Bespoke, Individual Coaching for Women with ADHD

If you’re an introverted, sensitive, and empathetic woman who suspects or has discovered you’re living with ADHD, I’m here to help you thrive.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck and wondering what’s next?

You’re not alone. Discovering you have ADHD in adulthood, particularly as a woman in midlife, can throw up as many questions as it does answers. Reflecting on how life could have been with this knowledge, as well as wondering how to make positive changes moving forward can be quite discombobulating.

Having struggled with procrastination, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, leading to overthinking and overwhelm, along with your introverted, sensitive, empathetic nature you’ve gone through life feeling like you’re too much and not enough at the same time.

You may have been able to keep it together – mostly – juggling work, relationships and family, while feeling exhausted and like you’re failing, but now things are unravelling.

You’re unravelling and you can’t carry on the way you have.

And why should you?

With the right support you can find calm, joy and the freedom to be your unique, beautiful self.

How one to one coaching can help you

I offer personalised coaching for midlife women who have or think they might have, ADHD (no formal diagnosis needed), especially those who feel they’re introverted, sensitive and empathetic. This isn’t cookie cutter coaching – this is bespoke support focusing on your individual needs, challenges and strengths.

In our sessions we can work together on areas such as:

Devising strategies – Create structure and strategies to help you overcome procrastination, find motivation and focus, be organised and feel in control.
Managing emotions – Identify the emotional ups and downs including what creates them such as people-pleasing and overthinking, and find more calm and peace.
Building confidence – Cultivate self-acceptance and trust in who you truly are rather than who you’ve been told you should be.
Creating habits – Establish healthy habits and routines to support, not restrict, daily life.

Before coaching I felt like I was in a storm, overwhelmed and heading for burnout. Now I am so much more centred in myself. I'm doing things from a point of I want to rather than I should. I'm happier, I'm more fun to be around and I have more energy. Thank you for helping me walk a little taller in the world.

Does this sound familiar?

You try so hard to make people happy, to please and never let anyone down (or be thought of as a disappointment), even though it’s exhausting and breeds resentment (with the accompanying guilt for feeling that way). And yet you still feel like you’re letting down others, and yourself.
You've spent a lifetime trying to be who you think you’re supposed to be or expected to be, containing and criticising yourself, striving to do more, to be more, to keep up but never quite managing it.
You listen and observe and take what others say to heart, with criticism or a negative remark feeling like visceral rejection, painful as a knife to the chest.
You struggle with getting started on tasks or completing them, but also get so absorbed you forget to eat or pee.
It's a constant uphill struggle (so you may have elaborate systems) to stay on top of paperwork, remember birthdays, not lose things and be on time for appointments.

You're exhausted from a lifetime of trying to not be too much and feeling like you’re not enough.

You struggle to make decisions and overthink, having so many ideas but finding it difficult to organise, prioritise or action them.
Your head is constantly busy with multiple trains of thoughts running all the time and there’s no off switch, especially when you’re trying to sleep.
You swing from the boom of being energised and productive to the bust of crashing and burning out.
You're thoughtful and contemplative, you've been told you’re too idealistic, too scattered in your thoughts, attention and interests, too quiet, too sensitive which all adds up to the long-standing feeling that you’ll never. be. enough.
You’re a quiet, introverted, sensitive, empathetic woman whose many coping strategies no longer work like they used to because the pressure of years of striving and midlife hormonal changes make everything feel like it’s unravelling.

How we’ll work together

We’ll begin our coaching exploring the areas of your life you most want to work on so we can create intentions for our time together.
We’ll work with your strengths and values, your inner wisdom and intuition, to address your emotional, mental and practical challenges, and create the peaceful, free and joyful life you deserve.
Between our calls you have my ongoing support through voice or written messages.

Coaching tailored to you

My coaching is for women who often don’t see themselves reflected in ADHD spaces – quiet, introverted, sensitive, empathetic women who have been diagnosed later in life. I understand that your experiences are unique and that traditional – neurotypical – support hasn’t actually felt supportive.

I hold for you a judgement-free, compassionate and empowering space for you to be truly yourself. My coaching is designed to help you embrace your strengths, your very you-ness, so you can create a life that works with your ADHD, not against it.

