About Me

I am a Certified ADHD Coach, and it is my immense privilege to work with other ADHDers, to navigate life with zest and joy!

I am a late diagnosed ADHD woman myself, and a mother to 2 neurodivergent teens. Over the last 4 years since receiving my own diagnosis, I have gone on a journey of self discovery and developed an awareness of myself and my strengths that has helped me tackle my challenges and live life in a way that suits my brain.

I have an MA in Gender and Women's Studies and a qualification in Motherhood Studies, both of which gave me a deeper understanding of how societal expectations on women and mothers can lead to internalised 'shoulds' which, for ADHDers, can be particularly challenging. Having an awareness of these factors and knowledge of ADHD has helped me to free myself from these expectations.

I have had such a positive experience of ADHD coaching in my life that I wanted to be able to help others in the same way.
