Sarah & ADHD Thrive

Hello! I am a proudly queer neurodivergent woman, living in nipaluna, Tasmania, and I am ADHD Thrive.

ADHD Thrive was born from need. After I was diagnosed at 35, so many women and gender diverse people wanted to talk about it. So many asked me for help, either for themselves or for a loved one. Acquaintances, clients, friends, strangers sent to me by friends, it was continuous.

My heart ached for each of these people, all of them feeling like they were broken and so far away from accessing services. I am a performance coach and a team leader by trade, and so I decided I could use these skills to help in a more meaningful way. After battling the old ADHD imposter syndrome, I started ADHD Thrive. I want to assist gender diverse, trans, non-binary and cis women to better understand and work with their amazing brains, instead of fighting against them.

About Coaching

So, what exactly is ADHD coaching and why would anyone want it?

Well, one way to think of it is in terms of a sports coach. When I wanted to learn to weightlift, I knew I had some specific challenges that I bring with me into the gym. My coach asked questions about those, and helped me to find out what my weightlifting goals were. They then supported me while I trained towards those goals.

A good coach can’t do the work for you, but they can help you to work out exactly what it is you want to achieve, and how you can achieve it. It is asking you to reflect on how and why you do things, and giving you a supportive sounding board to play with new ideas. A good coach will also respectfully hold you accountable to your individual aims.

In an ADHD context, a coach helps you find out what really does and doesn’t work for your individual brain, and for your individual life. It is to provide a safe space for you to think about how your neurodivergence affects you, and what you might like to change about that.

Ultimately, I want us all to thrive.
