Having ADHD doesn’t mean you need to be fixed. Understanding it changes everything!
Living with ADHD, especially after a late diagnosis, often means carrying a lifetime of self-doubt, frustration, and the feeling that you’re never quite enough. Maybe you’ve tried countless times to “just try harder” or “do better,” only to end up feeling exhausted and burnt out.
ADHD affects every area of our lives. Our minds never seem to rest; we’re constantly overthinking, feeling things deeply, often more than others can understand. Many of us struggle with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), which leaves us in constant fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. We find it challenging to get organised, to start things, to stay on track, and to focus (unless we’re in hyperfocus, which brings its own set of issues). The concept of time feels like a mystery to us. And with all this, we put enormous pressure on ourselves. No wonder “adulting” can feel impossible some days!
The truth is, you’re always going to face challenges because of the unique way your brain works. ADHD isn’t something we “overcome”; it’s something we learn to work with - through compassion, understanding, and finding strategies that fit.
“Having ADHD doesn’t mean you need to be fixed. Understanding it changes everything.”
What holds so many of us back even more than our day-to-day struggles is the belief that there’s something inherently wrong with us, that we are somehow “not enough.” Every client I work with shares this feeling in one form or another, and I’ve experienced it myself. I get it, you’ve probably heard these messages for years. But here’s the truth: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Realising that is where true transformation begins.
As an accredited ICF coach, qualified ADHD coach, and NLP practitioner with over 25 years of experience in mindset and behavioral change - and as someone with lived ADHD experience - I’m here to help you shift your relationship with yourself and your ADHD. Together, we’ll focus on self-compassion, self-worth, and practical strategies that fit your unique life.
Here’s how we’ll work together:
Mindset Shifts: We’ll uncover and reframe the limiting beliefs that a lifetime of undiagnosed ADHD can leave behind. These aren’t just mindset tweaks; they’re empowering beliefs that allow you to see yourself for who you really are. With time, you’ll start to feel a deeper sense of self-acceptance and confidence in your true self.
Strength-Based Approach: ADHD brains come with incredible strengths, like creativity, problem-solving, huge amounts of empathy, and infectious energy. We’re not afraid to take chances, and we think outside the box. By connecting with and nurturing these strengths, you’ll see your self-worth soar and start building a life that aligns with who you truly are.
ADHD-Friendly Strategies: We’ll develop realistic routines, time management techniques, and prioritisation strategies that work with your brain, not against it. It’s not about trying harder; it’s about working smarter, in a way that supports your goals.
Through our work together, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more in control. You’ll build self-compassion and self-worth, and you’ll start seeing ADHD not as a burden, but as a unique part of who you are. This is about stepping into a life that feels authentic, manageable, and fulfilling - not just surviving each day, but creating a reality that fits you.

"Working with Em has been an absolute game changer ❤️ I’ve gone from never touching my creative projects to writing every day and even planning workshops - a big deal for an overthinking introvert!
