Hi, I'm Charlie

As a professional ADHD coach, my passion is to aid children to navigate through childhood, finding their paths, whilst discovering their own unique and individual directions. I am a fiercely compassionate advocate for others, and I strongly believe that there is no place for the term ‘disorder’ when it comes to ADHD – it is a brain difference. Here was born the term ‘brilliant brains work differently’.

My drive to support children comes from a strong belief in early intervention. Sadly, the general way of the modern world is not get geared for neurodivergent children – metrics, testing and system requirements can leave a child with ADHD believing they are not good enough, that they are too forgetful, too lazy, too slow, too loud, being told they move too much. I work with children to reframe the negative words that have landed on their ears, the negative self talk that creeps in at an early age, often unnoticed. My biggest goal is to ensure is that every child has a full appreciation of their strengths, and understanding that sometimes things maybe a little harder but a firm belief that harder is ok. Together we will find a solution to calm the waves and the feeling of chaos.

Personal life experiences have afforded me an understanding of the difficulties children struggling with ADHD face. My own insights aligned with the training with International Coach Training Centre has provided me a strong platform of knowledge and compassion to help support other families.

Professionally, my career has spanned a background in youth services, restorative justice, adoption and fostering services, and more recently education services. I have studied towards a counselling diploma, and most recently have completed and accredited as an ADHD Coach with the International Coaching Federation.

My mission is to help your child understand their ADHD, understand how ADHD uniquely moulds them, and to work alongside your child to identify their strengths so that together we can then create lasting strategies to empower and build confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

How can ADHD coaching help my child?

ADHD coaching provides personalised strategies to help your child manage focus, organisation, and emotional regulation. It equips them with tools to navigate school, friendships, and daily challenges with confidence, reducing stress for both them and you.

How do sessions work, and how often will my child need them?

Sessions are tailored to your child’s needs and usually take place weekly or fortnightly. Coaching can be short-term to address specific challenges or ongoing for continued support through key transitions like starting secondary school or university.

My child struggles with motivation—will coaching help with this?

Absolutely! Many children with ADHD struggle with motivation due to difficulties with executive function. Coaching helps them break tasks into manageable steps, find systems that work for their brain, and build confidence in their abilities. Let me know if you'd like any tweaks!

What’s the difference between ADHD coaching and therapy?

Coaching focuses on practical strategies for day-to-day challenges like time management, study skills, and self-advocacy, while therapy often explores emotions and deeper behavioural patterns. Coaching is action-oriented, helping your child develop lifelong skills.

Will I be involved in the coaching process?

Yes! While sessions are student-focused, I also provide guidance for parents, helping you support your child effectively without overwhelming them. We work together to create a consistent and supportive environment at home.

How long does it take to see progress?

Every child is different, but many parents notice small changes within a few sessions. As your child builds new habits and strategies, their confidence and independence grow over time. Coaching provides long-term skills that help them navigate school and life more effectively.
