I have ADHD and love it. Until I was 47 I thought I was stupid. School was a challenge as I seemed incapable of studying in any conventional way and found exams completely overwhelming. Immediately after my final exam I left for England, while my friends went to university and on to professional careers.

For over twenty years, although my life seemed privileged and exciting from the outside, I never found a fulfilling career or personal contentment.

In 2013 my psychologist step-sister, with whom I had recently reconnected, suggested I get tested. It turned out I am not stupid; and have an unusual learning style and ADHD.

It was as if the lights were switched on. It explained everything: my lack of confidence, relationship insecurities, as well as my static and unsatisfactory career.

Since then, every aspect of my life has changed for the better. I trained through the BPS as an ADHD coach and I am wholly committed to helping people of any age find solutions, gain confidence and explore new opportunities.

It’s never too late.
