Hello, I'm Em
I'm an ADHD coach specialising in mindset and RSD. I know first hand just how significant the impact of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD is, and I also know the difference it makes when you change those limiting beliefs and actually start to really like yourself. I want that for every late diagnosed woman out there, and that right there is why I'm here doing what I do
I was diagnosed at 45, after a lifetime of asking myself what on earth was wrong with me. Growing up undiagnosed I always felt a step behind, working twice as hard just to keep up, and being told I was too much, too intense, too emotional, too impulsive, until eventually I believed it. Masking all of that was exhausting, and by the end I'd lost sight of who I actually was.
The hardest part, and the part I understood last, was RSD. Rejection and criticism floored me for days, and it shaped far more of my life than I realised at the time, the relationships, the opportunities I talked myself out of, and most of all what I believed about myself.
The diagnosis explained so much, but it didn't undo any of the years before it. That took unpicking the beliefs that had kept me stuck in people pleasing, perfectionism and constant self doubt, and changing those changed everything, my outlook, my life, and most of all my relationship with myself. It's still work I'm doing, and it's the same work I do with the women I coach.
Getting to know myself properly also meant working out what I genuinely love rather than what I thought I should, so these days you'll usually find me on a snowboard, on a paddle board, swimming in water that is far too cold, or off walking somewhere I've never been before.
I'm a certified coach with ICF accredited qualification, qualified ADHD coach and an NLP practitioner, with over 25 years of experience in mindset and behavioural change alongside my own lived experience. People tell me I'm easy to talk to, and there's very little you could say that I haven't either heard before or lived myself.
