I struggled with school growing up—it always felt hard, and I constantly wished I was 'brighter' or could remember things that seemed so easy for others.

Despite the huge challenges I found while studying, I pushed through, earned a degree in education and a diploma in teaching, and dedicated much of my life to teaching in the UK, New Zealand, and most recently, Australia.

As a teacher, I often connected deeply with kids labeled as “the naughty ones” or those who had learning difficulties. I think I could relate to them in a way that made empathy come naturally.

It wasn’t until my mid-40s, when my teenage son was diagnosed with ADHD, that I began learning more about ADHD myself. That’s when it hit me—I shared many of the strengths and challenges he showed.

I realised I’d been in a constant state of desperately trying to 'keep up' finding organisation tough, struggling to remember what I’d just been told (unless I found it interesting), and facing challenges with focus in meetings or certain conversations.

These were just a few of the struggles I’d navigated for years.

But ADHD also gifted me with strengths...

—creative thinking, a knack for putting others at ease, a natural curiosity about people, empathy, and a good sense of humour. These traits have shaped my career and my ability to connect with others deeply.

After 25 years as a passionate and dedicated school teacher, I’ve made an exciting pivot in my career. Driven by my desire to help students and families in a new, meaningful way, I spent a year studying with an American-based program to become a certified ADHD Life Coach.

This shift felt like a natural next step, blending my years of teaching experience with my deepening knowledge of ADHD.

Now, I get to work with teens, women, and families in a way that feels both familiar and fresh—helping them find strategies that work and uncover strengths they may not even know they have. It’s been an incredible journey, and I couldn’t be more excited to make a difference in this new way!

Empowering teens with ADHD to live their best lives!

I initially started coaching women with ADHD, and as I listened to their stories, I noticed the challenges they faced and the way they spoke about themselves. This sparked a deep passion in me to work with teens, giving them a chance to start with self-compassion and understanding from a young age.

My goal is to help teens reduce years of negative self-talk by building self-acceptance early on. I truly believe that when teens receive one-on-one coaching or ADHD-specific support, they’re in a better position to set themselves up for everyday wins, develop a positive mindset, and improve their mental health.

Equipping teens with the right tools and strategies empowers them to approach challenges with resilience and confidence, creating a foundation that will benefit them well into adulthood.

Empowering adults with ADHD to live their best lives!

As you now know, I received my ADHD diagnosis in my mid-forties, and it was a huge relief! For the first time, I felt like so much about my life made sense. Working with an ADHD life coach helped me create significant and positive changes, empowering me to manage ADHD in a way that worked with my strengths. This experience inspired me to start coaching women with ADHD. I find this work especially fulfilling because I relate personally to their journey.

At the same time, I’m incredibly optimistic about their potential. I know that with the right support, they can build self-confidence and make challenges that once felt overwhelming much more manageable.

"Having faced similar struggles, I genuinely understand and empathise with what they’re going through."

Coaching adults through their unique ADHD experiences, and watching them realise their strengths, has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work, I offer compassion and support and absolutely NO judgment!
