ADHD coaching for creative professionals, and ambitious, talented, imaginative thinkers who feel stuck, misplaced or unsure how to use their ideas.
I offer ADHD and neurodivergent coaching for creative thinkers who want to use their natural strengths, move beyond our internal barriers, and find a more rewarding path.
For those of us whose natural creativity doesn’t fit neatly into job titles, we might look towards defining our own path.
Some people are wired to explore, create, invent and imagine. Yet many find themselves stuck behind desks or working within environments built for different thinkers.
We might find ourselves in a role that narrows our creativity or asks us to work against our natural cognitive strengths.
The job might even have “creative” stated in the title, but in reality, it’s anything but.
Living & working with a creative mind that doesn't always conform to the norm, can leave us second-guessing our intentions. Reluctant to commit to our own path.
We might have a great idea, but we'll procrastinate, scrutinise... endlessly perfect it.
And if we're so sensitive to feedback, we give up at the first sign of 'rejection'.
Why creative & divergent thinkers can feel misplaced
Many ADHD and neurodivergent creative thinkers have strong ideas, unique ways of seeing things and a lot of energy for the work that interests us, but struggle in environments that do not recognise or support those strengths.
We might intuitively know we have a lot to offer, and have a strong desire to do meaningfully work, but struggle to put one of our ideas into action and break free from conventional patterns.
We don’t have to fit into a job title.
From a young age, we’re encouraged to experiment with our creativity and imagination. Then, when we hit around 18, the general rule is we pick a direction and climb the ladder.
For some of us, the idea of specialising in one thing forever feels as unnatural as it does daunting. We may have multiple interests, possible paths or different kinds of work we want to explore.
The way we work is changing.
Many of us are looking for more self-directed work and portfolio careers.
Some are combining multiple niches to build entirely new ways of working; a combination of interests, talents, experience. Delivering value in a way that only they can - and suited to how they do it best.
In a world being rapidly reshaped by AI, divergent thinkers may well have a human advantage - imagination, intuition and divergent thinking.
We work through whatever's important to you - it's your time.
Common topics include:
Creative cognition: strengths, interests, values, natural skill gaps, how you think, learn & solve problems.
Identifying the avoidance patterns & coping strategies that keep you stuck.
Natural talent and how to make it work for you
Separating intuition & motivation from expectations.
Finding clarity & direction when you have multiple interests or paths
Breaking cycles of burnout, avoidance and overcompensation
Breaking patterns of overthinking, rumination & self-criticism
Making sense of procrastination, perfectionism and self‑doubt
Building self‑trust after years of misfitting or masking
Moving away from self-monitoring & self-criticism towards confidence
Momentum, persistence & commitment
Translating intuition into action
I understand the challenges we can face as highly creative thinkers when we find ourselves on the wrong path.
I've spent decades working alongside incredibly talented people.
Highly creative, original thinkers. But in the wrong environments, they were often:
The least likely to 'fit in'
The quietest in the room
The most likely to mask
Coaching
Aside from working with brands work in the advertising industry, I've launched two startups, set up an art business, self-published four illustrated books, released music - and I have a mountain of unused URLs for ideas that never took off.
