After years of struggling with my own mental health, consistently seeking help and being diagnosed with various conditions that didn’t quite tell the whole story, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 32.

At last, I felt like I had some answers, and it opened up a whole new understanding and opportunity to be myself.

For so long, I thought I was broken; “Why couldn’t I stick to anything? Why did I get bored easily, and struggle with keeping a job? Why couldn’t I just sit down and focus on one thing at a time?!”

Even though it was a relief to have this new language, it also came with excruciating regret, anger, and grief for, “what could have been”. My personal experience of diagnosis was long, stressful, and led me to start an Instagram page to learn more about ADHD, share my experiences, and advocate alongside the ever-growing neurodivergent community.

Through finding ADHD coaching, I rediscovered myself for who I am. Unique, resilient, more than capable, and I felt inspired.

The desire I felt to help other people like me was strong, and when I feel truly passionate about something, I like to try it out. I initially completed a Life Coaching course and a short ADHD course during lockdown to see if I’d like it, and I LOVED it! This spurred me on to take an ADHD-specific Coaching course with the industry leader, ADDCA, and it’s been incredible.

Now I’m a practicing coach myself, with 200 + hours working with ADHD and neurodivergent clients, and it’s the most rewarding job I have ever had (and I’ve had many)!
