Turn Your ADHD Challenges Into Strengths
Living with ADHD can be tough. I can help you manage your emotions, behaviours, and symptoms. Things I can help you with:
• Feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed
• Procrastination, organisation and feeling ‘stuck’
• Being on time — too late or too early
• Getting upset at the ‘small’ things
• Criticism, fear of rejection and self acceptance
• Making or keeping relationships and friends
• Better communication skills
• Never feeling quite ‘good enough’
We’ll Find Strategies That Work For You
Things You May Not Know
Understand Your Brain and You Can Find Ways to Work With It
Living with ADHD is overwhelming. Understanding the unique way your brain processes information is the first step toward unlocking its potential. Self-awareness transforms frustration into empowerment, helping you build a life that works with your brain, not against it.
You Have Strengths You Can Apply and Use to Your Advantage
Learning to use your strengths and identifying strategies that complement your natural tendencies is the second step to overcoming challenges and creating positive and lasting changes in your life.
Your Nervous System Rarely Rests So ADHD Burnout is Common
An ADHD mind is very often in overdrive. Processing thoughts, emotions, and stimuli at a relentless pace leads to exhaustion and burnout. Protecting your nervous system means learning to say no, setting boundaries and limits on your energy, and creating space for rest and recovery.

What Do YOU Need the Most Help With?
After an initial assessment we can work out together what it is that you need the most help with and we’ll prioritise it from there. We’ll come up with a plan, including an idea of how many sessions you’ll need to get you on track.
Some of the Most Common Issues
Things like regulating emotions, self acceptance, procrastination, sensitivity to criticism, time keeping, and often feeling ‘stuck’ are really common with ADHD, along with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
You Are Not Your Diagnosis
I think it’s really important to work with you, not your diagnosis — although obviously we’ll take that into account when working together. We’re all different so what one person needs may be completely different to someone else.
Past or Present?
Sometimes it can help to explore the past and see where our unhelpful patterns started — often from a very early age. When we recognise how our past experiences have shaped who we are, it can help us deal with them and move forward.
Therapy or Coaching? Therapy
Therapy focuses on understanding and addressing emotional challenges, past experiences, and mental health conditions that often come with ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).
Therapy or Coaching? Coaching
Coaching is more action-oriented, helping to develop practical strategies for managing daily challenges like procrastination, organisation, and time management. They both work really well together as a package.
