An ADHD coach supports adults to understand and regulate how their nervous system, attention, emotions, and energy function in daily life. My work is trauma-informed and somatic, meaning we work with body-based signals alongside reflection and practical strategy. The aim is not to fix or force productivity, but to build self-trust, regulation, and sustainable capacity so change lasts.

No. ADHD coaching is not therapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching is present- and future-focused, working with awareness, nervous system regulation, self-trust, and practical change. If therapeutic or clinical support is needed, I support appropriate referrals. I offer therapeutic coaching, not therapy. We work with present-moment nervous system experiences and body awareness. Past experiences may be referenced only when they are already integrated and relevant to current patterns. I do not work with unintegrated trauma, depression, severe anxiety, or other severe mental health conditions requiring clinical treatment, and I support appropriate referrals where needed.

Therapy typically focuses on diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions, and processing past trauma. My work is coaching, not clinical treatment. We focus on regulation, decision-making, identity, self-trust, and how to function sustainably in work and life. Coaching supports change without replacing therapy or medical care.

I work with adults aged 18 and over who are diagnosed, self-identified, or questioning ADHD. This includes late-diagnosed adults, high-functioning professionals experiencing overwhelm or burnout, and adults navigating career or identity transitions. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit.

I commonly support adults experiencing: • Chronic overwhelm and nervous system overload • Decision paralysis and difficulty choosing direction • Perfectionism and fear of getting it wrong • Burnout masked by high functioning • Over-responsibility and difficulty resting • Career confusion or repeated dissatisfaction • Difficulty trusting themselves or their internal signals • Fear of missing our, fear of being seen or fear of failure • Fear of rejection and challenges with setting up boundaries • People pleasing challenges, always saying 'yes' and regretting decisions later due to overwhelmed • As well as other challenges in professional and personal life Coaching makes these patterns visible and workable rather than something to push through.

My approach is trauma-informed, ADHD-aware, and somatic-based. We work with nervous system regulation, body awareness, and consent-based pacing rather than pressure or rigid accountability. The focus is on building self-trust so action comes from regulation and clarity, not force.

ADHD is fundamentally a system regulation difference, not a lack of effort or motivation. When the nervous system is dysregulated, focus, memory, motivation, and emotional regulation become harder. Somatic coaching helps restore regulation so focus becomes more available.

Yes. My work is trauma-informed and somatic, meaning we prioritise safety, pacing, consent, and body-based awareness. We listen to internal signals rather than overriding them, supporting sustainable change and self-trust.

Yes. Many clients appear successful externally while internally experiencing burnout, anxiety, or chronic strain. Coaching helps reduce the hidden cost of constant compensation and supports more sustainable ways of working and living.

Yes. Coaching does not require a formal diagnosis. What matters is your lived experience and whether this approach supports your regulation, clarity, and capacity.

There is no fixed timeline. Coaching is a process, not a quick fix. Some clients work short-term for clarity and stabilisation, while others engage over several months for deeper identity or career transitions.

Results vary, but clients often report improved regulation, clearer decision-making, reduced overwhelm, stronger self-trust, and more sustainable work and life rhythms. Outcomes depend on engagement with the process.
