About me
Neurodiversity-affirming support for children, teens and parents
I'm Abby, mum of two boys, and a certified ADHD coach. My eldest was diagnosed with ADHD at 12, and I was diagnosed very recently myself, although it came as no surprise.
I didn't come to this work through a planned career change. I came to it because I needed answers for my son and, along the way, for myself. Navigating school struggles, diagnosis, decisions around medication, and the emotional impact ADHD can have on children and families showed me just how overwhelming this journey can feel. I get it from both sides: the guilt, the overwhelm, the 2am worry, and the relief when things finally start to make sense.
Who I help
Parents
You're exhausted. You're carrying guilt you can't quite explain. You might not even have a diagnosis for your child yet, you just know something feels harder than it should. I give you a space to breathe, to be heard, and to stop blaming yourself. Because when you're regulated, your child feels it, and that changes everything.
For children under 10, coaching works best with you at the centre. We build the systems and emotional understanding together, and your child can be included in specific sessions when that would help.
Teens & Young People
For teens and young people, we work on the stuff that's actually stressing them out: revision skills, memory techniques, organisation, and building confidence. We also look at things like rejection sensitivity (RSD) and why friendships and social situations can feel so intense. They learn how their brain works and why that's not something to fix, but something to work with.
Families
ADHD rarely affects just one person. I often work with more than one member of the same family in parallel, a parent and teenager for example. Once I've established individual work with each person, we can bring people together in joint sessions when that would help.
I am open about my own lived experience because I know how powerful it can be to feel understood. At the same time, my focus always remains on the young person and their family. I work with clear boundaries, prioritise safeguarding, and respect the autonomy of every client I work with.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't even need a diagnosis. You just need someone in your corner.

Coaching is not therapy, and I'll always be honest about that. If I think you or your child would benefit from therapeutic support, I'll help you find the right path, whether that's alongside coaching or instead of it.
My philosophy
Neurodiversity-affirming
ADHD is a difference, not a disorder. I help people work with their brain, not against it.
Strengths-based
Everyone with ADHD has gifts. I help you find them and use them, while building strategies for the tricky bits.
Family-centered
ADHD doesn't just affect one person in the house. My approach takes the whole household into account, working with parents and young people individually first, and bringing people together in joint sessions when that helps.
Practical & actionable
Real strategies for real life. No generic advice, we find what actually works for you.
