About Sarah

Sarah Hardy, UK ADHD Business Coach

I’m Sarah

An ADHD and business coach, consultant, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman. I work with individuals and organisations who are ready to stop battling their brains and start building support that actually works.

I specialise in supporting:

  • Neurodivergent adults figuring out how to work with their brain

  • Self-employed creatives and service providers who feel out of control behind the scenes

  • Employers and managers who want to create inclusive support — not just tick-box adjustments

 

I don’t believe in hustle, one-size-fits-all solutions, or fixing people who aren’t broken.


I believe in clarity, gentle structure, and sustainable support. Coaching with me is practical, affirming, and grounded in what works for you.

A Bit About My Background

I bring over 20 years of experience in coaching, business operations, and behind-the-scenes support.

 

I’ve worked with founders, freelancers, overwhelmed parents, and ambitious professionals trying to stay afloat, often while masking.

I hold a first-class BSc in Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Counselling, and I’m currently completing my Master’s in Positive Psychology and Coaching.

 

I’m EMCC-accredited, ADHD Works certified, and trained in trauma-aware, neuroaffirmative practice.

My approach is shaped by:

  • Polyvagal Theory

  • Strengths-Based Coaching

  • Positive Psychology tools like VIA Strengths and Positive Intelligence saboteurs

  • Real-world experience supporting neurodivergent business owners and professionals

Why I’m Passionate About Life Coaching

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 35 — after years of pushing through, people-pleasing, and wondering why I couldn’t keep up without burning out.

That diagnosis didn’t just explain a lot, it reshaped everything. It led me to build a coaching and business support practice that blends lived experience, evidence-based psychology, and genuinely useful strategies for real life.

Whether I’m helping someone plan their week, unpick a career crossroads, or stop saying yes to everything out of guilt, the goal is always the same: to feel more like yourself again, and to move forward in a way that feels doable.

Who I Work With

I work with people who are brilliant, thoughtful, and completely burnt out by systems that weren’t designed for them.

Many of my clients are:

  • Neurodivergent adults navigating life after a late ADHD or Autism discovery

  • Coaches, creatives, and self-employed professionals trying to stay organised without losing themselves

  • Parents who’ve been holding everything together and are ready for support that actually supports them

  • Business owners who need someone in their corner

You don’t have to be diagnosed.
You don’t have to explain how your brain works.
You just have to be ready to do things differently with someone who gets it.
