Laurence gets it. What I mean by that is he implicitly understands what it’s like to live with ADHD and grapple with the daily challenges. As a late diagnosed woman, following a life of masking, challenges and not being able to figure out what’s different about me – to be given space in a coaching environment to unpick, understand and strategise through coaching conversation, open questions, goal setting, reflection and tools is so refreshing.

For the first time I didn’t feel a need to have to explain or hide myself or make excuses. I was able to be completely open and honest about my struggles and challenges and feel heard and understood. While at the same time recognising strengths and positives. That’s like real gold when you’ve experienced so many misunderstandings, miscommunications and anxiety about how to function in this world! Pair that with the tools, resources and reflection provided – Laurence’s coaching is a powerful tool to help individuals truly understand themselves and identify tangible strategies to overcome challenges (in a way that works for the ADHD brain)!

I felt more empowered in just a few short sessions with Laurence than I have in any other 1-1 setting. Late diagnosis is a tricky process – years of masking and ableism to unpick and work through. ADHD coaching is just one more tool in helping to release the associated shame and guilt, enabling a few more steps forward in reaching an appreciation of who you are… to live authentically as yourself.

Laurence actively listens, hears you (and you know he does by how he reflects back to you), seeks to understand without assumption or judgement by asking coaching questions that focus the mind and open new thinking / perspectives. Laurence provides useful tools and reflection activities that are enjoyable to do (and not too involved) providing an app that enables you to keep it all in one place!

Thank you for your time, patience and understanding Laurence, it was massively appreciated and impactful and in such a short space of time.