Imagine what’s possible for you

More focus: Overcome procrastination and perfectionism, stay on track and feel in control.
Emotional balance: Manage overwhelm, stress, emotional intensity and develop greater self-acceptance and self-compassion.
Greater confidence: Build belief in yourself and your abilities, creating and honouring your own boundaries and embracing your strengths and gifts.
Clarity and calm: Create habits and strategies that bring more structure and peace into your daily life.
Lasting change: Get the support you need to make sustainable changes, not just quick fixes.

I feel like I can breathe properly, like a weight has come away from my shoulders. My husband has noticed that I am far calmer and more patient. My friends have noticed that I have a new bounce in my step and I believe that my children have benefitted massively as I am seeing them modelling my behaviour and mindset.

I feel that I am a better wife, mother, friend and me as a result of Gabrielle’s support and guidance. I feel more confident about who I am and what I need. I am happier, look at things in a calmer and more peaceful way and haven’t let myself get so emotionally upset with various life events.

Meet Gabrielle

I’m a coach, writer, podcaster, and author in the UK, and at the age of 48 I was diagnosed with ADHD. Long before this discovery I’ve been intuitively supporting women with common symptoms of ADHD such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking, and overwhelm. I’m quiet (too quiet I’ve been told), introverted, sensitive (too sensitive as well) and highly empathetic.

I’ve had a successful career in children’s publishing, built and sold a profitable stationery business, trained and work as a coach and educator, saw my first book, The 1% Wellness Experiment, published, and achieved an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, all without knowing I’ve been living with ADHD all my life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with women diagnosed with ADHD?

Short answer – no! You don’t need to have a diagnosis. You may be waiting for an assessment, you may be pretty sure yourself, you may be suspecting it or perhaps you identify with many of the symptoms, traits and experiences you’ve heard from other midlife ADHD women. If you’ve reached this point of the page I'm guessing it’s resonating for you and we can chat more in a free discovery call. And if you have other neurodivergences and recognise yourself in what I’ve shared you’re very welcome here too.

Does it matter if I live in a different country or time zone to you?

Not at all. Because our coaching sessions are online video calls through Zoom you can be anywhere in the world! As well as in the UK I've worked with people in different time zones such as in Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, and Europe, and it hasn't been a problem. Together we'll find a time for our coaching calls that work for both of us.

What qualifies you to support me?

I am a quiet, introverted, sensitive and empathetic midlife woman diagnosed with ADHD aged 48. I’ve lived most of my life without this realisation explaining my struggles, and I know how the discovery can being up grief, relief and bewilderment. On top of a tonne of life experience I’m a trained and certified coach, I have an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, and I’m the author a neurodivergent-friendly wellbeing book, The 1% Wellness Experiment. Through one to one coaching, workshops and courses I’ve been supporting women with the challenges associated with ADHD, such as people-pleasing, procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking and overwhelm, and helping them to find self-compassion and acceptance, calm, joy and freedom for eight years.

How and where do the coaching sessions take place?

Our coaching calls are held on Zoom (or can be via phone) and you are welcome to join and be in our sessions in whatever way honours your needs. After each call I send you the recording to keep so you can watch or listen again whenever you like.

The whole coaching experience has been amazing and challenging and has brought changes beyond my wildest expectations. When I contacted Gabrielle I was struggling with anxiety due to overwhelm, not sleeping well and generally feeling exhausted emotionally and physically.

Now I have a lovely sense of freedom, I feel stronger, empowered and I’m more assertive. I feel like I participate in life rather than being on the sidelines. My relationship with my daughter is so much better and with my husband it’s calmer, there’s much more respect between us now.

What I have learned about myself and the changes I’ve made during my time working with Gabrielle have completely changed my life. I cannot recommend coaching with her highly enough.

- Karen

When I first connected with Gabrielle I was stressed, burnt out and I longed to enjoy life and just be myself. Gabrielle was so approachable, kind with a sense of fun, she wasn't at all judgmental but encouraging and understanding.

My coaching experience was amazing, it went far beyond my expectations. My sense of humour has returned, I've set boundaries and I have moments of sheer joy and excitement. My husband has noticed I'm no longer so agitated or frustrated and my friends have noticed I'm more confident. Now I'm more relaxed, I look after myself properly, I have energy for my life – I'm just happier!
