Hello, I'm Natalie. I offer face-to-face and online ADHD coaching, and creative retreat days, from my garden art studio just outside Stowmarket.Come as you are. The mask can stay at the door.
Lived experience, backed by decades of professional practice
Qualified ADHD coachThree things I bring that most coaches can't offer together.
I know ADHD from the inside.
Feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed and inconsistent. Great ideas that never get started. The masking, the shame, the rejection sensitivity and the creative bursts. I also know the huge relief of finally understanding my brain. That's the bit I want to help you find.
28 years as a Social Worker. 18 in mental health.
I've spent 18 years at a national mental health charity, working directly with people on their ADHD journey. I'm a qualified ADHD coach, trained with Barrett Coaching and Training, and a confidential, safe space matters hugely to me.
No generic advice. Your agenda, always.
Together we'll understand your wiring, patterns, strengths and values, and the barriers in the way. Then we build strategies that move you forward, instead of round the same loops that keep you stuck.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, and it took time to process. A year later I joined a group coaching session and everything changed. We recognised each other's stories, we were honest, and we really connected. I left with an exhilarating sense of belonging, and that's what inspired me to train as an ADHD coach.
Understanding my ADHD showed me how much I'd been carrying that never belonged to me: the self-blame, the shame, the confusion, and every reason I'd found for not moving forward. Once I knew my brain worked differently, I could finally offer myself compassion, and the courage to go after a life I'd only dared to dream about.
I love helping people tackle their barriers and limiting beliefs, and spot the best parts of themselves.
For 18 years I've worked with a national mental health charity, supporting people through exactly the things ADHD makes hard: starting and finishing tasks, impulse control, emotional dysregulation, shame spirals, self-trust, relationships, prioritising and organising. I'm also a qualified Social Worker, with 28 years' experience across addiction, offending behaviour, housing and mental health.
“I know exactly how it feels to try your best, and for it still not to be enough. You don't have to keep doing this on your own.”

From the outside, ADHD can look like laziness or lack of effort. From the inside it's masking, overwhelm, big ideas that stall at the starting line and a very loud inner critic. I know these well, from 18 years alongside people on their ADHD journey and from my own head.
Pop a bubble to see how it can feel, and what we might try together.
Each one is something ADHD brains know well. There's no wrong order.
Explore it together, gently, at your pace, with plenty of curiosity.
Coaching happens online by video, or face to face in my garden studio. It always starts with a free 30-minute chat about where you'd like to go.
I use a proven neuro-affirming framework. My approach is collaborative, curious, creative and trauma informed. Together we'll explore your ADHD brain, soften your inner critic and strengthen your inner coach, so you can build confidence and change that lasts.
Thirty relaxed minutes to see if we're a good match and where you'd like to head.
We explore your wiring, your patterns, and what's really going on underneath the overwhelm.
Your motivations, your fears and the things that get in the way, all out on the table.
Strategies that suit your brain, including healthy ways to meet your dopamine needs without burning out.
Coaching is practical. We look at where you are now, where you'd like to be and how you can get there, one step at a time. I stay within coaching boundaries.
A focused block of six sessions, shaped entirely around the direction you want to take.

Tap whatever sounds good and watch the postcard fill up. Nothing is booked, it's just a way to picture it. Everything is optional, and we'll see what unfolds on the day.
Lunches are vegetarian or vegan. Tell me about dietary needs in advance and I'll do my best to fit them in.

Body doubling means doing your task alongside another person. It's honestly one of the best support tools I know.
Until we can sit side by side, here's a little timer to borrow. Pick one small thing you've been avoiding, set a short time (a couple of minutes is plenty), press start, and watch the plant grow while you get on with it.
You don't need to stay on this page. The countdown keeps going and shows in your browser tab.
One small thing. That's all.
“My perfect day.”

Each session is guided by your agenda. We look at what's going on for you, get curious about your patterns and what's in the way, and find a next step that's genuinely doable for your brain. You leave with something practical to try, not a lecture.
£60 per 60-minute session, booked as a block of six (£360). Payment is upfront or per session. Further sessions can be booked afterwards if you'd like ongoing support. The first 30-minute chat is always free.
Either. We can meet by video wherever you are, or face to face in my garden studio just outside Stowmarket. Just say which you'd prefer when we have our free chat.
No. Whether you're diagnosed, on a waiting list or just wondering, you're welcome exactly as you are.
No, this is coaching, and I stay within coaching boundaries. Coaching is practical: where you are now, where you want to be and how to get there. Therapy helps you understand and heal from what has happened.
Not at all. Creative exploration is optional and open to everyone. Some days are full of fun and chatter, others are a chance to unwind and find stillness. We'll see what unfolds.
Just yourself, plus any project you'd like to focus on. All materials, refreshments and a vegetarian or vegan lunch are provided. Let me know about dietary needs in advance. We can try painting, collage, batik or origami mobiles, and there's Suffolk countryside right outside if you'd like a walk.
The property is single-level with a few small steps, and there's a small step into the studio through a patio door. Inside it's quiet, calm and sensory-friendly, and I'm happy to adapt the space to your needs where I can.
However we work together, I'll make sure you feel safe and listened to. People pleasing and masking can be left at the door.
Let me know how I can help and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. A free 30-minute chat is a lovely place to start.
