Colouring Myself In:
Embracing Every Part of My Story…
For years, I worked as a lecturer and mental health triage clinician, supporting others through challenging times while quietly navigating my own. Diagnosed with ADHD in 1998 and being in long term addiction recovery since 2004, I’ve learned firsthand how powerful self-awareness, resilience and authentic living can be.
After experiencing burnout in both 2022 and 2023, I realised the issue wasn’t my ability but the constant effort of adapting to environments that didn’t fit my neurodiverse brain. Coaching helped me reconnect with my values, strengths and dreams. Through this journey, I discovered the power of somatic practices, self-compassion and aligned support.
This experience inspired me to create Seen Heard Empowered, a coaching practice that works with the conscious and subconscious for those feeling overwhelmed, burnt out or out of sync with traditional systems. I now support individuals, entrepreneurs and professionals to manage stress, build resilience and reconnect with their true selves.
My mission is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can honour your individuality, build emotional balance and thrive... on your own terms.
About SHE;
Seen Heard Empowered was created to help people thrive and not just survive in both life and work.
I specialise in supporting neurodivergent clients, but my practice is open to all. My approach combines strengths-based coaching, subconscious reprogramming and somatic tools to help clients find calm, build resilience and develop lasting strategies for change.
As a neurodivergent woman with ADHD, I bring both lived and professional experience to this work. My background spans education, alternative provision, quality assurance and NHS mental health triage. This insight shapes a practice rooted in empathy, clarity and growth.
Pricing Philosophy
I believe that my services should be accessible to those who need it. That's why I offer a flexible pricing structure, including a community investment rate, ensuring support is available without barriers or judgment.
My offering with Seen Heard Empowered combines expertise, compassion and a commitment to real transformation, empowering clients to embrace their strengths and achieve their goals.
