About Me
In 2017 I was made redundant from my job after I was unable to perform the position I had filled for 11 years. I felt broken and alone and I did not how to fix all that was wrong with me. No matter how hard I tried or what I did, nothing seemed to help. THEN, my son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29. Our GP thought I should be tested also and at the ripe old age of 55, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Looking back on my schooling, early life and experiences, this diagnosis made so much sense. AND, along with the diagnosis came hope. There was a focus, something I could investigate, dissect and apply to my chaotic mind, house and life.
My work experience includes Job Search Trainer for Job Network Agencies, Human Resources, Personnel Officer and Payroll for Telstra, Trainer for Registered Training Organisations, Service Officer/Ministerial Writer at Centrelink and Resume and Selection Criteria writer in my own business. I liked people, I loved helping people. Putting all this together with ADHD, I discovered ADHD coaching and my new direction, career and passion was born. I engaged an ADHD coach of my own (thanks Michele Toner!) when I was studying and was astounded at the difference it made to my understanding of ADHD, my ability to get things done and my confidence.
My Approach
I provide a non-judgemental, safe space for adults affected by ADHD, to understand and capitalise on their strengths and develop practical strategies to overcome any ADHD challenges they may face in their day-to-day life. Using a client-led approach we work together to identify what is most problematic for you or the goal you would like to work on.
I can help you understand what ADHD is and specifically how it manifests for in your life. I will help you to identify your strengths and to implement practical strategies to minimise any negative impact you are experiencing.
I will work in step with any other helping professionals you may be seeing to actually help you focus on and implement the changes necessary in your day-to-day life you identify. The process is led by you so we can identify goals and specific strategies and tactics you can use to achieve them as well as support you through the process.
I was not diagnosed with ADHD until my 50s so I can relate to how it feels to receive an ADHD diagnosis as a mature adult (well-mature-ISH). This also means I have developed a keen sense of humour along the way (despite the anxiety and depression) so we can also occasionally have some laughs together at my lame jokes.
