ADHD Life & Business Coaching for clients across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, and the UK. Working with you on Zoom, no commute required.
You searched for someone local. Someone who understands what working life in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight actually looks like, between the school run, the train to Waterloo, and the inbox that never quits. You also wanted real expertise, not a productivity hack dressed up as coaching.
On the Solent, working everywhere
The Solent has long been one of my favourite stretches of water. I sail with friends, and we visit Gosport, Lymington, Portsmouth, and Bucklers Hard in the New Forest on the mainland. On the Isle of Wight, we stop at Yarmouth, Cowes, and Bembridge. Further afield, we cruise west to Poole and Weymouth, sometimes as far as Dartmouth in Devon, and east to Chichester in West Sussex. Every now and then we sail across the Channel to France or the Channel Islands.
Highlights of my sailing year include the Annual Round the Island Race, rallies with my sailing club, and the slower cruising weeks along the south coast in between. The water between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight has been a steady backdrop to my life away from work.
I first qualified as an adult ADHD coach in December 1999 and have kept training ever since: my Certified ADHD Life Coach (CALC) qualification with The International ADHD Coach Training Centre (iACT), my ICF-ACC credentialling, a recent Group Coaching course with Barefoot Coaching, and study in Malaga and Rotterdam.
I work with ADHD and AuDHD professionals across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, and beyond. My Hampshire and Isle of Wight clients have come from Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Lymington, Romsey, Hamble, Petersfield, the New Forest, Cowes, Newport, Ryde, and the towns and villages between. They have also come from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Lisbon.
We work on Zoom. Same depth, same coaching, less commuting.
You wanted local. You didn’t want the commute.
When you typed “ADHD coach Hampshire” or “ADHD coach Isle of Wight” into Google, you were looking for someone who understands the area. Someone who knows what a 90-minute commute to Waterloo does to your nervous system, what running a small business in Winchester really takes, what a school run in Southampton looks like before 8am.
You were not looking to add another car journey, train fare, or ferry trip to your week.
Virtual coaching gives you the local understanding without the travel. We meet on Zoom for 45 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, from your sofa or your office. The coaching that used to mean a drive into Southampton or a ferry to the mainland now happens in the time it takes you to make a cup of tea.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight clients I work with
Hampshire is home to some of the country’s most demanding professional environments. Many of my Hampshire clients are senior healthcare professionals, naval and defence professionals from the Portsmouth area, academics at the universities of Southampton and Portsmouth, and solicitors in Winchester or Southampton chambers. I also work with small business owners across the New Forest, the Hamble villages, and beyond.
On the Isle of Wight, my clients tend to be small business owners, freelance professionals, and people balancing the rhythms of island life with high-demand work.
And I work with entrepreneurs and solopreneurs running businesses across both counties, from consultancies in Winchester and the New Forest to creative studios in Southampton and small ventures dotted along the IoW coast. Different lines of work, same brain pattern: a sharp mind, a long to-do list, and a lifetime of being told to try harder.
If you are a partner at a Hampshire law firm whose admin is starting to slip, a clinician brilliant with patients and chaotic everywhere else, or a small business owner juggling everything yourself, my coaching is built for the way your brain works.
What the coaching looks like
Most clients start with a free 20-minute Discovery Session. We talk about what is going on in your life and your business, whether coaching is the right fit for you, and which programme suits where you are.
If we go ahead, sessions are 45 minutes on Zoom. Weekly works best, fortnightly works too. We meet in programmes so you have a clear container of time and a defined outcome at the end.
You can see the current programmes on my Services page.
Why my clients trust me
I have been an ADHD Life & Business Coach for 26+ years. I am ICF-ACC credentialled. I have ADHD myself, so the coaching comes from lived experience as well as training and qualifications.
I am not going to teach you a productivity hack you have tried and abandoned three times. I am going to help you build a way of working that fits the brain you actually have.
“I have created ways to have accountability for things I want to do but never get round to, and a new and effective system of managing my workload.”
Karen W., HR Professional
“My time with Linda has probably been one of the most transformational periods of my life. After being recently diagnosed, Linda helped me distinguish what was and wasn’t my ADHD and in the case of the former she taught me useful strategies to help me overcome or deal with them.”
