Having ADHD myself, I have learned that support comes in many forms and can be invaluable. Diagnosed at 41, I spent years navigating challenges and creating my own support structures. With earlier support, I believe I could have excelled more quickly. I'm dedicated to helping others find their support sooner.
At every step of the ADHD journey, from seeking a diagnosis to workplace adjustments and everyday struggles, support is crucial. In my daily life, I'm passionate about helping others and spreading ADHD awareness. From arranging internal interviews to providing resources and accountability check-ins, I've assisted friends and colleagues in managing ADHD.
Since engaging with The ADHD Adults Podcast in 2022, I've been on a continuous learning journey. Becoming their audio producer and providing services for ADHDAF Podcast, I'm actively involved in the ADHD community and always seeking to expand my knowledge.
NO DIAGNOSIS IS REQUIRED
Recognizing the challenges of accessing NHS support for ADHD, I'm here to offer assistance without the need for an official diagnosis. If you believe I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me. Self-diagnosis is valid.

"Pat showed me how to organise the chaos when I was writing my dissertation, I wouldn't have been able to complete it without him showing me step by step how to use Word effectively to organise the material. He was calm, patient and explained everything in a way I could understand which allowed me to organise my thoughts and pass the course"

Testimonial
Arrange a discovery call
ADHD presents on a spectrum, making each individual's needs unique. That's why I offer a complimentary discovery call of up to 30 minutes to understand your specific situation and determine how I can best support you. During this call, we'll discuss your challenges, preferences, and desired outcomes to tailor a plan that meets your needs.
Communication can be customized to suit your preferences - whether you prefer phone calls, emails, or other forms of communication, simply let me know, and I'll accommodate your preferences.
