Executive & ADHD Coach

About Graham

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 53. Rather than allowing my diagnosis to define me, I chose to understand it. That journey helped me make sense of many of the challenges and strengths that have shaped my life, relationships, education, career, and wellbeing.

Alongside my own lived experience, I am also the parent of a neurodivergent child., well he's now an adult. This has given me a deep understanding of the realities faced by neurodivergent young people and their families. I support parents, teenagers, college and university students, and young adults entering the world of work to better understand their strengths, overcome challenges, and build confidence for the future.

Since my diagnosis, I have worked extensively with neurodivergent individuals, particularly autistic and AuDHD clients. I understand that every person's experience is different, and my coaching approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to the individual.

Before specialising in ADHD and neurodiversity coaching, I spent over 25 years in leadership and sales management roles within the construction and electrical sectors. I later qualified as an Executive Coach and Mentor through Oxford Brookes University and have worked with clients ranging from middle management to board-level leaders across the UK and internationally.

Today, I combine executive coaching expertise with lived neurodivergent experience to help individuals, families, leaders, entrepreneurs, and organisations create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive.
