Success Stories

The coaching with Stephanie has been

invigorating and life changing.

 

She has so much empathy and enthusiasm which

inspires me to move forward towards my life goals.

​

I am achieving more and more each day using

the methods I have been taught.

 

My focus has improved and I have learned to prioritise

the more important things which move me towards

my dreams and aspirations

without being distracted by the small stuff!

Coaching with Stephanie was really grounding as she helped

you put a different lens up through which to look at

your own life or way of being that you wanted to change.

​

It seemed so hard to do on my own but with Stephanie's insightful questions, warmth and energy in protected time to reflect...

 

So much has changed for me, what seemed impossible then,

is just part of my life now - and for the better!

A life changer for my teenage daughter and in turn myself.

 

Stephanie's knowledge, experience and

understanding is

gold dust.

 

We could not ask for more…

Stephanie had a very nice manner with us from the start, which helped us relax and open up. She was very open on her side,

sharing her own situation. Early on in the meeting Stephanie

showed her insight into the ADHD specifics, identifying some

of our situations with our son as typical of ADHD.

 

Beyond that, Stephanie’s insights were so spot on

it was as if she’d had a camera in our kitchen!

 

The specific advice Stephanie gave was great and she was very encouraging about the things we were doing.

At the end, it was very good to have some different options for next steps as well as the books –

“Smart but Scattered Teens” has already been very helpful. 

We both left feeling that our situation was well understood and that she was someone who had given us good support and insight.

​

 

Having worked with Stephanie for a few months now, I really value her professionalism, the enthusiastic way she approaches the different subjects relevant to me and her clear and rational thinking.

​

She has helped bring structure to my every day life, with the view of eventually setting clearer long term goals.

 

Stephanie doesn’t shy away from the more complex issues I sometimes avoid facing, so she has helped me make some real breakthroughs in my thinking. 

 

She is an endless source of information, books, and other resources to help me out and maintain more balance in my life.

I really enjoy working with her and our meetings are definitely one of my week’s highlights.

I’ve come to Stephanie after a recent ADHD diagnosis

to get better at life. It’s really that simple.

 

 I often feel overwhelmed by competing thoughts, take on too much and then struggle to prioritise. While it can appear on the outside like my life is in order, I’m often tying myself up in knots about where I’m at and what I’m trying to accomplish.

 

So … with Stephanie’s support we’re building sustainable

idiot proof models to be better - at time usage, at creating

stability for an ADHD mind to operate, and knowing how I

operate and why, building vision for what I want the future to look like, and a roadmap on how to get there.

 

It’s all positive stuff and I’m hopeful for where it will lead.

​

​

​

The coaching sessions with Stephanie have proved

invaluable and have exceeded my expectations.

​

Stephanie quickly honed in on the areas I was struggling with

and gave me some easy to apply strategies.

​

I’ve enjoyed learning about myself and how to play to my character strengths and the feedback loops that make me happy.

​

100% recommend anyone with or without ADHD sees Stephanie.

 

It’s been thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience.

 

Thank you.

 

I came across Stephanie online and felt I could relate to her

from her story compared to others so I was intrigued

and we had a chat over the phone.

​

I felt like Stephanie could help me and be my coach after

that phone call and after speaking to another happy

client of Stephanie's I decided to go for it.

 

I am so glad I did as I am making such progress.

 

The main thing about Stephanie is I feel I can be totally honest

about my ADHD because I know she understands and

doesn't judge me and I know is there to help me.

 

In two sessions, Stephanie uncovered what I loved

doing - which was painting - but I hadn't touched

a paintbrush in 8 years!

 

She encouraged me to start and now I wake up every day

and wonder how I went 8 years without painting.

 

Aside from that, I have learnt tips and tools already for

improving my life and I'm really excited to see where

I will be in 6 months time with Stephanie's help!

Stephanie is quite simply ‘fantastic’. Patient, pragmatic and professional - I’d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her services to anyone struggling with ADHD. I’d define time with Stephanie as ‘compulsory filing for the brain’ which for those of us accelerating at the speed of lightening is some well earned down time to rationalise the week and devise ideas for the forthcoming week which can be implemented for the future.

A high recommendation from me for a

helpful, caring and supportive coach

who lives for results!

 

Having been diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 33, I was keen to start coaching as part of my treatment plan.

 

I was very lucky to have found Stephanie as her coaching has provided me with tips, techniques and insights that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. She is excellent at helping you to identify your inner strengths and passions, and then coaching you

towards your goals in an ADHD friendly way!

 

Stephanie truly listens, is very patient and will provide you with many 'lightbulb' moments during your journey with her!

​

Her ADHD knowledge and insight is invaluable for anyone struggling with the condition.

 

I've come so far in the six months since my diagnosis and

Stephanie has played a massive part in my progress.

Stephanie gave me invaluable and brilliant support and advice through the process of dealing with the Local Authority

to get my chosen school named on my daughter’s EHCP.

