ONE TO ONE ADULTS & PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH ADHD

  • “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 were 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.”

    Parent

  • “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."

  • “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.”

Unlocking Emotional Mastery Course

Spring 2024

“Aoife is an amazing addition, and we're so glad we found her. Her presentation is so articulate and warm. We did her UEM course as our child has ADHD so we wanted to learn as much as we can, and we just found it so helpful.

Aoife shares SO much, and it really is such a comfort. Her very generous resource lists are fantastic too, and I feel we got SO much bang for our buck. A list we can dip into when we have time, and audio files we can keep listening to, as with ADHD there is SO much to grasp onto. It needs a good few re-runs.

Thanks Aoife, and we wish you continued success with your spreading of ADHD knowledge onto the A-typical world and beyond. ADHD is everywhere, just so often, goes un-diagnosed. We will be following you, and well done with your Instagram feed too, it's so brilliant, and live and raw. Well done!!”

“Aoife’s course is wonderful as she too! A very human touch, and presented in a fool proof way, Understanding that you are watching this with fellow like-minded people is also comforting, as is the interaction afterwards. I would highly recommend this to anyone in doubt or recently coming to terms with a diagnosis! Knowledge is power!”

“Taking on a project like that (as an ADHDer) and delivering it live is an amazing achievement. I found your content really helpful albeit a lot to take on. Being able to watch back the live videos was really helpful. Your organisation skills and presentation skills in the way it was laid out are unreal. A huge well done and thank you Aoife.”

How Your Brain Works Course

Sligo Sudbury School (Jan - Mar 2024)

"I loved Aoife's neuroscience workshops. She taught me about my brain and what happens when I get angry. Now I know what to do in those situations and that's really helpful."

“Our three children attended Aoife's workshops and came away with a comprehensive understanding of how their brain functions. She tailored the content to the age range of the children. The youngest thoroughly enjoyed her use of puppets to communicate the message - what creativity!”

"I am so grateful to Aoife for equipping our children with the tools and language to better understand their own brains and support their own emotional regulation. It has been a wonderful investment in our family culture."
