My Journey with ADHD: From Struggling to Thriving

For most of my life, I felt like an outsider, someone who thought differently, felt deeply, and couldn’t always follow the paths that seemed to work so easily for others. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ADHD that things started to make sense. Understanding my neurodivergence was the turning point, not just in how I worked, but in how I saw myself.

Rather than trying to “fix” myself to fit in, I began to explore how I could work with my brain, not against it. Through reflective practice, positive psychology, and years of personal development, I gradually unlocked my strengths and learned how to manage the challenges. More importantly, I found contentment and self-acceptance in a world that often expects conformity over creativity.

This consultancy is the result of that journey. It’s my way of using both lived experience and professional expertise to help others, whether they’re individuals navigating difference or organisations trying to create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive. I believe in the power of understanding, compassion, and evidence-informed practice to drive real change, and I bring that belief to everything I do.
