How I Work

Over the last four years and through more than 1,000 hours supporting ADHD adults, I’ve noticed a pattern.

People often come to this work wanting to be more productive, more consistent, more organised or better at sticking to routines.

And of course, those things can matter.

But often, as we begin talking, something deeper starts to emerge.

It’s not just about the dishes, the emails, the unfinished tasks or the messy kitchen.

It’s about the shame that comes with them.
The pressure to be different/better.
The fear of being judged.
The belief that you’re failing because you can’t keep up in the way you think you “should.” (Why does life feel so much harder for me than it seems to for everyone else?)

Sometimes those expectations come from childhood. Sometimes they come from school, work, family, relationships, culture or years of being misunderstood.

And when we start to understand that, something can begin to soften.

You may find yourself becoming less harsh with yourself.
Less anxious about the kitchen being perfectly clean.
More able to say no.
More connected to what actually matters to you.
More confident in who you are and what you need.

And often, the practical things change too.

Not because you’ve forced yourself into a stricter routine but because you’re no longer trying to do everything from guilt, shame, panic or self-criticism.

That’s the longer lasting change.
