I came into ADHD coaching expecting strategies to boost my productivity. But rather, coaching helped me most with challenging emotions, challenging negative self-perceptions and perspectives, and being kinder to myself. I hadn’t expected to work on becoming kinder to myself, but this is a highlight of our coaching experience together! This trickled down to help me study in ways that were more efficient and less perfectionist. I loved when we started sessions with something positive that has happened in the week. Commentary on body language, observations on patterns and changes in behaviour/posture/mood, and comparisons to the past: when you pointed these things out, it really helped me pause and reassess beliefs I had about myself and how far I’ve come.

Our young teenage daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD after she was becoming increasingly wayward and chaotic at school, including a serious lack of focus in the classroom, leading to disciplinary issues. With the diagnosis, we as parents needed to rapidly educate ourselves about ADHD, but most importantly we needed our daughter to learn about herself and develop techniques to regulate her impulses and emotions. Caroline has been outstanding in this regard, not only helping to develop those techniques but also showing us and our daughter the positives of her neurodivergence, and how to better harness her abilities. Our daughter truly looks forward to her sessions with Caroline, and the result has been a huge improvement in her focus and school life generally, and importantly also in her self esteem.

Caroline is simply amazing at what she does. She really takes the time to listen, understand and problem solve where possible. I felt totally at ease talking to her about my weird and wonderful brain and the thoughts coming from it. Highly recommend.

Caroline has been coaching my 15-year-old daughter for the past two terms. She has been instrumental in guiding her through situations her contemporaries find easy and natural, but she has found so difficult. The change has been like night and day. She really enjoys her time with Caroline and has found such solace speaking to somebody who really understands where she’s coming from. She is learning to navigate low self-esteem with such positive effect. Caroline celebrates her wins and supports her in her lows. I cannot recommend Caroline‘s coaching highly enough.

You are the light at the end of the tunnel. Without you or your support in the past three years, I would have left the school long ago. And I am so grateful that you have always been able to see the positives in me. I have not been the easiest of people to work with, but somehow you stand by me every time.

You are AMAZING at what you do. For example, I got in an argument with someone on Saturday, and I saw the red smoke. Still, I managed to remove myself from the situation and then come back into it after I had calmed down. You did that for me, taught me how to use my toolbox.
I was unable to control myself to leave, and now I can leave the room. The next task for me is to wait until I am by myself, then say all the rude words I am thinking. I would like to keep our sessions going at my new school - there is no one else I would want to have coaching from.

Caroline has been such an incredible help to me. Although I came to her with an idea of how my ADHD was already affecting me, Caroline helped me identify some of the areas I didn't realise were taking such a big toll. Through this coaching journey with her I've been able to reimagine the way I implement regulating techniques. I've learned to apply the techniques I already use, but in different areas that I never thought to before. She's helped me understand different connections within myself and my ADHD.
I thought going into this that I would be learning a lot from her, but through her careful and intuitive questions I've learned a lot more about myself. Caroline is adept at creating a comfortable space, and at coaxing out the root of an issue so we can begin to work on it. I can't believe the difference it's already made in me and anyone would be lucky to be coached by her.
