Supporting women with ADHD to return to work with successfully.

I have always struggled with school, work and personal life and never really understood why. In the last couple of years I started to see more information on ADHD and started to suspect I might have this. I am now on the waiting list for a diagnosis and in the mean time trying to live as if I do have it to try and access help and support. I have found many ways of managing the daily struggle however wanted  support and any further information that might make life a bit easier – so when I saw my workplace offering this coaching it sounded perfect. 

Initially I thought the coaching would mainly aid me in this charity job role, however I found that it was very helpful to navigate how to manage everyday life. I struggle finding balance in things I need to do and things I want to do, and often finding motivation can be a struggle. The coaching helped to strip everything back to basics and find clarity where to focus my energy and attention, especially when in a state of overwhelm. There were some really useful tools and techniques that I will be able to use in my own time going forward, such as prioritisation and organisation. I found the ADHD models useful in clearly explaining how I function and thus able to explain to others the areas where I struggle and excel.

I would highly recommend anyone to work with Lucy seeking help with their ADHD, she is warm and kind. The sessions were well guided and self led, and Lucy always had useful tools to share in which ever topic we covered. I felt extremely comfortable to share sometimes quite vulnerable personal information with her. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lucy and will be taking forward the things I have learnt with her.
