What do you love most about your job?
What I love most is seeing real change happen in real time. Whether it’s a leader finally working with their ADHD brain instead of against it, or an HR team shifting from box-ticking to meaningful inclusion, I get to help people cut through the noise, build confidence and lead with clarity. It’s purposeful, practical, and it genuinely changes lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
As a neurodivergent person, father to neurodivergent children and part of a proudly neurodiverse family, this work is personal. I started my business because I was tired of seeing organisations get it wrong when it comes to inclusion, leadership and neurodiversity. My lived experience, combined with over 25 years of experience in HR and coaching, has driven me to create something different. I wanted to do work that challenges, educates and actually changes things. Running my own business gives me the platform to do just that.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I bring more than theory. I combine 25+ years in HR, leadership and coaching with real lived experience as a neurodivergent professional, parent and advocate. I’ve worked with organisations of all sizes, from startups to global brands, helping them shift culture, retain talent and reduce risk. I don’t tick boxes or sugar-coat. I get results by being clear, grounded and focused on what actually works.
Real Coaching. Real People. Real Results.

ADHD+ Coaching & Mentoring
I provide specialist ADHD+ coaching and mentoring for professionals, senior leaders and business owners, with a focus on sustainable performance, clarity and wellbeing.

I offer:
One-to-one executive coaching for ADHD+ professionals and leaders
Group coaching to build confidence, executive function and team cohesion
Mentoring for internal coaches or neurodivergent staff networks

My keynotes combine lived experience with strategic insight, helping organisations understand the real-world impact of neurodivergence and how to enable success, not just compliance.
