Meet Aimee: ADHD Coach for Girls and Women

Hi, I’m Aimee,

For over ten years, I worked as a secondary school teacher in Dubai and the UK, supporting young people through some of the most important and challenging years of their lives.

I was always drawn to the students who felt misunderstood or a little “different.” The ones who were bright, thoughtful and full of potential, but quietly struggling to keep up. What I didn’t realise at the time was that I saw so much of myself in them.

Behind the scenes, I was constantly wondering why everyday life seemed to feel harder for me than it did for others. I struggled with motivation, planning, emotional ups and downs, and the invisible mental load of trying to “keep up,” all while masking how exhausted I really was.

In 2022, after pushing through a period of burnout, I finally discovered that I was AuDHD (autistic and ADHD).

Discovering I was an AuDHDer gave me the language, self-understanding and self-compassion I’d been missing my whole life. At the same time, my experience as a teacher made something very clear to me.

So many ADHD girls were slipping through the cracks.

They were masking, overcompensating, burning out, and often being misunderstood, while quietly believing they were the problem. As both a neurodivergent woman and a teacher who had worked closely with young people for over a decade, I could see and feel what they were going through. 

That combination of professional experience and lived experience is why I do what I do today.

I help ADHD girls and women understand their brains, challenge harmful stereotypes, and build systems and strategies that work for them.
