I am an ICF accredited life coach, specialising in ADHD, based in County Sligo, Ireland. I am a late diagnosed ADHD adult who knows too well how hard it can be to navigate life with a neurodivergent brain.

For years, I struggled with anxiety, memory loss, time blindness, and low self-esteem, without understanding why. In school, I was scattered, distracted, and bored.

For many years I felt like I did not belong. I believed I was lagging behind my friends and peers and frequently felt like a failure. This was especially true when I became a mother. 

It was not until I received my late diagnosis that I began to understand my own neurodivergent brain. I learnt how to harness my strengths and extend kindness and compassion to myself. I began to celebrate my unique way of thinking, learning, and expressing myself. I learnt how to use these to my advantage. I also developed skills to manage the challenges of ADHD, such as poor time management, lack of focus and procrastination. 

I became an ADHD coach to help other neurodivergent adults and families discover their potential and live a fulfilling life. Everyone deserves to be content, confident, and successful, regardless of their neurotype. To that end, I offer personalised neurodivergent coaching sessions, blended with neuroscience and mental health education to elevate your coaching experience.

Read about others experience of working with me.

  • “I am more regulated, motivated, calm and knowledgeable since having time with Aoife. She helped me with every aspect of my life. She never judged, she allowed tears and creativity to flow and the conversations I had with her were the best I ever had in my life. I will never forget her and the changes she made in my life.”

    Christina

  • “Aoife offers very practical, science-based approaches to dealing with challenges which can be implemented straight away. Aoife’s help was invaluable when my son was going through separation anxiety. She gave both of us a clear understanding of how the brain worked as well as strategies which helped to remedy the situation.”

    Miriam

  • “Aoife’s help and advice where invaluable to me and my family. It set me on a path of awareness and changing the way I parent for the better. She also taught me a lot about self care, our whole family has reaped the benefits of this. We are a much happier and calmer home now. I can’t recommend her enough.”

    Elaine

  • “We contacted Aoife as we were at a loss as to how support our child who was struggling with anxiety. Within a few sessions of working Aoife we could start to see small chinks of light. Aoife provided a wealth of resources that were both age appropriate and applicable to our situation. It made such a difference having these tools while we waited for therapy to start. Thank you Aoife.”

  • "Aoife is an excellent coach with a deep understanding and empathy, making her highly effective in guiding sessions. She has extensive knowledge of ADHD and provides strong support throughout each session. Aoife avoids overwhelming you with too much information, instead focusing on manageable tasks each week."

    Siobhán

  • “I cannot say enough about how much Aoife has helped me through our journey. She got me to think more about what and how I could prioritize my happiness. She also made sure that I acknowledged my wins no matter how big or small. I’m truly going to miss working with Aoife. She is a blessing.”
