About ADHD Coaching Room

This page is about ADHD Coaching Room, a dedicated online coaching space for adults with ADHD, offering counselling-informed support to help you find a calmer, clearer way forward.

About Me

I still remember reading an article that stopped me in my tracks. It felt as though someone had quietly described my life without ever having met me. The emotional dysregulation, the time-keeping, the periods of extreme hyperfocus, things I had spent years putting down to “just being me”, turned out to have a name. Around six years ago, I discovered I had ADHD.

That moment of recognition changed everything.

Looking back, ADHD had shaped my life in ways I had not fully understood. I travelled from a young age, spending around fifteen years living and working overseas. Part of that was a genuine love of freedom and new experiences, but part of it was that the demands of everyday life in the UK felt overwhelming in a way I could not quite explain. Living abroad gave me space to breathe.

Coming back was harder than I expected. I experienced what people sometimes call reverse homesickness, that disorientating feeling of not quite belonging somewhere that should feel like home. I began counselling during that time, and it changed everything. It was the first time I had really made sense of my own patterns, and I knew from that point that I wanted to train as a counsellor myself.

I built a private practice and began working with clients, and I noticed something. Many of the people coming to me had ADHD, and while counselling was helping them understand themselves, they also needed practical strategies to move forward. So I trained as an ADHD coach, and the two approaches came together in a way that felt completely natural.

I also trained in Transformational Therapy, because I kept seeing how many adults with ADHD carry beliefs about themselves from childhood, that they are lazy, difficult, or not quite enough, and those beliefs deserve to be worked with directly, not just managed around.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Counselling from Abertay University, and am a BACP Registered Member. My training also includes ongoing CPD in ADHD, emotional regulation and nervous system support.

How I Work

I know what it is like to work with an ADHD brain because I do it every day. I have learned that rigid structures and packed schedules tend to work against me, so I build my days differently. I protect time that is unplanned, so I can respond to how I am actually feeling rather than forcing myself into a routine that drains me. Most days that looks like dog walking, meeting friends for coffee, or simply doing whatever feels right, and I find I work far better that way.

I also stopped feeling guilty about the hobbies I have started and not finished. One thing I often say to clients is that trying things is valuable, even when they do not last. The key is not to overcommit. Avoid the long subscription, the expensive equipment, the year-long class, until you know something genuinely holds your interest. Starting and stopping is not failure. It is how an ADHD brain explores the world.

If you are looking for further information and community support around ADHD, ADHD UK is a trusted and helpful resource.
