Forgetfulness:
Do you often forget birthdays or anniversaries? Or do you go into a room but forget why? Is it hard to recall conversations? Or do you think you said something to someone, but they haven’t heard of it before?
Disorganisation:
Do you often struggle to remember where your keys, glasses, and valet are? Do you often lose or misplace things?
Time blindness:
Do you experience time flowing through your fingers? Have you just gotten up, but over half of the day has gone? You haven’t completed half of the things you needed to.
Concentration:
Do you often experience Brain fog? Is it hard to shift attention? Or focus on multiple tasks for a period of time? Does noise, movement, and bright colours distract you?
Motivation:
Do you often feel that you lack motivation and are unable to complete things? However, when you are interested in something, your motivation is sky high.
Impulsivity:
Do you tend to make impulsive decisions? Or act without reflecting on the consequences?
Overwhelm:
Do you often feel overwhelmed, paralysed, and unable to know where to start?
Procrastination:
Do you have the habit of putting things off? Things which are difficult, too fiddly, out of your interest?
Hyperactivity:
Is it hard to stay still? Do you dislike slow exercises? Do you often fidget? Are you drawn to high-activity sports? Do you often interrupt the other?
Welcome to my site. If you are here, it means you are probably searching for something new. Would you like to create a change and make your life easier, calmer, less stressed, happier, or more successful? You might be fed up with your internal dialogue, which most ADHD-ers also have:
- I am not good enough!
- I am a failure!
- I cannot finish anything!
- I messed up my entire life!
- I cannot cope!
- It is too much pressure!
- Everyone else can handle it.
- I am an idiot!
- I am completely disorganised.
- ‘I cannot plan.’
- Just want everything to stop!
How do we start?
Tell me about your thoughts:
- The thoughts in your head are like a nice quiet Cumbria country road – or an eight-line motorway in New York?
- When you wake up in the morning, is your head quiet, nothing is going on, and you are just fine and gently waking up? Or do you have an overwhelming to-do list, and everything is moving at 100 miles/hour?
- Are you already late for things, with things, to things? Or are you absolutely grumpy, moody, or lethargic and don’t want to get out of bed? It takes hours to come around and feel that you can function.
If some of these statements or questions resonate with you, I would like to invite you to raise awareness and learn to manage your ADHD. Take control of your life. In this process, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and internal experiences and create a personalised plan to live a whole life.

The way I see ADHD:
I believe ADHD is a neurodiverse condition. The nervous system and the brain are wired differently from the neurotypical brain. There is no problem with that.
The cause of the issue is our society, which is designed for a neurotypical brain. Therefore, by the time a child grows up in our world, society and caretakers often misinterpret their behaviour and character in multiple ways. This can create beliefs internally such as ‘I am not good enough’, ‘Something is wrong with me’, or ‘I don’t fit in anyway’.
How do I work with ADHD?
I separate the psychological side of issues from neurological issues.
I created a coaching program that is personalised individually for each coachee.
Working together, I would like to find out how you think, what is going on in your head, how you feel or sense things, and what makes you upset, frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed. Once we understand you better, we can examine how to manage your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, learn about techniques, and manage yourself in everyday challenges. Together: Draw up your sensory economy chart and learn to minimise overwhelming sensory input or increase input if you are understimulated. Understand procrastination and find out how you can be motivated. Tackle time management and organisation issues. Develop a good exercise program and look into your dietary habits.
ADHD coaching is often a short-term about 10-15 session work.