​

She provided me with an extensive framework to write a full and effective response to the initial proposed provision on the Draft Plan.

 

Her educational legal expertise is fantastic and she has strong knowledge and understanding of how SEN works

within schools and local authorities.

​

Stephanie’s letter was instrumental in persuading my LA to agree to our chosen independent and out of borough school,

which has transformed my daughter’s life.

​

​Steph has been a brilliant coach and helped me with much more

than I could have ever expected.

​

After just 4 appointments I have managed to build structure

into my life whilst also learning more about

the way my brain works.

​

I don't know how I ever managed without her!

 

​

​Stephanie has been amazing with my 15 year old daughter.

 

Emily enjoys the session and they help her organize

her Ferrari brain!

 

I'm the mother of  a 20 year old who was drug dependent,

unwell, unhappy and not coping at University.

 

Correct diagnosis, medication and Stephanie's input is radically

changing our lives.

​

My daughter says Stephanie makes her accountable (not in a harsh way), challenges her to develop her own strategies

and self awareness.

​

Best of all Stephanie also has ADHD which means

she really understands the mysterious brain that is ADHD.

 

Many thanks from a neurotypical mother.

 

 

For years, I’ve always felt I was never living up to my potential.

 

My life was a series of  unfinished projects,

unaccomplished goals and never-ending to-do lists.

Stephanie has helped me focus on what is important in my life

and I’ve made more progress on my goals in the

last 6 months of coaching

than the 10 years without a coach.

I have clarity on my goals and finally feel like I’m making progress

towards them while managing my day-to-day work and tasks

without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.


 

 

My psychiatrist recommended coaching as I had already had a lot of

CBT in the past. My first session with Stephanie was hard work, my

brain was being exercised to think in a different way to how it had

before. But it even my first session I learnt a lot of valuable

information about myself.

Coaching taught me to understand my brain, focus on my strengths

and from this, learn unique strategies that worked for me.

I was able to not be so hard on myself and be the most

organised I had ever been.

 

This new insight also allows me to now make informed life decisions,

I can choose not to do things I now realise are just that much more

difficult for me and my ADHD brain. I can choose to do things

that my ADHD brain is motivated by.

Stephanie has been with me on every step of my coaching journey,

and it hasn’t stopped yet. So far, I’ve achieved my best

university grades and it won’t stop there.

 

Coaching is a powerful tool that I will continue to choose

in order to reach goals that for the last decade,

I didn’t believe possible.

 

 

“I cannot believe how lucky we are to find you as

our guide for all this!!"

Thank you very much for your time this morning.

 

Talking to you and reading the library section of your website

gave me so many light bulb moments and I feel like I am now

much better equipped to help my son going forward.

 

I am sure that I need to learn a lot more to help my son navigate

the neurotypical world and there will be a lot of

ups and downs along the way.

 

However, after listening to your story and picking on your brain,

I can now see the whole situation in a much more positive light

and also feel very empowered as a mum.

 

I cannot believe how lucky we are to find you as our guide

for all this!!

 

Many many thanks again for everything...

​

​

 

I reached out to my psychiatrist for guidance on reputable ADHD coaches when I was really struggling with prioritisation

in a new role.

​

He immediately recommended Stephanie and I couldn’t be

happier that he did.

In all honesty, I was initially concerned about working with a

fellow ADHD’er as a coach but now I can absolutely see

the benefit and need for it to have been that way.

 

Steph just gets how the ADHD brain works, and

more importantly she loves it.

 

She’s not only helped me to find the best way to work,

enabling me to be more successful in life, but she’s

hugely improved my confidence in my abilities.

 

Our combined genuine interests, hers being in tapping into

my potential and mine in my desire to improve,

have been a perfect mix.

My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!

​

​

I booked a session with Stephanie to talk to my teenage son

who was recently diagnosed with ADD.

 

My son was reticent to discuss his diagnosis at home

let alone with a stranger.

​

I was worried about what the session would be like, but

Stephanie approached my son with a lot of respect, enthusiasm

and zeal, and helped him to reframe his diagnosis not as

something to be ashamed of or embarrassed by but

just as a difference that can also have its pluses.

​

Since we've met with Stephanie his level of self-acceptance has definitely improved.

​

​

Thank you for another great session today.

 

Our meetings definitely fire me up, help me see things from a different perspective and give me energy to keep going and

to keep improving myself so I can help my family.

 

I was diagnosed at the age of nine but I was on my own to try find

a way to cope until now.

 

It has been nothing but troublesome.

 

I didn’t know ADHD coaching even existed before meeting Stephanie.

 

Now at 26 there has been a massive turn around in my life and

a taming of the chaos I didn’t know I could get past.

 

I’ve only known Stephanie a matter of months but it didn’t take

her long to make a huge impact.

 

She was so easy to trust and confide in. She’s been an anchor.

 

Every week I so look forward to seeing/chatting to her.

