ADHD Coaching: Frequently Asked
ADHD coaching can support you with everything from time management, organisation, and emotional regulation to navigating relationships, work-life balance, and self-advocacy. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique strengths and challenges as a neurodivergent person.
We begin by reflecting on your goals and challenges, then explore strategies together in a person-centred, non-judgemental space. Each session includes practical tools, celebration of your progress, and next steps. I also provide handouts and support between sessions.
Sessions focus on your lived experience—whether that’s managing overwhelm, unmasking, building routines, or exploring boundaries. Coaching isn’t about “fixing” ADHD, but about finding sustainable strategies that work for you.
It’s important to look for a coach who truly understands neurodivergence, values intersectionality, and offers a collaborative, non-pathologising approach. Good practice in the field is for coaches to offer a free discovery call—this gives you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with them before committing. During this call, you might want to reflect on questions like:
Do I feel seen and heard?
Does the conversation flow naturally?
Do I trust this person and feel safe sharing my experiences?
Choosing a coach is about more than just qualifications; it’s about finding someone who respects your identity, listens deeply, and helps you feel at ease. Trust your instincts—if it feels like a good fit, you’re much more likely to benefit from the coaching relationship.

Inclusivity: Frequently Asked Questions
LGBTQ+ people with ADHD often navigate a unique mix of challenges. Alongside everyday ADHD struggles—like managing routines, emotional regulation, and sensory overwhelm—many also experience “minority stress.” This can include facing stigma, discrimination, or not feeling fully understood by mainstream services.
Living at the intersection of queer and neurodivergent identities can mean masking (hiding parts of yourself to fit in), feeling misunderstood, or dealing with extra anxiety and burnout. These experiences can make it harder to access affirming support, build sustainable routines, or feel truly seen.
Queer ADHD coaching offers a welcoming, identity-affirming space to explore these challenges without judgment. Together, we focus on practical strategies (like time management and emotional regulation), celebrate your strengths, and address the impact of minority stress. Coaching can help you reconnect with your authentic self, build confidence, and create routines that work for your unique brain and lived experience.
If you’re curious, I offer a free 30-minute discovery call to see if this approach feels right for you.
As a queer person, my services are 100% queer-friendly and will be provided from a place of non-judgement and open-mindedness. I fully support your individual sexual preference and gender description no matter what form it takes.
I have extensive experience working with people who are BIPOC as an Occupational Therapist.I am white with Irish and French ancestry (2nd and 4th generation) and grew up in South East London. Through my work in the NHS and teaching yoga, I am acutely aware of the way white bodies and experiences tend to dominate practices in formal and informal health and 'wellness' settings and of the advantages, whiteness consequently confers. I am committed to challenging and overcoming this dominance through collective and individual practice, including an ongoing process of understanding my positionality through self-reflection and dialogue. I am keen to work with people from all backgrounds in a way that is collaborative and client-led.

I have lived with ADHD all my life and was diagnosed in my thirties whilst studying for my MSc in Occupational Therapy. My journey of self-awareness began during my yoga training. I discovered the benefits of embodied yoga and how good it felt to get out of my head and into my body. This is the reason I am such a huge advocate for embodied practices like yoga. My studies and career in Occupational Therapy have furthered my understanding of ADHD and I’ve learnt even more tools to help myself and my clients to manage their ADHD. I work with service users everyday who have ADHD within my role as an Occupational Therapist.
