Before starting coaching, I was a very late-diagnosed ADHDer and hadn’t even received my formal diagnosis before my initial pre-call with Natalie. I had been on a waiting list for over two years and felt increasingly frustrated and dismissed. Even before I committed to working with her, Natalie gave me incredibly helpful guidance on how to move things forward with my GP, and I was diagnosed soon after. That support alone made a significant difference. My understanding of ADHD had mainly come from social media and from navigating my son’s challenges at school. I’d had an inkling for about five years that ADHD might explain a lot about my own struggles, but I had very little formal knowledge. I was making mistakes, missing important appointments, and constantly feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn’t know which way to turn. One of the most unexpected shifts from coaching has been my ability to pause. I am now much more able to stop, slow down, and ask myself what truly matters in that moment. When I feel overwhelmed, I can catch myself and question whether the pressure I’m feeling is real or self-imposed. As an entrepreneur, I often create invisible deadlines in my own head. Coaching helped me soften that internal pressure and approach my work with more awareness and self-compassion. The biggest shift in my thinking has been around self-worth. For years, I carried a belief that I wasn’t good enough or that I was somehow “stupid.” Coaching has helped me recognise those long-standing narratives. I’m not fully free of them yet, but I’m aware of them now—and that awareness has changed everything. I am more willing to accept help, invest in further support, and stop trying to do everything alone. I now believe I am worthy of support. Yes, I do feel more able to manage my ADHD struggles since having coaching. Although I’m still at the beginning of this journey, I’m better at preventing spirals and starting small rather than shutting down completely. The coaching wasn’t rigid or overly structured; it was intuitive and deeply personal. Natalie helped me understand myself at a foundational level—why I react the way I do, where my doubts come from, and what overwhelm actually feels like in my body. That understanding allows me to respond differently. Coaching was absolutely worth the investment. Choosing to prioritise my mental and emotional wellbeing was powerful in itself. I hesitated about the financial commitment, but I’m so glad I did it. Working with someone who truly understands ADHD because she lives it herself made me feel deeply understood. It has also opened my mind to continuing to invest in myself rather than beating myself up for not being able to “do it all.” If someone is unsure about starting coaching with Natalie, I would simply say: do it. ADHD coaching with her goes far deeper than surface-level productivity tools. It’s about understanding yourself first—why you think, feel, and act the way you do—so that any structure you build actually works. Natalie creates a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard, and that safety makes real change possible.
