Work with Me

Do you diagnose ADHD?

No. (Sorry!)
I know, people are looking for a diagnosis and in the UK there are long waiting lists. If you feel that you cannot take a step forward until you have an ‘official’ diagnosis then please pursue that first. I’d invite you to ponder – medication aside, what difference will that make to how you engage with coaching?

What if I don’t have a diagnosis – or have ADHD at all?

Humans are wonderful in our individuality – and universality. In other words, I am happy to coach anyone whether they are diagnosed or not.

What’s your training and background?

My coaching style is a blend of personal experience, extensive professional education with the very best training centres (ADDCA, UCLA, IAPPC, CETD), and a deep understanding of ADHD.
Having walked the path myself, I bring empathy and insight that few can.
I don’t just offer tools or ‘hacks’ and I’m not self-taught, having read a lot of books or had a child with ADHD: I focus on deep, transformative change, helping you shift beliefs and access your own strengths.
My approach is rooted in authenticity, honesty, and a genuine desire to see you thrive. You can read more about my philosophy HERE

Do you guarantee a ‘transformation?

Here’s how coaching works: it’s a thinking partnership of equals, where I offer a process and my ‘thinkers’ responsibility is to change, however works best for them.

Consulting or training are different – but sometimes they’re run alongside coaching and sometimes people misunderstand and call THEM coaching.
– Consulting: I’ll give you the benefit of my knowledge, experience, training and tell you what I think you should do.
– Training: I’ll show you how to do the thing that you specifically want to learn.

How many sessions will I need?

I’d say that on average, most people achieve the changes they set out looking for in around 3-6 months. Personally, I have an ongoing mentor coaching which is flexible but also means that I know I can have my ‘thinking partner’ around to challenge the corners and friction patches that still show up.

I know that people love certainty (me too) so that’s why there are time-defined partnerships here. My hope is that you’ll enjoy coaching and the changes it creates so much you will either hang around – or come back.

Why do you cost more than some coaches?

I’m not going to pretend that I’m offering the cheapest ADHD coaching online. I’m definitely not going to suggest that you put ‘being coached’ ahead of paying your essential bills or taking care of yourself.

The question of value – rather than expense – is really down to this: am I the right coach for you? Do you believe that, having read ‘My Philosophy’ – and if you’re really in deep, ‘My Manifesto’ and listened to my podcasts – you need more than information and I’m the person you trust to get you there, do you trust yourself enough to get the most from our coaching?

Only you will know if this is the right coaching at the right time for you. I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative – because if I didn’t I would not be a coach.
