Hi, I’m Sorcha, an ADHD Advanced Coach working with highly driven women in leadership who appear to have it all together, yet behind the scenes, everything feels harder than it should.

They are capable, intelligent and experienced, but they are constantly battling overwhelm, second guessing themselves and pushing through exhaustion just to keep up.

Many have recently been diagnosed with ADHD or are beginning to question whether there is a reason things have always felt this difficult.

I know this because I lived it.

I was born and raised in Dublin and grew up being told I had potential, if only I would apply myself and try harder.

Like many of the women I now work with, I learned to push through without ever understanding how my brain actually worked.

I found focus and discipline in ballet, which I trained in for 14 years, but in most other areas I felt inconsistent, distracted and unsure of my direction.

At 18, while my friends headed to university, I chose a different path.  I moved to Paris and later built an international career across Europe, North America and Australia — progressing into senior leadership roles in telecoms and IT, leading large-scale programmes, managing cross-functional teams and delivering in high-pressure environments. But behind the scenes, it came at a cost.

I masked. I overcompensated. I relied on pressure and adrenaline to perform, which inevitably led to burnout.

And over time, the burnouts became harder to recover from.

Then I began the process of ADHD assessments for each of my sons and something started to click.

In 2023, at 47, I was diagnosed myself.

For the first time, I understood not just what I had struggled with, but why.

Working with an ADHD coach gave me something traditional leadership development never had, a way to understand my brain and work with it, rather than constantly fighting against it.

What sets me apart

Lived experience and professional insight
I combine personal understanding with extensive training and corporate experience, bringing both empathy and credibility to my work.

Strengths based, neuroscience informed coaching
My approach is grounded in how your brain functions, focusing on practical strategies that work in real life.

Specialist support for midlife women
I understand how menopause and life transitions can intensify ADHD challenges and how to navigate them effectively.

Real, sustainable change
Clients leave feeling clearer, more in control and able to perform at a high level without the constant overwhelm.

The women I work with experience reduced overwhelm and mental load, clearer decision-making, stronger boundaries, greater confidence in their leadership and the ability to perform at a high level without burning out.

I am also a proud mum of two neurodivergent sons (ADHD & Autism/PDA), which means this work is both professional and deeply personal. I bring lived experience, corporate insight and coaching expertise to support individuals and organisations in navigating ADHD in a way that is practical, informed and grounded in real-world demands.

Because success should not feel this hard. And it does not have to continue this way.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"More informed, empowered, and confident"

"Through our coaching sessions I have been able to make sense of patterns that previously felt confusing or frustrating. I now have a much clearer understanding of why I respond in certain ways under pressure, why my energy, focus, and emotional regulation can fluctuate, and how sensory or cognitive overload can affect me. This insight has been incredibly validating and has allowed me to approach myself with greater compassion, rather than viewing these moments as personal shortcomings.

Importantly, the coaching has gone beyond increasing my self-awareness. It has also equipped me with practical, effective strategies to manage these challenges. I have learned how to recognise early signs of dysregulation, pause before reacting, and put supportive adjustments or coping mechanisms in place. These tools have already made a noticeable difference in how I navigate work demands and manage my overall wellbeing.

Overall, the coaching has left me feeling far more informed, empowered, and confident, both in understanding myself and in advocating for what I need in order to work at my best.

 Thank you Sorcha!"
