Coaching is entirely about YOU, but in trying to decide what type of coach is right for you, you might want to know a little more about me…
For most of my adult life I didn’t have the words to explain what I was experiencing.
At school, I was an A-student, but my work tended to be last-minute and I always felt like an outsider. I earned my BSc in Physics and Applied Maths, followed by a Masters degree in European Business with French before embarking on a career of over 20 years in the telecoms industry; mainly as a corporate employee and then, freelancing. Later, I also spent several years in FinTech.
Others described me as competent and capable, ‘a safe pair of hands’, while on the inside I frequently felt overwhelmed. Keeping this hidden was not helpful.
When I started doing research to support my own children, I began to recognise myself in what I was reading.
This late discovery of my own neurodivergence genuinely explained and helped me reframe my experiences.
My hyperfocus on topics I found interesting while procrastinating with simple admin tasks. How my emotions, from joy to rejection, felt so intense. The exhaustion of trying to ‘mirror’ those around me. My ability to deliver a complex work project, while I struggled to be on time when meeting friends and judge how long it would take to do household chores.
My decision to retrain, initially as an ADHD coach, allows me to offer other women – especially professional women and mums – what I wish I’d had: someone who truly gets it and won’t pathologise your differences. Someone who can guide you in designing better ways of being for your whole nervous system.
I bring the rigour of my professional background, the depth of my lived experience, my training and the latest evidence-based knowledge alongside a genuine commitment to meet you exactly where you are, to help you move forward with whatever you’re navigating.
