A place where neurodivergent adults feel heard, understood and supported to live fulfilled, sustainable lives
I’m Kate. I support and coach neurodivergent adults (ADHD & AuDHD) who’ve lost their way through late diagnosis, mental health labels, stigma, chronic overwhelm and burnout. People who’ve masked for so long,they no longer trust their own judgement, know who they are, where they fit in, or know how to end this cycle.
Endless guilt and shame. A deep sense of inadequacy despite trying so hard.
You’ve been told you’re too much, too sensitive, or not quite enough
Always questioning your choices, your direction
You apply yourself, but not sustainably, and end up exhausted and feeling judged
You know what you want to be doing, yet doing it feels unnaturally hard
It’s not just motivation or focus. It’s starting. Finishing. The “simple” things that never feel simple
Why I Do This Work
I get it. I’m ADHD (strongly suspected AuDHD), misdiagnosed for years as anxious, depressed, “stressed”. I’ve sat in meetings being told to be more resilient, to have better boundaries with my time, to stop over-committing; whilst working inside a system (the NHS) that quietly relies on burnout and goodwill. I now see this wasn’t the best fit for me and my brain!
I realised I needed flexibility and autonomy to do this work properly. To offer mental health support and coaching that truly puts people first, without losing myself in the process.
How I Can Help
I offer bespoke, neuro-affirming support and coaching shaped around you. I draw on over 20 years in mental health, private therapy and ADHD practice but I don’t use rigid models. People don’t come in standard forms.
My work is for those who already know they could do better if they were heard, validated and understood. If they had the right tools, wisdom and support to discover what actually works for them. I’m experienced, knowledgeable and come with practical tools and techniques.
This isn’t about thinking your way out of ADHD (you’d have done that already, if it was that easy). It’s about strategies, accountability and celebrating real wins.
Together, we build ways of living and working that are emotionally, practically, and sustainably right for you.

What Working With Me Is Like
Our work starts with being truly heard and understood.
Once I understand how your neurodivergence shows up for you, we shape the journey together. There’s only one you, with your own mix of experiences, strengths, and challenges.
We start where it matters most to you: Confidence? Rejection sensitivity? Procrastination? Burnout?
That’s where we begin.
It’s about:
Feeling understood
Building awareness
and self-trust
Finding ways forward
that fit your life
Clients often tell me it feels like being understood for the first time.
Kate has given me the tools to ensure that even between sessions, I am able to focus and further the work. My attitude to my problems flipped completely. She is completely invested in my journey and works alongside me to ensure I get the most from each session.

A Different Approach
I don’t sell fixed packages or big upfront commitments. I trust you to own your journey, even when it gets hard. Especially when it gets hard. That’s where real growth happens.
That’s when I show up: reminding, reinforcing, supporting you until new ways of working feel natural.
You don’t have to do this alone, even on the darkest days. But you do have to reach out to get started.
I could not recommend Kate enough as a coach. Her guidance and support have helped me grow in ways I never imagined possible. She is kind, warm, gentle, and deeply understanding, and she consistently provides encouragement that builds confidence and clarity. Working with Kate has been a truly supportive and empowering experience.
