ADHD & Career Development
Build a working life that fits how your mind works.
One-to-one career coaching for adults with ADHD who are ready to stop squeezing themselves into the wrong shape at work, and start choosing what fits.
Whether you are changing direction, stepping up, starting something of your own or rethinking what work means for you.
Where You May Be Now
You learn a new role fast, love it for a year, and then the spark goes once it becomes routine.
You are at your best in a crisis or a fresh project, and drained by the weekly report.
You were promoted for your ideas and energy, and now spend most of your day on admin, emails and meetings.
You have been told “you have so much potential” more times than you can count.
You look back at your CV and see either a pattern you don’t yet understand, or a string of fresh starts you are tired of explaining.
You wonder whether the problem is the job, the organisation, the profession or simply that no one ever set work up around the way you think.
That last question is where we start.
Where Coaching Helps
Changing direction. You know something needs to change but not yet what, or you have an idea and want to test it properly before you leap.
Stepping up. A senior or leadership role where the job now asks for more planning, delegating and steady output, and less of what you were good at.
Going your own way. Self-employment or a business, built around your energy and attention rather than against them.
Big transitions. Redundancy, returning after time away, a late diagnosis that makes you see your career differently, or moving towards retirement.
How We Work
See the whole picture - We map where you are: your strengths, values and needs, and the conditions in which your attention and energy work best. That includes what interests you, what drains you and what kind of environment lets you do your best work.
Understand the pattern -We look at what has happened in your career so far and why. What lit you up, what wore you down, and the assumptions you may have absorbed about what work should look like.
Choose your direction - We explore your options: shaping your current role, a new sector, a career change or self-employment. Including the adjustments that would make the most difference, and whether and how to talk to your employer about them.
Test it in real life - Research, conversations with people already doing the work, small experiments, applications or changes in your current job. Each step is information, not a test you can fail.
Clarity comes with action.
-
A clearer sense of the work that suits you, and why
-
Knowing your conditions for doing good work, and asking for them
-
Choices made from self-trust rather than from boredom, fear or other people’s expectations
-
A story about your career you understand, and can tell with confidence in an interview or a conversation
-
A next step you can actually take
What is Possible
Complimentary Consultation
This free 30-minute call is for both of us to check whether coaching is the right fit.
We will talk about what you are looking for and what you need, how I work, and what working together would look like in practice. You can ask anything you would like to know.
It is not a coaching session. It is a clear, honest conversation, so you can decide whether this feels right. No pressure either way.
