Running a successful business with unmanaged ADHD shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process.

If you're tired of holding it all up at work but falling short at home, it's time to face what's really burning you out.

I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners living with ADHD, addiction or both, and I see the same pattern again and again. They’re exceptional at building, creating, and pushing things forward in their business, but it nearly always comes at a cost.And that cost, unmanaged, can look like:

Working longer hours than anyone else, yet never feeling truly in control

Coming home burnt out and emotionally shut off from the people who need them most

Living on the edge of burnout, masking it with caffeine, adrenaline, or sheer willpower

Emotional highs and lows that spill into relationships, decisions, and self-worth

Numbing the noise with whatever’s closest — work, screens, alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling, even porn

Running a business with ADHD often means you’re managing two workloads at once.The external one everyone sees. And the internal one nobody does.Eventually, that internal load starts to leak.For a lot of business owners, that leakage doesn’t show up as burnout alone. It shows up as addiction.ADHD and addiction overlap far more than most people realise.Not coincidentally.Often as a way of regulating the chaos.After years of working with clients in this space, the pattern is always familiar. It usually lands in one of four places:ADHD on its own
Addiction on its own
Both running side by sideOr ADHD that was never diagnosed and has been quietly driving addictive behaviour in the backgroundThis is where things tend to break down.Most ADHD specialists don’t work with addiction. And many addiction specialists don’t understand ADHD.So one side gets addressed while the other keeps pulling the strings.People do the work.
They commit.
They try to change.And still end up stuck in the same loop, confused about why progress never holds.That’s why it matters who you work with.

Why I Do This Work

I’ve spent most of my life helping people find their way back from burnout, addiction, and chaos because I’ve lived through all three.

Professional background

  • Studied Addiction Counselling at the University of Bath

  • Former programme manager in residential rehab

  • Worked within prisons supporting recovery and rehabilitation

  • Led therapy teams and supervised other counsellors

  • Now an ADHD Life Coach and Specialist Addictions Counsellor, working exclusively with business owners, founders and leaders

Lived experience

  • 25 years clean and sober, after rehab, recovery, and rebuilding life piece by piece

  • Father and stepfather

  • Went through a divorce after 14 years and found lasting love with my wife

  • Watched my own father lose his life to alcoholism

  • Diagnosed with ADHD at 37 — the moment everything finally made sense

My diagnosis changed everything and nothing at the same time.Finally, an explanation — but still the same brain.It was the moment I stopped blaming myself for the chaos of the past — and saw that the future was mine to rebuild.But understanding it didn’t quiet the noise or undo the habits. It just made me see them more clearly.And in that clarity, I began to see the link between my drive and my destruction. Between achievement and exhaustion. Why I could build a business yet lose myself in the process.In the end, what made the difference was simple.I’d spent years studying human behaviour and helping others rebuild their lives — but turning that knowledge inward was something else entirely. It forced me to live what I’d been teaching.Now I help others break that same cycle.

What I Do (and Don’t Do)

What I don’t do

  • I don’t promise quick wins or empty motivation.

  • I don’t help you “manage” ADHD by pushing harder or adding more structure to the chaos.

  • I don’t work with anyone who isn’t ready to be honest — about where they are, and what’s really going on.

What I do

  • Help you uncover what’s driving the constant push — the patterns and pressure that leave you running on empty.

  • Help you step out of performance mode and rebuild your energy, focus and relationships.

  • Bring 25 years of counselling experience and lived recovery to help you build change that lasts.

Who This Is For

Business owners, founders and leaders who:

Want to feel focused and steady again without burning out to keep things moving.

Are ready to replace short-term fixes with lasting change, and finally understand what drives their stress, distraction or addiction.

Want their relationships — with their partner, their kids and themselves — to get the same energy, patience and care they give their business.

If you’re looking for a quick boost or a short-term fix, this won’t be for you.But if you’re ready to face the truth, stop running on fumes, and build something that finally lasts — this is where it starts.

What Working Together Looks Like

I offer a 12 week Escape the Chaos programme designed around you and the stage of life you’re in.Every person I work with is different, which means the process never looks exactly the same twice.There is only one fixed point.We always begin by going deep into your story — the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that still drive your decisions today.What we uncover there shapes everything that follows.From that point on, the work is tailored to what you need, at the pace you need it.There is no rigid week-by-week syllabus because real change isn’t linear. It’s personal.But the goal is always the same:

To understand what’s driving your patterns, reduce the overwhelm and build a steadier, more sustainable way of living.

There are two ways of working with me:

Remote

Weekly one hour sessions over video, giving you consistent support and clarity each week.£2,795

Combined

Video sessions plus two half day workplace visits for deeper insight into how your environment shapes the way you work and feel.£6,995

Both run over 12 weeks.

How It Works

Book a free 30-minute call.
On it, we will:

Get to know each other and talk about what is really happening day to day.

See whether this work feels like a good fit for you.

Talk through what the next steps could look like if it feels aligned for us both.

I only take on a small number of clients I’m confident I can help.If it turns out we’re not a fit, that’s okay — it just means the timing or situation isn’t right.If we are, you’ll know exactly what to expect.

P.S. Every week you wait, the pattern gets a little deeper and a little harder to shift.

If any part of you knows it’s time to change, trust that.
