Are you ready to understand your brain better, and live your best life with ADHD with expert support?

You might want to try ADHD coaching.

I coach professionals and freelancers in the creative industries on work and life and the messy middle in between.

Pills don’t teach skills, and my clients find coaching the missing puzzle piece when they’ve been diagnosed, possibly medicated but still face many of the daily challenges they did pre-diagnosis.

If you want to get to know your brain better and learn practical strategies to help you go from surviving to thriving with ADHD, coaching could be for you. 

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 help with 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 my brain and after going on my own ADHD journey pivoted my career to give support to others like me. 

I didn’t want to give others unqualified advice so I made sure I knew what I was talking about by:

  • Completing 115 hours International Coaching Federation training with ADDCA - the first ICF specialist ADHD coaching school.

  • Becoming an AACC certified coach (ICF level 1)

  • Gaining additional coach training with ADHD Works and coached with supervision from Leanne Maskell.

  • Gained over 400+ hours coaching experience exclusively ADHD & neurodivergent clients

  • Provided neurodiversity consultancy for Publicis Groupe - one of the biggest global advertising groups globally

  • Became an associate coach with NABs the national advertising charity coaching people from creative agencies

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.

Professional ADHD coaching

How do I coach?

My coaching ethos encourages process and progress over perfection. I coach with curiosity, compassion and humour.

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.

What do we cover on coaching?

Coaching topics include: overwhelm, focus, executive function, motivation, consistency, being sensitive or RSD, confidence, imposter syndrome, post-ADHD diagnosis support, working with ADHD, existential crises and more.

Introducing ADHD club’s coaching themes, the Four Cs:

Understanding your ADHD is *a journey* and during coaching we’ll navigate it together by working through four major themes: the Four Cs. 

Everyone has different areas of work/life they want to work on so before we start we’ll define your coaching goals and use the Four Cs to work out what’s happening, who you are, where you want to go and how to get there. 

Coaching is a tailored collaborative process and each week you’ll take small actions towards your goals.

  • 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.

What people say about coaching with Charlotte

“I’d recommend coaching with Charlotte to anyone who is maybe late diagnosed and looking for ways to improve things or cope better with ‘issues’ they face with ADHD.

They’ll benefit from learning new skills, tools and understand themselves better.”

What to expect from ADHD club coaching:

1.Getting started: apply for coaching here.

Then we’ll have a free 30 min intro call to see if we’re a good fit. If we go ahead, you can sign up to weekly or fortnightly online sessions.

Please note I ask for a minimum commitment of 4 sessions fortnightly or weekly. Coaching costs £150 per session, and can be funded by Access to Work, (more info below) your employer or privately funded.

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 sensitively and empathetically to your challenges, help explain your 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 specific challenges you’re facing, we’ll figure out what you can do about it. Homework is always optional and ADHD-friendly.

You’ll take actions towards your goals, and 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.
