route of psychology and coaching. My interest led to setting up my company, Mind Pathway, for ADHD, executive function and life coaching.
I have since been diagnosed with ADHD just two years ago.
