Trauma-Informed
Creating safety before change
Working with care and choice
Many people with ADHD carry the impact of years of misunderstanding, criticism, exclusion, or feeling that they do not quite fit.
My work is trauma-informed, which means emotional safety, choice, and pacing are always prioritised. Coaching is collaborative and respectful. You are never pushed to go faster, deeper, or further than feels right for you.
We stay attentive to how past experiences may show up in the present, such as avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or shutdown. These are understood as protective responses, not flaws. This is not therapy, but it is careful, human work that recognises how history can shape behaviour.
The aim is to support growth while protecting dignity, agency, and self-trust.
This work is grounded in consent and readiness. We pay attention to whether something feels possible now, not just whether it sounds like a good idea. Avoidance, hesitation, or inconsistency are not treated as problems to push through, but as signals worth listening to. Coaching becomes a place where your nervous system is respected, where slowing down is allowed, and where change emerges through safety, trust, and self-compassion rather than pressure.
