You know what you need to do. You just can't make yourself do it.
You've tried the planners, the apps, the self-help books. They worked for a week (maybe two) then joined the graveyard of abandoned systems.
You've spent years wondering why everything seems harder for you than for everyone else. Why you can handle a crisis but can't reply to a simple email. Why you have so many ideas but so few finished projects.
You've been called lazy, inconsistent, "not living up to your potential." Eventually, you started believing it.
What if none of that was true?
I'm Mike
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 39 and Autism a couple of years later.
Before that, I thought I was broken. I failed so many university modules they banned me from studying. I tried every self-help strategy going (and plenty of self medicating). None of it worked—until I understood why it wasn't working.
Coaching changed that. Not the strategies themselves, but the emotional work underneath. The self-compassion. The letting go of shame. The accepting how my brain actually works.
Years later, I went back to university and got a First in Psychology and Counselling.
Same brain. Different approach.
What works for me won't work for you. But I can help you figure out what does—and build the foundation that makes it sustainable.

What most ADHD advice gets wrong.
Jumping straight into strategies doesn't work!
You have to address what's underneath. When you've spent years beating yourself up, no strategy will stick.
You can't organise your way out of shame.
You can't hack your way past self-doubt.
The emotional stuff isn't the soft stuff. It's the foundation.
That's where I start. Not with productivity hacks, but with practicing self-compassion, uncovering your strengths, and helping you accept how your brain actually works.
Get that right, and the strategies finally have somewhere to land.
Coaching won't make ADHD vanish.
But it can transform how you live with it
Imagine being able to
Stop the internal war
and start working with your brain instead of against it
Learn to trust yourself again
by actually achieving things, not just planning them
Build systems that actually fit
because what works for neurotypical brains probably won't work for yours
Uncover your strengths
not just your struggles
Navigate overwhelm
without shutting down
Who I work with:
I work with late diagnosed and freshly realised ADHD and AuDHD adults who:
-
Know they have potential but can't seem to access it
-
Whose ADHD seems to impact so many areas of life they don't know where to start
-
Are ready to do the work - not just looking for another quick fix
If you want a calm and thoughtful space to explore what works for you - we will work well together.
How it works:
We meet weekly or fortnightly via video call for 60-minute sessions.
Between sessions you'll work on small, manageable actions. No homework pressure - just experiments to see what fits.
