Coaching is especially useful in learning to live with ADHD, particularly for developing organisational, time-management and planning skill. It is easier to learn new skills in combination with medication. Drs Lister and Stadler have advanced coaching qualifications and if you sign up for coaching with them they can manage both your coaching needs and monitor your medication in parallel.
Bookings may be made via our the online booking system (1 hour appointment).
Dr. Susie Lister is a GP with an extended role in ADHD. She has more than ten years of experience in medical education, and provides teaching for GPs and GP Trainees on neurodiversity.
Dr Collette Stadler is an experienced General Practitioner (GP) with specialist training in neurodiversity.
Then the following non-medical coaches have a special interest in ADHD and have been recommended to us by our patients:
I am a coach as well as CFO and COO, and have worked as a senior leader in Cambridge businesses for the past 25+ years.
I understand the challenges of running a business, have been a working parent, changed careers, moved countries, and know from first-hand experience how diversity enables us to perform better and think outside the box.
I set up my coaching practice in 2019 after receiving my coaching qualification from Cambridge University. I bring real-life experience of building highly effective teams, helping individuals to be at their best through a strength-focused and systemic coaching approach. I have worked with many neurodiverse individuals and believe that when using your neurodiversity well through increased self-awareness and seeking opportunities that play to your strengths, it can enrich your life and that of others.
Every coaching client is unique in their strengths, life experiences and personal qualities and I aim to help them each live their best life! Knowing yourself, what energises you, understanding how you best interact with others and vice versa is a key coaching focus. I focus on what already works well for you, what you want to change through either adding or removing it from your life.
I often use Lumina Sparks, a personality profiling tool, to gain an initial understanding of clients’ key strengths, preferred working, communication and leadership/management style. Coaching is not a magic wand, but most clients say that it gives them time to reflect, think, start designing and implementing plans of change.
For coaching to work well, the trust between client and coach is the key ingredient. I therefore invite you to have an initial session with me to see whether the chemistry between us enables open and honest conversations around your strengths, challenges and goals.
I am a life-long learner and have completed a Masters in Psychology with a dissertation focused on self-criticism and self-compassion in working parents. I am a member of the British Psychological Society, the Association for Coaching and a Chartered Accountant.
