About Me
Hi, I’m Catherine Lightfoot (she/her), an Executive and ADHD Coach based in the South West UK. I work with professionals and leaders who want to do things differently, whether that means navigating career transitions, leading with authenticity, or working with their neurodivergence instead of against it.
My coaching journey is rooted in lived experience. I was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, during a time of deep personal transition: leaving a senior corporate role, experiencing IVF and miscarriage, and eventually becoming a parent. I’ve lived the chaos of burnout and the clarity of realignment, and I bring all of that into the coaching space with empathy and pragmatism.
Professionally, I spent over 15 years in leadership roles across HR, transformation, and operations, working with global organisations including KPMG, Global FMCG and high-growth startups. I’ve coached senior leaders, creatives, changemakers, and those navigating life after diagnosis. My clients often describe me as calm, curious, honest, and real.
I trained with Gold Mind Academy (165+ CCE hours, ICF-accredited) and hold an ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. I’m currently working toward ICF ACC accreditation and am a member of the International Coaching Federation and Association for Coaches. I also hold training in mental health first aid.
Whether you’re an exec who's hit a wall, a newly diagnosed professional figuring out what comes next, or someone seeking space to think, feel, and reimagine, I’d love to meet you.
