Hi, this is me, Astrid here - WAITLIST

In 2017, I started working with my own ADHD coach. After a promotion and a job change, I realised that coaching and support for people like me in mid-career, millennial professionals was nearly impossible to find. So I decided to become that person for others in 2019.

I studied at ADDCA and Animas, and I'm currently completing my HR degree at CIPD. With two coaching qualifications certified and accredited by the ICF, I've now supported hundreds of mid-career professionals in the creative and tech industries. See my accreditations on my linkedIn page

Today, I also consult with FTSE 500 companies on internal neuro-inclusion strategies and work with tech firms to make their products more neuro-inclusive. My approach to coaching is different because my diagnosis happened over a decade ago. What I've learned is that environment and self-trust are at the heart of meaningful support, especially ADHD support with a non judgemental and understanding lens. I do find it important to share here that coaching is not the bee-all and end-all. This may just be a small piece to your puzzle of tiny changes and insights that help make it feel lighter and easier to move forward.

What coaching with me looks like here

Coaching is a space of discovery, not advice. Self-discovery is more powerful than any advice anyone could give you. Your journey is deeply personal and self-created, with my role being to highlight, question, and challenge what you bring to our sessions.

People often enter coaching with a desire to change their whole life at once. That never really happens, instead we start to uncover smaller sometimes tiny steps forward with way more impact. They leave knowing how to coach themselves through different levels of change and see a huge difference. That's where self-trust is built, and that's the work I do.

Finding the right coach

If you're looking for a coach, I suggest speaking to several and understanding who feels like the right fit. If you've been referred by a friend or colleague, please let me know.

Find the feedback of clients here

I know most of us want to get a sense of things before committing. That's why I host free Monday gathering sessions where we come together and support each other, sign up here. I'm also making my dream come true by writing a book, and I send out chapter letters each month. If signing up for coaching isn't what feels right yet, sign up for the letters by messaging me.

Coaching is never a replacement for mental health support. If you are struggling with your mental health, my advice is to reach out to specialists in this field. If you are struggling financially, please consider many charities who offer guidance for free, coaching support and or therapeutic support where needed.

One final thought

Make a diagnosis an invitation. An inquiry to dive a little deeper, to adapt life to your strengths and values, and to build a day-to-day that fuels you with the right people around you and the right path ahead of you.

Thank you for reading.
