My story
Hi, I'm Louise!
As an ADHD coach, I support ADHD and other neurodivergent individuals as an ally, a thinking partner and accountability support.
I help you explore your values, strengths, strategies and what brings you joy, so that we can tap into your intrinsic sources of motivation.
I have in-depth training in positive psychology, coaching psychology, and ADHD coaching, plus 17+ years working in education PLUS a lived experience with late-diagnosed ADHD.

Coaching Path 1
Lead with Purpose
Are you an ENTREPRENEUR or LEADER with a goal of driving positive impact? Want your work to align with your VALUES and PURPOSE, incorporating your ADHD experience?
Leaders and Entrepreneurs, you're in the right place!
What my clients have in common is the drive to LEAD WITH PURPOSE.
They’ve found that ADHD has been a POWERFUL contributor to their success as they possess creativity, a wealth of ideas, are divergent thinkers and adept problem solvers, showing flexibility and resourcefulness.
Their strong sense of JUSTICE often drives them towards making a positive impact.
​
However, ADHD can also present CHALLENGES such as difficulty prioritising, procrastination, overwhelm, decision paralysis, and a struggle to switch off. These challenges can impact self-care and work-life balance.

Establish healthy work patterns that work to your rhythm
-
Build personalised strategies to prevent burnout

Design your future with intention
When you discover that you have ADHD as an adult, so many aspects of your life and past experiences begin to make sense.... Why burnout happens, why the strategies that work for everyone else don't seem to work for you, why you can sometimes do a day's work in a matter of hours or why you procrastinate a 5 minute task for weeks.
​
This realisation can be liberating but can also bring a sense of grief about what might have been. It may raise questions about IDENTITY-who are you without the mask, what could life be like if we designed it to meet YOUR needs and wants? ​
We can work together using this new understanding to DESIGN your FUTURE with INTENTION and explore ways to live as your authentic self, without the mask.
