Frequently Asked Questions

People come to coaching for all sorts of reasons. Maybe you suspect you have ADHD or AuDHD but have not yet had a formal assessment. Maybe you have tried plenty of strategies on your own and nothing has stuck. Maybe you are doing well on the surface and quietly running on empty.

Coaching gives you the structure, strategies, and steady support to work with your brain instead of against it, so you can get where you want to go without burning out.

No to both. Some of my clients have a formal diagnosis, some are self-identifying, and some are still working it out. You are welcome either way.

Medication is entirely your choice. It works on symptoms like focus and impulsivity, while coaching builds the practical skills and daily habits around them, such as planning, organisation, and managing your time and energy. Coaching helps whether you are medicated, waiting for an assessment, or choosing not to take medication at all.

Yes. ADHD and AuDHD are my specialism, and I also work with people who are autistic or have dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, or other neurodivergent profiles.

The approach is always flexible, strengths-based, and shaped around you.

Yes. Many of my clients are professionals, founders, freelancers, and people running their own business who want to do good work without burning out. Some common things we work on:

• Time management and planning, so your day has structure without feeling rigid
• Getting started on the things that matter, instead of putting them off
• Working with your attention rather than fighting it
• Organisation and admin, with systems that actually stick
• Boundaries, protecting your energy, and knowing when to stop
• Confidence, especially for high achievers who quietly feel like they are not quite good enough
• Work-life balance, which for a neurodivergent brain is often about energy, not just time

Whether you are climbing the ladder, building something of your own, or simply want work to feel less overwhelming, we build strategies that fit you.

If your coaching is funded through Access to Work, we can focus on workplace challenges specifically.

It begins with a free Discovery Session, a relaxed conversation on Zoom to see whether we are a good fit and how coaching could help. If we decide to work together, you choose a six or twelve session package.

Early on, we use an executive function evaluation and some simple strengths and communication-style profiling, woven into the coaching. This helps us understand how your brain works best, so the strategies we build are shaped around you from the start.

From there, you build your own personal toolkit of habits, systems, and strategies that fit the way your brain actually works, for your whole life, not just your job.

You set the agenda around what matters most right now. I listen, ask questions, and we work on practical strategies together. Sessions are 45 minutes on Zoom.

To prepare, you will get a short form before each session: what went well, what is feeling hard, and what you would like to focus on. A few notes are plenty, no need to overthink it.

On the day, log in at the agreed time with a drink to hand, and we take it from there. At the end of each session we agree a few small things to try before the next one. These are experiments, not tasks to pass or fail. Some will work, some will not, and both tell us something useful.

Most people start with weekly sessions and move to fortnightly as things build. The whole process usually runs over three to six months, depending on your goals. The aim is always for you to feel confident carrying on by yourself.

Between sessions, a quick email with a win or a question is always welcome. If something needs a proper conversation, we pick it up at your next session.

As soon as you start, you get your own private client area on the website, where everything lives in one place so nothing gets lost.

Inside, you can:

• Book, reschedule, and see your sessions
• Fill in your short prep form before each session
• Look back over your forms and assessment results whenever you like
• Dip into an ADHD and AuDHD toolkit of practical resources, handouts, and tools to use between sessions

It is designed to be calm and simple to use, the opposite of one more thing to keep on top of.

Once you have joined a coaching programme, you get your own online booking calendar to choose times that suit you. It sends reminders and lets you reschedule up to 24 hours before a session. My working hours are Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm UK time.

Payment is taken securely in advance through Stripe, from your client account or the services page. If your coaching is funded by your employer or another third party, we can arrange payment by Stripe or BACS invoice. Gift vouchers are coming soon, so someone can buy coaching for a person they care about.

Yes. I provide ADHD job coaching through the UK Government’s Access to Work scheme, though availability varies. If you run your own business, coaching may also count as a legitimate business expense, which means you can start straight away.

You can read more in my Access to Work guide.

Yes. I work with English-speaking clients all over the world, including the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Because coaching is on Zoom, where you are is not a barrier, we just line up our time zones.

My booking system shows both UK time and your local time, so finding a slot that suits us both is easy. Prices are in pounds, and your card handles the conversion automatically, so paying from overseas is simple.

Payments are taken securely through Stripe, the same trusted system used by businesses worldwide, so your card details are encrypted and never stored by me. Over the years I have worked with expats, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, legal and medical professionals, and military personnel posted overseas. The programmes are the same wherever you are.

Yes. I use a tool called Fathom during our Zoom calls. It records and transcribes the session, then sends a short summary of the key points and agreed actions, so we can stay in the conversation rather than stopping to write things down.

A few things worth knowing:

• It is GDPR-compliant and stores your data securely
• Only I can see the recordings and summaries
• I review and lightly edit every summary before sending it to you myself
• It only sees the display name you use in Zoom, which you can change
• Recordings are summarised and then permanently deleted each month, and you can ask for a copy or early deletion at any time

Using Fathom is entirely optional, and you can ask me to switch it off for any session.

Yes, in a careful and limited way, and always with your knowledge. Behind the scenes, I use AI for admin and to help refine written materials, which is a real help to me as someone with dyslexia and dyscalculia.

It never influences the coaching itself, which is always human-led. The one place you will see it is the optional Fathom notetaker for your session summaries, which I cover just above.

You can read more about how I use AI.

Yes. Everything you share in coaching is private. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and fully comply with GDPR. Your information is encrypted and securely stored.
