Professionals

If you are under the pump at work and are looking for a deep and efficient re-set, you may be interested in the mindfulness based 7-week PQ program to boost your productivity, wellbeing and relationships. 

Creatives of all kinds

Whatever your creative field – if you feel ADHD is standing between you and your creative process, we can get you unstuck.

How we work with you

We listen carefully and together we will map out where your ADHD impacts your thriving most. From there we explore your brain, why it does what it does, and work out what it needs to do things differently to support your goals and dreams.

Some clients just want to learn how to adapt neurodivergent strategies in their lives and that is all they need to succeed; this could relate to getting to work on time, learning to put boundaries in place, or starting tasks without procrastination.

Other clients want to develop a different self-understanding in light of their diagnosis and learn to utilize their strengths and other resources more efficiently. This is a more ‘fuzzy’ goal, but once these clients reach the desired clarity about their potential, they define specific goals previously out of their reach.

1 : 1 Coaching for Teens and Young Adults

When working with teens (+ 12 yrs old) and young adults, I welcome and recommend parental involvement if possible. We will discuss what works best for your family in our Discovery Call.

Benefits for Teens and Young Adults

  • Understanding ADHD and its impact on their lives; in the present and future

  • Achieving better focus and enhanced self-care

  • Improved planning, organizational and study skills, leading to better academic outcomes

  • Managing and tracking progress on large projects by breaking down tasks into manageable pieces

  • Understanding Emotional Regulation and Emotional Intelligence

  • Developing social skills, social confidence and resilience

  • Gaining the tools to manage relationships at home and outside

  • Become more independent, through increased engagement with their environment and new willingness to take responsibility for more things in their life

  • Adopting a growth mindset and strength-based approach to problem solving

  • Confidently making healthy choices

  • Developing and sustaining interests and hobbies

  • Feeling confident about the future

Benefits for Parents

Parents are often their teens’ most passionate supporter, but a vital function of teenage years is becoming independent from parents, developing critical thinking and learning from mistakes.

Every parent of a neurodivergent teen knows that without parental support, the teen is likely to sink and fail. Involving parents in the coaching process for their teen and young adult means firstly that parents understand their child’s ADHD, which helps them to adjust their expectations. Secondly, coaching then becomes the neutral space where expectations, supports, responsibilities, and accountability systems can openly be discussed and agreed upon.

Involving parents in their teen’s coaching improves everybody’s communication skills and gives parents the tools to continue supporting their child beyond the coaching sessions.

How we work with you

During our initial Discovery Call and our intake process we will discuss how to best support teens and young adults. We will advise you on the benefits of parent involvement, but ultimately this depends on the teen’s or young adult’s maturity, motivation and goals as well as the family situation, relationships and overall resources.

Parental involvement in teen and young adult coaching can be a powerful message for the young person, and it demonstrates parents’ curiosity and willingness to reflect on their perspective and best practice.

Coaching for Parents and Families

  • Parents seeking support for their primary school aged child

  • Parents seeking support for their teen or young adult who does not want to engage in coaching

  • Parents seeking support for their adult child living out of home

Yet they can also be challenging for parents and families, especially if you are struggling to understand and respond to their unique needs and perceptions. We offer empathetic support for parents and families living with neurodivergent children, with practical strategies to unlock the full potential of your child and help the whole family flourish.

From there we give you all you need to know about ADHD and how it affects your child and we create specific strategies that will support you and your family towards a calm and loving home.

For Fathers

Our ‘For Fathers’ program helps you create the clarity, confidence, and calm needed for supportive family dynamics. Step into your power as a father, advocate, and role model.

The challenge for fathers

Many dads are time poor and find it difficult to attend working-hours medical appointments, which can be a cause of frustration and family friction because it can leave the other parent to become the “neurodivergent parenting expert”.  In addition, societal pressures leave many fathers caught between two demanding roles—managing work pressure and navigating emotional challenges at home. These two worlds seem to be governed by entirely different rules and expectations. Parenting a neurodivergent child adds layers of unpredictability, leaving you feeling isolated, exhausted, and unsure where to turn to.
