Coaching for adults

ADHD and executive functioning coaching for adults.

You know what you want to get done and even how to do it, yet you still find yourself not being able to do it.

One-to-one, neurodivergent-friendly coaching grounded in executive functioning and behavioural science. We find what works for you.

Is this for you?

Does this sound like you?

  1. You know exactly what needs doing, but can't get yourself to start.

  2. You don't fully trust yourself or your own judgement, even when you know you're capable.

  3. From the outside it looks like you're coping. It doesn't feel that way inside.

  4. You're doing well in some areas, and quietly struggling in others.

  5. You often feel like you're getting things wrong or misunderstanding things, and you're not sure why.

  6. You're constantly feeling behind, like you're running out of time to do what you want to do.

What we work on

Executive functioning and behavioural science.

Coaching works across two areas: the skills your brain uses to get things done, and the patterns behind how you respond. We start wherever your week needs it most.

Executive functioning
Starting and finishing tasksBreaking work into steps you can actually begin, and getting things over the line.
Time and prioritiesSeeing time more clearly, planning realistically and deciding what comes first.
Working memorySystems that hold information for you, so your brain does not have to.
Motivation and attentionUsing interest, urgency and structure to get going and stay with it.
Adapting when plans changeRoutines that can flex without everything falling apart.
Behavioural science
Identifying your triggersNoticing the situations, demands and patterns that knock you off course.
Self-regulation skillsPractical ways to calm, refocus and recover when things feel like too much.
Emotional regulationUnderstanding big reactions and building responses that work for you.
Habits that stickSmall changes to your environment and routine, reinforced until they last.
Speaking up for what you needKnowing which adjustments help you, and how to ask for them at work.

Who we've worked with

  • Early career professionals
  • Founders and entrepreneurs
  • People in high-pressure corporate roles
  • Other coaches
  • Adults at every stage of life

Before coaching

  • Knowing what to do, but struggling to start or follow through
  • Working twice as hard to keep up, and keeping it hidden
  • Feeling behind, or getting things wrong without knowing why
  • Second-guessing their own judgement

After coaching

  • Big tasks broken into steps they can actually start
  • Structure and systems that hold, even in busy weeks
  • Calmer and clearer about what matters
  • Boundaries at work they feel OK keeping
  • More trust in themselves and their own value

Your NBI Brain Profile

Why we start with you.

Most advice assumes a brain you do not have. Before we set a single goal, your NBI Brain Profile maps how you naturally prefer to think and work.

  • How you solve problemsWhere your thinking flows easily, and where it takes more effort.
  • How you focusWhat holds your attention, and what drains it.
  • How you communicateHow you take in information and how you share it.
  • How you decideWhat you rely on when you make choices.

We go through your profile together in your first or second session, then keep coming back to it throughout coaching, so every strategy fits the way you already think. Profiles are prepared by Lauren Kyte, Certified NBI Practitioner.

In their words

I'm so much more calm, clear and selective about the things that matter.

ADHD coaching client

I'd tried therapy before… my issue was not being able to break things down into achievable chunks… I've become better at setting boundaries and knowing that it's OKAY to do so.

ADHD coaching client

She helped me learn a lot about navigating the work environment and about myself. She is knowledgeable and empathic, providing useful worksheets and setting tangible tasks.

Questions

Before you book.

How pricing works

Sessions start from £150 per session. We agree everything on the free call, with no obligation.

Is coaching therapy?

No. Coaching is practical and forward-facing: we build systems, strategies and self-understanding for your actual week. If what you need is therapeutic support, we will say so honestly and help you find the right person.

Do I need a diagnosis?

No. Coaching is for adults who are diagnosed, self-identified or still working it out.

Why start with an NBI Brain Profile?

Most advice assumes a brain you do not have. The profile maps how you naturally think, so the strategies we build fit you.

What is Access to Work?

A UK government scheme that can fund support, including coaching, for people in employment. We will help you apply.

How much does it cost?

Sessions start from £150 per session. We agree everything on the free call.

What if we are not a fit?

We will tell you honestly on the call, and point you to someone better suited if we can.

Ready when you are

It starts with a conversation.

Thirty minutes, online, no charge. You tell us what is going on and what you have already tried. We tell you honestly whether we can help and what that would look like.
