Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Charlotte, your ADHD coach!

I’m a certified ADHD coach and content creator for the creative industries, with ADHD.

As your coach, I’ll be a curious, compassionate and knowledgeable expert joining you on your ADHD journey. I help people in the creative industries who are late-diagnosed, or simply ready to get expert support with ADHD.

My Journey

After 10 years in advertising and media, in 2021 I discovered I had ADHD aged 32. In true ADHD style I went ALL IN on understanding my brain and after going on my own ADHD diagnosis journey pivoted my career to support to others.

I don’t do things half-heartedly, so I made sure I was fully qualified to give coaching and guidance:

  • I’ve completed 115 hours International Coach Federation training with ADDCA - an  ICF specialist ADHD coaching school

  • Achieved my AACC ICF level 1 coaching certification

  • Completed additional coaching certification with ADHD Works and was an in-house coach supervised by Leanne Maskell

  • Over 400+ hours coaching neurodivergent clients

  • Consulted with Publicis Groupe, training the HR team & hosting ADHD awareness sessions with one of the biggest advertising groups

  • Hired as an associate coach with NABS the national advertising charity to support people in the creative industries

Chat GPT described my LinkedIn (accurately) as:

Charlotte, a dynamic force of creativity and empathy. Her journey from social media maven to ADHD coach is a testament to her adaptability and passion for helping others understand their unique minds.

If you want to get to know my vibe you can find me creating content on TikTok.

Q&A

What’s your coaching ethos?

My coaching ethos encourages process and progress over perfection. I coach with curiosity, compassion and humour. Everyone with ADHD is different so 1:1 coaching is always tailored to you.

Who do I coach?

I coach people in the creative industries including agency, freelance and in house: creatives (art & copy), animators, designers, PMs, account managers & directors, recruiters, media planners, HR & talent team, product managers, social media managers and content creators.

ADHD coaching is like having a life manager who understands ADHD. In coaching we talk about ADHD challenges and come up with practical ADHD-friendly solutions.

How does coaching work?

We start with defining coaching goals and topics for coaching: for example overwhelm, organisation, productivity, focus, emotional regulation, career progression understanding ADHD and more.

We then make a tailored plan for coaching and think of ideas for coaching sessions. This may change over time.

Some people like structure & worksheets, so we’ll work on exercises in and outside of coaching. Others prefer a more conversational style of coaching

Between sessions you’ll agree on actions to move you forward which we’ll check in on each session for accountability and to test & learn what works.

Example coaching sessions:

  • Understanding YOUR ADHD and meeting yourself where you’re at

    • Uncovering how you self-sabotage: check yourself before you wreck yourself

    • Self-care jenga: you can’t get what you want unless you know what you need

    • Learning how you process information, how you think and work WITH your ADHD brain text goes here

    • Know your strengths so you can use your ADHD for good

    • If it ain’t broke… Reminding yourself what works

    • RSD: knowing your triggers and strategies for emotional regulation

    • Fighting confidence killers like comparison, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome

    • Working on executive function: motivation, impulsivity, memory, planning and organisation, emotional regulation at work or at home

    • Time awareness strategies so you can get more control of your time.

    • Working out what you can control and letting go of what you can’t

    • Using the interest-based attention system and your ADHD strengths to create bespoke strategies

    • Support: working out what help you need and how to ask for it.

    • Organisation: helping you learn how to get your sh*t together and follow through with actions.

    • Achievable goals: breaking goals into steps to help you make changes.

    • Re-writing your ADHD rulebook: creating a personal manual for your brain.

  • Coaching has been as life changing as my ADHD diagnosis. I’ve learned so much about myself but also the strategies to cope with my challenges. I am happier and kinder to myself because of it. I can’t recommend Charlotte enough (I already do at any opportunity!)

    HR Talent Manager - creative agency

  • Coaching with Charlotte has been life changing! I came to coaching during a transition in my life and with her incredible support and ADHD knowledge I made changes that have helped immensely. I recommend coaching to anyone navigating their neurodiversity.

    Creative animator

  • As a recently diagnosed adult I found it invaluable to work with Charlotte to understand how my brain works, get to know my ADHD self like a new friend and to help me see where I have been masking. Ultimately she helped me to accept myself for who I am.

    Senior Leader, Tech

  • The most helpful part of coaching was Talking through real life challenges sometimes in real time and feeling understood, guided and supported.

    Freelance Communications Trainer

  • Charlotte has massively helped me with tackling my triggers, and proactive tools I can use to stop me from getting overwhelmed. Before coaching I felt negative and like I'd never 'fix' myself, I've realised it's not about fixing my ADHD, but I can use it in so many ways within my role that others cannot.

    HR Executive, Advertising agency

  • I’d recommend coaching with Charlotte to anyone who is maybe late diagnosed and looking for was to improve things or cope better with “issues” they face with ADHD. They’ll will benefit from learning new skills, tools and understand themselves better.

2. The coaching call

Each week we talk about a topic relevant to your life, and we’ll explore it while learning about ADHD. I’ll listen empathetically to your challenges, help explain things from an ADHD expert perspective. I have ADHD too so this is a genuinely judgement-free zone where you can fully unmask.

3. Action stations

Towards the end of the call, after discussing your challenges, we’ll figure out what you can do about it. Homework is always optional and ADHD-friendly.

You’ll have me as an accountability partner. I’ll send reminders so you follow through with your intentions.

The coaching process!

Over time we learn and progress. I’ll remind you to celebrate wins, and keep notes so you can remember what you’ve learned. If strategies don’t work, we’ll switch up the tactics. I coach with curiosity, compassion and a sense of humour - without judgement providing a different perspective as an ADHD expert.
