Hello

My Story

I was born Hard of Hearing, with a severe bilateral hearing loss. I always believed this was the only reason for any struggles I encountered. I had learnt coping mechanisms, i.e. I masked, in order to "fit in" from an early age.

​

When I got married, it was one of the happiest days of my life. And later, we decided to start a family.

​​

There was a 50/50 chance of me throwing whatever gene caused my hearing loss into the pot, or my wife supplying hers into the mix.

​​

Hearing tests for our children led to a diagnosis of Autism for our youngest. When we were supplied with a list of situations that an Autistic person would struggle with, I scoffed, "Why, but everyone would struggle with these!"

​

When everyone else proclaimed that they would not, I asked for an assessment and received my Autistic diagnosis at the age of 40.

​​

Nearly a decade on, our eldest received a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, and so came the realisation that I too, am AuDHD.

​​

I qualified as a CPD-certified ADHD Coach through the Association for Coaches credited ADHD Works.

​Coaching has really helped me work with myself and understand my strengths in order to achieve my goals. I am passionate to provide the same service for others.

It's also helped me to appreciate and comprehend the differences my children may have to me, so I can support them better. ​

​

Your journey will be different to mine though.
