I’m Sarah, an ADHD and neurodiversity coach, psychology practitioner and late-diagnosed ADHDer.
I work with thoughtful, capable people who often already understand a lot about themselves – but still find actually changing things in real life really difficult.
Because knowing why you procrastinate doesn’t necessarily make you start the task. Understanding executive functioning doesn’t automatically make planning easier. And knowing you need to rest doesn’t always stop the guilt when you actually do.
That gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it is a big part of why I became a coach.
Together, we’ll get curious about what’s making things difficult for you and work out what might actually help.
My diagnosis brought a huge amount of relief.
After years of people-pleasing, pushing through and wondering why I could be highly capable in one part of my life and completely stuck in another, suddenly a lot of things made much more sense.
A diagnosis doesn’t magically make you pay a bill on time, reply to the WhatsApp you’ve been thinking about for six days or remember to cancel the free trial before another £29.99 disappears from your bank account.
I still had to work out what all this new understanding actually meant in my everyday life.
That gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it is a big part of why I became a coach.
That eventually led me to coaching – and to helping other people work out what that gap looks like for them.
I’m not interested in handing you another list of strategies you already know about.
Instead, we start with what’s difficult for you, right now.
...even though it would probably take ten minutes.
Or is there something else going on entirely?
Coaching gives us space to look beneath the task or challenge and get curious about what’s actually happening.
Once we understand what makes this particular thing difficult for you, we can start working out what might help. There’s no standard approach – we can adapt what we try as we learn more about what works for you.
A lot of the work we do together is questioning those “shoulds”.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the thing itself. It’s the way you’re forcing yourself to do it because somewhere along the way you picked up a rule about how it’s supposed to be done.
That doesn’t mean using ADHD as an excuse or deciding you never have to do difficult things.
It means getting curious about why something is difficult and finding another way of approaching it that’s realistic for you.
I work with neurodivergent adults who are thoughtful, self-aware and often already know quite a lot about ADHD – but are tired of struggling with things that feel as though they should be easier.
and wondering what happens next.
and have read everything there is to read, but still struggle to apply that knowledge consistently.
raising a family, dealing with burnout or simply using an enormous amount of energy to look like everything is fine.
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organised list of goals.
Before moving into coaching, I spent more than 20 years working in operational and business support roles.
that don’t always suit the way you work.
and still needing to get things done.
We can talk about the psychology behind what’s happening...
...but we can also work out how you’re going to answer
the email you’ve been avoiding.
Or approach the conversation you know you need to have.
I’m interested in what’s useful in real life, not just what makes sense in theory.
Whether ADHD is affecting everyday life, work, your business or the people you manage, we can start with what’s difficult right now.
You might be newly diagnosed, late diagnosed, self-identified or still figuring things out.
Coaching helps you take what you already know about yourself and work out how to apply it in real life.
It’s the invoicing, admin, planning, marketing, following up, decisions and approximately 700 other things that can become difficult.
Overwhelm, burnout, changing capacity, inconsistent performance or workplace expectations that don’t fit how you function.
For organisations and managers who want to support neurodivergent employees – but aren’t always sure what useful support actually looks like.
My coaching combines professional training, psychology, operational experience and lived experience of ADHD.
I’m also an Access to Work-approved coach, supporting employed and self-employed clients who receive government funding for coaching or workplace strategy sessions.
Real words from people I’ve supported through ADHD coaching, business challenges and figuring out what actually works for them.
You don’t need me to tell you everything you’re doing wrong or give you another pile of information about ADHD.
That’s exactly the kind of thing we can explore through ADHD coaching.
We’ll look at where you are now, what’s getting in the way and what you’d like to be different – then see if working together feels like the right fit.
