I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners who have ADHD, and there’s a pattern that shows up every single time. They’re exceptional at building, creating, and pushing things forward in their business, but it nearly always comes at a cost.And that cost, unmanaged, can look like:
Working longer hours than anyone else, yet never feeling truly in control
Coming home burnt out and emotionally shut off from the people who need them most
Living on the edge of burnout, masking it with caffeine, adrenaline, or sheer willpower
Emotional highs and lows that spill into relationships, decisions, and self-worth
Numbing the noise with whatever’s closest — work, screens, alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling, even porn
Many think getting an ADHD diagnosis will change everything, because finally, there’s an explanation that makes sense of it all.But awareness on its own doesn’t change much.Even with answers, many still work the same long hours. Still push through burnout. Still ride the emotional highs and lows.And that experience is far more common than most realise.Seeing it clearly can feel frustrating at first, but it’s not. It’s the foundation of everything else.It’s where real, lasting change can slowly begin.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve spent most of my life helping people find their way back from burnout, addiction, and chaos because I’ve lived through all three.
Studied Addiction Counselling at the University of Bath
Former programme manager in residential rehab
Worked within prisons supporting recovery and rehabilitation
Led therapy teams and supervised other counsellors
Now an ADHD Life Coach and Specialist Addictions Counsellor, working exclusively with business owners, founders and leaders
25 years clean and sober, after rehab, recovery, and rebuilding life piece by piece
Father and stepfather
Went through a divorce after 14 years and found lasting love with my wife
Watched my own father lose his life to alcoholism
Diagnosed with ADHD at 37 — the moment everything finally made sense
My diagnosis changed everything and nothing at the same time.Finally, an explanation — but still the same brain.It was the moment I stopped blaming myself for the chaos of the past — and saw that the future was mine to rebuild.But understanding it didn’t quiet the noise or undo the habits. It just made me see them more clearly.And in that clarity, I began to see the link between my drive and my destruction. Between achievement and exhaustion. Why I could build a business yet lose myself in the process.In the end, what made the difference was simple.I’d spent years studying human behaviour and helping others rebuild their lives — but turning that knowledge inward was something else entirely. It forced me to live what I’d been teaching.Now I help others break that same cycle.
What I don’t do
I don’t promise quick wins or empty motivation.
I don’t help you “manage” ADHD by pushing harder or adding more structure to the chaos.
I don’t work with anyone who isn’t ready to be honest — about where they are, and what’s really going on.
What I do
Help you uncover what’s driving the constant push — the patterns and pressure that leave you running on empty.
Help you step out of performance mode and rebuild your energy, focus and relationships.
Bring 25 years of counselling experience and lived recovery to help you build change that lasts.
Business owners, founders and leaders who:
Want to feel focused and steady again without burning out to keep things moving.
Are ready to replace short-term fixes with lasting change, and finally understand what drives their stress, distraction or addiction.
Want their relationships — with their partner, their kids and themselves — to get the same energy, patience and care they give their business.
If you’re looking for a quick boost or a short-term fix, this won’t be for you.But if you’re ready to face the truth, stop running on fumes, and build something that finally lasts — this is where it starts.
There are two ways of working with me:
Remote
Weekly one-hour sessions over video.
Combined
Video sessions alongside two workplace visits to understand how your environment and habits shape the way you work and feel.
Both run over 12 weeks. Prices start at £3,500.
Book a free 30-minute call.
On it, we will:
Get to know each other and talk about what is really happening day to day.
See whether this work feels like a good fit for you.
Talk through what the next steps could look like if it feels aligned for us both.
I only take on a small number of clients I’m confident I can help.If it turns out we’re not a fit, that’s okay — it just means the timing or situation isn’t right.If we are, you’ll know exactly what to expect.
P.S. Every week you wait, the pattern gets a little deeper and a little harder to shift.
If any part of you knows it’s time to change, trust that.
