I’m Lizzie
I live in Scotland, and I work online with adults around the world.
I support (usually late-diagnosed) ADHD adults who feel overwhelmed, scattered, and frustrated that life seems harder than it should be. They’re often feeling exhausted, alone, burnt out. They’re often afraid that this is just another thing they’re going to fail at. I’ve been there.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2019, at the age of 25. Before that, I spent years not just believing, but in my heart knowing that I was unreliable, unfocused, or simply incapable of sticking with anything.
I could have given you any number of examples at the drop of a hat - I struggled at school, I rarely if ever got my homework in, I dropped out of university despite my love for the subjects I was studying, I bounced between interests and projects - I was mediocre at the flute (I never quite figured out how to breathe properly, I knew how to say a few words in so many different languages, but never could hold a conversation. I could play a single note on the violin pretty well! I didn’t know why change felt so impossible.
Getting diagnosed didn’t ‘fix’ me, but it did give me a reason for all the time I struggled. My challenges weren’t personal failures; they were the result of a brain that needed a different approach.
That understanding changed my life. It’s now the foundation of my work as a coach.
I have firsthand experience of feeling lost after realising that you don’t know what it is to be excited by your life anymore. Or the guilt when you realise you’ve stopped allowing yourself to succeed.
I want to work with you if you are excited to get curious, to play, and to go on a journey to find your own acceptance and true authentic joy.
My clients have ranged from students to business owners, from just-starting-out entrepreneurs to C-Suite executives, from people struggling with a lifetime of debt to HNWIs.
I coach life first. That means that whatever happens, your life, your own personal experience, is centre of all the work we do.
Before I trained as a coach, I spent years in the very same loop that almost all of my clients describe:
Constantly researching how to be “better” (meaning more organised, more consistent, more ‘normal’)
Feeling stuck and always blaming myself - maybe I’m just lazy? Maybe if I just tried harder this time?
Buying another course, another app, another productivity tool… and abandoning it after 25 minutes (sometimes up to 30!)
Cycling through bursts of enthusiasm and crashing guilt when that momentum faded
I was doing all the “right things,” but nothing felt like it fit. And without fail, I always believed that was my fault.
Here’s what I learned, and what I want you to know:
I promise that no matter how appealing, you don’t need another colour-coded system that falls apart right along with you the moment life gets lifey.
You don’t need to turn yourself into a productivity robot.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
What you do need — what I needed — is:
A place where you're not treated like a self-improvement project
Support that acknowledges the emotional exhaustion of “high potential, low follow-through”
Tools that actually adapt to your brain (not the other way around)
Permission to slow down and make choices from curiosity, not crisis
Collaboration instead of direction
That’s the kind of space I hold in my coaching work.
I refuse to push you through burnout or shame into action. Together we’ll slow down, learn and understand your patterns, and build systems that fit your actual real life energy and capacity.
I may not be the right fit for you if you’re looking for strict, discipline based coaching, or if you’re looking for someone to ‘fix’ you without self-reflection
I work with the kind of folks who:
Have tried everything, and still feel like something’s missing
Are wildly creative but struggle with follow-through
Feel stuck in the chaos, but perfectionism won’t let them accept it
Think “self-acceptance” sounds nice but impossible
Secretly fear they’ll never change, but keep trying anyway
(If that’s you, hello. You’re my people.)
Before I hired my first coach, I genuinely believed that I would be stuck forever. I’m a recovering people pleaser, a perfectionist, and will probably always go on endless tangents. I thrive in chaos, and love things just a little weird.
I learned how to accept that about myself, and then, after a little while, I actually accepted that about myself.
I spent years working in an industry I thought I’d never leave, living a life I only sort of liked, and now I get to coach incredible people, indulge in (many, often weird, always exciting) hobbies, and hang out with my cats. I’m happiest looking at trees, and hanging out near (and, usually by accident, in) water.
What coaching with me feels like:
Clients often say they came to me wanting techniques - ways to beat procrastination, get their calendar in order, to finally be ‘on top of things.’
And sure, we work on that.
But the thing that surprises them the most?
That the real shift came when they stopped trying to force change, and started making space for honesty, emotion, and self-trust, as well as building space for the overwhelm, the shame, the grief, the mess.
This isn’t productivity coaching disguised as kindness. This is actual radical self love, with room for your mess, room for your chaos, room for half finished ideas and guilt, and creative longing, and brain fog, and fear of failing over and over again. For you to show up exactly as you are.
And from there, change doesn’t feel like punishment, or just another thing to get wrong. It feels like possibility. It becomes inevitable.
