You don't need fixing.

Trying harder is what you've already been doing.

The work is to understand how your brain actually operates, and build around it.

Sound familiar?

When getting the work done takes too much effort

01

You have more ideas than you can act on, and struggle to decide which one comes first.

02

You start things easily but find it hard to finish them.

03

You move between intense hyperfocus and complete shutdown.

04

You know a task matters, yet can't begin until the deadline is close.

05

A new planner works brilliantly for about three days.

06

You leave things until the pressure is unbearable, then somehow produce your best work.

07

You feel behind, even when you're achieving more than the people around you.

08

You spend more energy organising yourself than doing the work.

Perhaps you've spent years getting things done through urgency and long bursts of focus.
It can work, but it can also leave you drained.

You don't need to arrive with a perfect explanation of what's happening.
We start with the parts of your working life that are taking the most effort.

Be honest

Which of these have you already tried?

Reminders and alarms you learned to swipe away.
Productivity apps you downloaded, set up and stopped opening.
Colour-coded calendars you ignored as soon as something urgent landed.
Books and podcasts on focus and habits.
Early mornings or strict routines you couldn't keep going.
Promising yourself you'd start earlier next time.
Working late to catch up, then feeling exhausted the next day.
Copying a system that works for someone else.
Simply trying harder.

None of this failed because you didn't try hard enough.
Most of it assumes that starting, prioritising and remembering come easily.

Why this works when other things haven't

Strategy without understanding rarely sticks

Some ADHD support focuses on practical systems.
Some focuses on understanding the diagnosis.
Most people need both, and many also need space for what years of struggling have done to their confidence.

Many of the people I work with were diagnosed later in life, or have only recently connected the dots.
Looking back, a lot suddenly makes sense.
So does the feeling that you should have been doing better all along.

ADHD coaching

Practical tools, systems and strategies designed around your brain, your work and your actual life.

Psychology

Understanding the patterns, beliefs and habits that have developed over time.

Psychotherapy

Working with the shame and self-doubt that can build up after years of feeling you should be doing better.

As a psychotherapist as well as an ADHD coach, I can work with both: the systems, and the way you feel about yourself when they fall apart.

What we work on

ADHD coaching is shaped around your circumstances, rather than a fixed productivity system.

Getting things done

  • Getting started when a task feels too large or unclear
  • Planning and prioritising when everything feels equally urgent
  • Following through after the initial interest has faded
  • Reducing your reliance on deadline pressure

Energy and routines

  • Managing attention and energy across the week
  • Building routines and systems you can return to when things change
  • Working with the effect these challenges have had on your confidence

If you lead others

  • Staying present in meetings when your attention drifts
  • Managing a team while managing your own workload
  • Being consistent and visible without burning out to prove you can

We look at what happens in your real working day, try approaches that fit and adjust them when they don't.

When you stop working against yourself

Focus instead of fragmentation

You understand where your attention goes and learn to direct it more intentionally.

Consistency instead of chaos

You build structures that work with the way you naturally operate.

Confidence instead of shame

You stop reading every struggle as proof you're lazy, unreliable or not trying hard enough.

Intention instead of firefighting

You rely less on urgency and last-minute pressure.

Sustainable success instead of exhaustion

You find ways of working that don't require you to burn out to prove you can do it.

I had tried every system going and none of them stuck.
Within a few sessions I finally understood why.
They were all built for a different kind of brain.
For the first time I have systems that actually work for how I think.
My workload feels manageable and I am not spending half my day fighting myself to get started.

Before you book

Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis?

No. We can discuss the challenges you're facing and whether ADHD coaching is appropriate for you. If you're considering Access to Work funding, you'll need to meet its eligibility requirements.

Can coaching help if I was diagnosed later in life?

Yes. You may be making sense of patterns you've lived with for years. Coaching gives us a way to explore what those patterns mean for your work now and find approaches that suit you.

How is this different from therapy?

ADHD coaching focuses on practical ways of working: systems, attention, getting started and following through. Because I'm also a psychotherapist, we can make room for the emotional side when it's getting in the way, without the coaching becoming therapy.

Is the coaching only about work?

No. We can focus on the areas having the greatest impact on you, including organisation, confidence, home life and relationships, as well as work.

Can Access to Work fund the programme?

Yes. The programme can be funded through Access to Work if you meet their eligibility criteria. You're also welcome to fund it yourself, with payment plans available. We can talk through funding on the free call.

I've tried coaching and systems before. Why would this be different?

Most systems are built for brains that find starting and prioritising easy. We build around how your attention actually works, and I'm also a psychotherapist, so we can work on the shame and self-doubt that make systems hard to stick with.

Will I have to tell my employer I have ADHD?

No. Whether you share it is your choice. If you're applying for Access to Work, they will need some information, and we can talk through what that involves.

Let's talk about what would help

A free 30-minute call is a chance to tell me what you're dealing with, ask about the 12-session programme, including Access to Work funding, and see whether working together feels right for you.
