About me

From Stuck to Thriving: My ADHD Journey

Every day felt like a battle. Endless to-do lists, projects half-finished, meetings where I'd zone out during mundane discussions. I was smart, capable, driven - but something always felt... off.

Spreadsheets that bored me became impossible mountains. Repetitive tasks drained my energy completely. I could deliver international projects and speak fluent French, but ask me to file an expense report? Complete shutdown.

My breakthrough came unexpectedly during lockdown, watching my youngest son struggle with online learning. His challenges mirrored my own lifelong experiences - taking ages to complete tasks, constantly misplacing things, an internal monologue of self-doubt.

Diagnosed with ADHD at 53, everything suddenly made sense.

Those workplace struggles weren't about laziness or lack of capability. My brain simply works differently. I'm brilliant in a crisis, deeply empathetic, incredibly creative - but traditional work systems were never designed for brains like mine.

Now, I've learned to work with my neurodivergent brain, not against it. I've developed strategies that transform what used to feel like weaknesses into powerful strengths.

As an ICF-qualified coach who's walked this path, I don't just understand ADHD professionally - I live it personally. My approach is simple: practical, no-nonsense strategies that help you thrive exactly as you are.

Tired of fighting your brain? Ready to work with it and actually get stuff done? Let’s talk. 

Why I Do This Work

My own late diagnosis wasn't just a label - it was a liberation. I realised my brain isn't broken. It's brilliantly different.

Now, I'm committed to helping other late-diagnosed professionals see their ADHD not as a limitation, but as their greatest asset. With over 25 years’ experience in learning and development, across industries such as rail, engineering, and automotive, I’ve seen first-hand the value that diversity brings to organisations.

As an ICF-certified coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Executive Functions Coach, I bring a results-focused, down-to-earth approach to coaching and training. My work is trusted by professionals and organisations alike to deliver measurable, meaningful change.

My approach is simple: pragmatic, straightforward strategies that work with your brain, not against it.
