Hi, I’m Heather

I’m an ADHD and neurodiversity coach, training facilitator, and speaker. I’m also a lover of dogs, maker of far too many brews, and a bit of a storyteller.

I’ve been working in the coaching world for almost 10 years, supporting people in understanding themselves better, building confidence, and making meaningful changes in their lives.

But my work isn’t just based on what I’ve learned through coaching. It’s also shaped by my own experience.

From a young age, I struggled with my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety as a teenager, and things became increasingly difficult as I moved into the working world and navigated all the other stuff that comes with being a human.

My self-esteem and sense of self were pretty much non-existent. I’d swing between overachieving and completely burning myself out, then wonder why I couldn’t seem to find a happy medium. I was very good at pushing through. Not quite so good at knowing when to stop.

I tried everything. Therapy. Coaching. Spiritual practices. Self-help. You name it, I probably gave it a go.

Some things helped, but nothing seemed to really stick. I kept finding myself back on the same exhausting loop of setbacks, self-doubt, and wondering why I couldn't seem to do things that appeared to come so easily to everyone else.

Then I discovered ADHD.

Suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense.

Eventually, I received my own diagnosis, and it gave me a completely different lens through which to understand myself. Not as someone who was failing, lazy, difficult, or somehow not trying hard enough – but as someone whose brain worked differently.

That experience has had a huge influence on the way I coach.

I believe that being understood matters. Particularly when you've spent years trying to fit yourself into a world that wasn't necessarily designed with your brain in mind.

That’s why my coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. I use a multi-modality approach and draw on different tools, techniques, and perspectives depending on the person sitting in front of me.

Because you are not a template. And neither is your brain.

Whether I’m working one-to-one with a teenager or adult, delivering neurodiversity awareness training, or speaking to a group, my aim is the same: to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, practical and, whenever possible, a little bit fun.

I’m not here to fix you.

I’m here to help you understand yourself, work with your brain rather than against it, and discover what’s possible when you stop trying to be someone you’re not.

And there will probably be a brew involved.
