ADHD Coaching for Adults Who Know What to Do But Still Can't Do It

You've done the reading. Now what?
You’ve done the reading. You understand your ADHD or neurodivergence.
You can explain your patterns, name your triggers, describe your defences with surprising accuracy.
And still… nothing has really changed.
You’re still putting off the thing you said you’d do.
Still staying smaller than you know you could be.
Still exhausting yourself trying to function in systems that were never designed for how your brain works.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need something that actually works with your brain.

Working with Sarah has been an exceptionally positive experience. Their ability to understand what I meant in my neurodivergent mind, combined with a clear and structured approach, has made a significant difference to me. Sarah brings professionalism and insight to every session. Their ability to translate strategies into practical, sustainable actions has helped me make meaningful progress in areas I had put on the back burner for years. I have felt consistently supported, respected, and understood throughout our work together. I would highly recommend their coaching to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely effective support.

Sarah's coaching went beyond just ADHD tips - she helped me understand patterns I'd been stuck in and learn to trust my own judgment again. She's flexible, genuinely understands neurodivergence, and balances practical tools with deeper insights. Highly recommend.

I can honestly say as a late diagnosed neurodivergent woman in my early 30s, working with Sarah has been the most helpful thing I’ve ever done for my brain. I have a long history of trying different kinds of therapy to better my mental health. Nothing has ever helped on the long run, so I decided to give coaching a go. I’ve heard of it before but wasn’t sure it’d work for me - I was wrong, this was THE ONLY thing that has ever worked! Sarah has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and caring from the start. We’ve set a coaching “goal” together and identified my strengths and weaknesses, which was invaluable as now I can apply this knowledge in my daily life and work on making more intentional decisions that honour my neurodivergent needs. We “co-created” our sessions, which was really refreshing; I had the space and time to talk about anything, ask questions, seek advice, etc. This has really worked for my ADHD. For the first time, I felt someone truly understood my challenges and helped me work through them. Most importantly, she gave me a safe space to my true self and I could freely unmask during our conversations. I’ve learnt so much and I cannot wait to continue our sessions - thank you!

Sarah's group coaching sessions helped me learn how to ask for autistic accommodations at work, and learn tips and tricks on different kinds of accommodations to try out for myself to make my working life easier.

I had 10 coaching sessions with Sarah, who led each one with curiosity, empathy and patience. She offered thoughtful, reflective perspectives, especially when my RSD was kicking in. The space Sarah created helped me feel seen and understood. Her approach gave me clarity and confidence, and her gentle encouragement helped me reconnect with my strengths. These sessions weren’t just helpful, they were transformative. Sarah’s depth of knowledge and the resources she shared were invaluable and undoubtedly supported me on my journey. I’ve already recommended her sessions to others. Absolutely brilliant.

How I Can Help
1:1 ADHD
Coaching
For self-employed professionals and employed adults navigating ADHD, burnout, executive functioning challenges, and life transitions.
Focused programmes designed to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
Available as self-funded, Access to Work funded, or employer-funded support.
The gap most people get stuck in
You can understand ADHD really well.
You can name rejection sensitivity, executive functioning, emotional regulation.
But knowing why you do something doesn’t automatically change what happens next.
This is where coaching comes in.
Not to give you more information.
Not to give you another system to try.
But to help you move:
-
from insight to action
-
from self-criticism to self-trust
-
from stuck patterns to something that actually shifts