 

She is such a pleasure to talk to and has taught me so much about myself.

​

She’s also made me to feel less alone.

 

Having ADD can be a lonely place to be but not anymore.

 

I can’t thank her enough.

​

​

 

Before meeting Stephanie, I was at a complete loss as to what to do. The pandemic in March had caused me tremendous distress and

I urgently sought to make wholesale changes to my life.

Initially, I was sceptical about coaching and only decided to try it

as a last resort. As my ADHD was permanent, I didn't think

there was much point. I never imagined it would

actually work. Stephanie proved me wrong...

Since our very first session, Stephanie has been a pillar in my life

who's supported me in coping with all aspects of my ADHD.

In particular, my career change, my anxiety and my relationships. She has given me the strength and confidence to move forward

and thrive at being 'me'. Five months later, I've gone from

wallowing in my own despair to taking large strides forward,

and now find myself within close quarters of

where I want to be.

What is unique about Stephanie is the way she holds the full weight of her clients in her hands. This is demonstrated by the

exhaustive energy she puts into each of her sessions.

She has the gifted ability to instil the spirit of hope

in others and turn dreams into achievable objectives.

It's no exaggeration to say that the changes to

my life have been 'monumental'.

She is a truly prolific coach and I wish everyone well to

make the most out of the experience!

​

​

I’m truly grateful for finding Stephanie. Her coaching is

above and beyond expectations.

Stephanie ensures you feel listened to, with her

compassionate and reflective approach.

With ADHD it’s easy to feel lost and distracted. With Stephanie’s framework, the support during and after each session

ensures you can achieve the clarity and focus

you need to stay on track.

 

​

​

The questions have been so intelligent and really get to the heart

of how I feel and once I begin to answer I gain so much clarity

and wisdom around what changes could be made

and how that might feel.

 

I am hoping this takes me to a place of peace and inner knowing

which then informs how I live and the values that

drive me forward making decisions

much easier for me.

Coaching with Stephanie has made me realise that my inner voice

is actually screaming and is not silent.

 

Its just that I need reminding to ask the questions and LISTEN to

my response and trust that I will be able to move forward.

 

I am now committed to be all in for an exploration of what and who I

am at my core. To commit to saying yes to my needs and self-care

and that means being and living an authentic life.

No more coercion.

 

I think that comes from self always trying to fit in or adapt to

circumstances or being acceptable to others or recognisable

as whatever identity they want to see. Feeling other

defined does not work for me!

 

You are a super wonderful coach and I am so enjoying working with

you as you are really helping me uncover my most valuable

buried treasures and that's an eternal source -

which means your gift of coaching is like

rain for a dry river bed..


 

​

My impression is that whatever you are doing with him seems to

be working, it appears he is more organised and

on top of his work etc.

 

He also seems much happier in himself. So thank you so much.

I would really like if he could continue with you throughout

this year until he completes college.

I think he needs continued support and I would love if you

could provide this.


 

I’ve been through 2 years of therapy and I was diagnosed with ADHD for a year before I found Steph.

 

I’ve always been curious  about coaching but also quite skeptical.

I’ve communicated with a few coaches before and I found that

neither the ‘free-flow’ style nor the mindfulness style works

for me. I would like something that’s more structured

so I don’t feel lost.

 

Steph is great because she has a structure that’s been tested and

practiced as the basis of her coaching, but she also

accommodates individuality and contingencies in life

to better help each individual with what they need

the most at the time. It’s been a great journey

and every minute I’m learning.

Working with Steph is absolutely fantastic! Not only did she

help me to get clarity of mind in understanding ADHD, she

also taught me so many useful techniques that've been

greatly helpful to handle my daily life with ADHD.

​

Steph is funny, caring, honest, and incredibly smart and analytical. This means that not only can she recognise the problem and find

a solution, but also makes it work FOR YOU because she

understands you on a personal level.

​

The coaching has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone,

but it’s one of the best things I’ve done for myself and my

personal growth.

 

I now feel a lot more in control with my life and a lot more

confident in dealing with my ADHD.

 

Hi Stephanie! Great news.

 

 just been promoted AND into the role I wanted!!! Feedback was that I was the strongest candidate by far, and that they were able to give me the job I had wanted as I’d been so clear with what I wanted and why.

 

Huge thank you for all your support and help - I’m incredibly relieved and happy, and your coaching helped me immensely prepare and explain my position.

​

(And this is exactly week 12 of my 12 week plan !! Really works!)

“I could have cried I was so happy and grateful how well my daughter's session went - everything I’d hoped for. 

 

To have watched her struggling on so many sides ... being continually pulled down, largely by her ADHD, burying her head about it all and despite trying so hard she’s really been quite unhappy and even lost.

 

I think you have broken through and the fact she talked so openly with you is extraordinary and such a comfort. [You’re] dynamic, smart and kind and do so much good in the world … Truly thank you.”
