I get to know you first. I want to know who you are, what your vibe is, and what makes you tick (and what gives you the ick). Once I know what lights you up we can use this to spark a flame in your regular, day-to-day chores and activities that you might struggle with. We work on one thing at a time. We practise together before you take your new skills out in to your real life. I value your strengths and leverage these at all times.

Therapy often explores past experiences and emotions, while coaching is future-focused. We work together on setting goals, finding strategies, and creating positive routines that actually stick.

The cost of each session is roughly the same as a private tutoring session with an experienced and highly qualified teacher (me). Packages of four sessions are discounted.

When I work with teenagers, I insist on the family getting involved too so that everyone feels confident and equipped to support the ADHDer. I help families understand and interpret medical or school documents, prepare for and join in school meetings, build positive partnerships with the young person’s teachers and school, and provide strategies to support them at home.

I recommend having at least four sessions, so we can dig deep and make change. The little seeds I plant with you take time to grow. You leave my sessions with a plan to practise one skill. I check in with you to follow up, and then at our next session, come back to add to your toolbox.

No. While ADHD is a focus area, I also support people who are autistic, dyslexic, or simply looking to better understand their unique brain and learning style. My coaching is neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive, based in neuroscience, and collaborative.

Most sessions run for 1 hour. Sessions can be done face-to-face at a studio in Newcastle, or online via Zoom. Weekly or fortnightly sessions work best to maintain momentum, but we can adjust depending on your needs.

Any neurodivergent adult or teenager, or their family, who is seeking support and advocacy.

Absolutely they can. I’ve spoken at Independent secondary schools, primary schools and conferences. I always dig down to the core of your needs and create my presentations to meet them head on.
