About

As an accredited ADHD coach – ICF & PAAC – I work with people with ADHD as a thinking partner to support them, shine a light on their thinking plus help them get unstuck and take themself forward positively.

I work with my clients to build a greater self awareness of themselves, to reframe how they see themselves and to find strategies to take themselves forward.

By creating a safe and trusting relationship I help clients feel comfortable and then help them to explore their successes, strengths, possibilities and positive qualities. I also help my clients to uncover their creative, enjoyable, energising skills and activities. This gives more positive energy and emotions that can result in a more positive life.

Although I love working with all types of people with ADHD who are seriously interested in improving the self management of their life I have special interests in the areas of Stress Management, Perfectionism, Perspective Taking and Social Skills where I have done extra research and study in order to help my clients.

I also enjoy working with school and university students who with added responsibility find themselves challenged plus sometimes fearful to meet school and university requirements. Flipping their fear through self care, positive energy, understanding themself plus structured time strategies results in motivated, successful students that regain their self confidence and go forward positively.

Additionally as an ADDCA coach assessor (see addca.com) I also work with student coaches to build their coaching skills and attain their coaching credentials.
