About me

I’m a qualified ADHD coach with professional and academic experience and qualifications. Alongside lived experience, I’ve completed extensive study in ADHD and autism and coaching, drawing on years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and families.

Before specialising in coaching, after studying at the University of Liverpool and at University College London, I built a career in communications, education and the charity sector to director level. That varied experience informs my practical, flexible and person-centred approach and my understanding of the complex environments many clients navigate at work.

I work with adults and some teenagers across the UK — privately funded, funded by employers and through the DWP’s Access to Work scheme — to create strategies and processes that improve the wellbeing of my clients.

My coaching is professional but warm and real. I’m collaborative and my coaching is highly individualised, helping clients find real, sustainable change and self-awareness.

I am Advisory Director of The ADHD Collective, an online membership community for ADHDers where I deliver and co-host webinars and group coaching and support sessions.

I am also a mum, a wife, a big fan of dogs, books and boxsets (I’ve always got a good recommendation if you need one!)

“When we first started, I was stuck with asking for help, and I didn’t really know what that even looked like. Over the last year, so much has changed. A year ago I would have laid there and tortured myself, annihilated my self because I didn’t have the confidence… the self worth… the self esteem. Now I can give myself time and grace and take a more constructive next step. Thank you.” H, 2025-6

Client Testimonials

Having ADHD can often mean a lot of masking, a lot of trying to fit in, a lot of over-explaining, and constantly hoping you can blend into situations so nobody notices the ways your brain works differently.

From the very first time I spoke to Lucy, I realised I didn't have to do any of that. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely understood. She seemed to understand my brain better than I understood it myself, and there was an enormous sense of relief in finally not having to explain or justify every thought, feeling, or behaviour.

Lucy doesn't just lead with exceptional expertise and a deep understanding of ADHD; she leads with compassion, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. She has an incredible ability to untangle what feels like complete chaos and explain it in a way that suddenly makes everything click.

Things I had spent years criticising myself for, she helped me see through a completely different lens—not as personal failures, but as natural consequences of how my brain is wired.

Working with Lucy has been one of the most transformative experiences I've had. She hasn't tried to change who I am; she's helped me understand who I am. Instead of fighting against my brain every day, I'm finally learning how to work with it. That shift has been life-changing.

The confidence, self-compassion, and practical tools she's given me have reached far beyond ADHD. They've improved how I approach work, relationships, and everyday life. I no longer feel like I'm constantly falling short of everyone else. I finally feel like I have permission to be myself.

Lucy has genuinely been one of the best things to ever happen to my brain. She has given me something I didn't realise I was missing: understanding. And with understanding came acceptance, confidence, and hope.

If you're looking for someone who will not only help you manage ADHD but help you truly understand yourself, I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. She has changed the way I see my brain, and that has changed my life.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write as I’ve been doing it listening to one of my favourite albums - one of your suggested strategies!

I was really struggling to function before meeting Lucy, procrastinating, not finishing things that I did start, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated with myself for not being able to 'get my act together'. I had tried therapy over the years but became tired of hearing 'out of ten, how do you feel' / 'draw how you feel' / 'tell me about your childhood again' / 'just be kind to yourself'. I wanted to know what was 'wrong' and how to get stuff done, but no-one had been able to help me.

During the initial calls with Lucy, she helped me bring together my own experiences, and I began to recognise that I might be AuDHD. I finally felt understood. Whilst things began to make sense, it was an emotional process as I went over my over my life to connect the 'AuDHD dots' but Lucy supported me throughout.

I love the practical focus that Lucy provides in our sessions, actions to focus on combined with support and encouragement - you feel like she is 'in your corner'. Lucy's coaching has enabled me to complete many tasks that have been on my 'to-do' list for years. It's a very long 'to-do' list but Lucy has given me the skills and belief that I can get things done.

I wanted to work with someone who was kind, patient, calm, who didn't make me feel judged, who I could laugh with rather than cry, and could understand my 'blockers' and gently help me to overcome them.

Lucy ticks all of those boxes. My only regret is that I didn't meet her years ago.

Thank you Lucy for making my life so much better.

Before we worked together my understanding of ADHD was minimal, it was only what I had read online which can be very confusing. I was always doubting myself and in a constant cycle of always trying to do more. I felt like I was fighting against my brain wanting to do things but it not feeling easy. I struggled to balance work and social. It was either one or the other that was going well. Never both at the same time and I didn’t know if this was possible.

Since working with Lucy I now understand so much more about myself, about ADHD and about how I can work with my ADHD. I am much kinder on myself now, I am learning how to find a balance without feeling guilty and my sessions with Lucy are a safe space to say however I am feeling without being judged. I used to really struggle with my emotions and managing / regulating them. But again now I have tools and understanding of how to do this. I have been working with Lucy for over 2 years and still now I learn new things. Lucy talks through with me any struggles I have in detail and helps me rationalise and feel much better about it. Work or personally.

I now know my ADHD is a huge strength of mine.

If you are thinking of working with Lucy, don’t think any more and just take the leap. You will NOT regret it.

Lucy has changed my life and I can’t imagine not working with her now. I look forward to our sessions and I know that however I am feeling I will come away with answers, clarity and a weight off my shoulders.

Thank you for being amazing. For your patience, understanding and support always!! I will forever be grateful.
