Discover Yourself and Your Capacity!

On our journey together, we will discover that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is not something to endure or be sad about, but rather a gift that will help you shape your life and open doors to success on the journey of self-discovery.

The Coaching Process

How we will work?

Step 1

Beginning of the journey

When you feel ready to explore ADHD for yourself, your loved one or your child, you will have taken the most important step necessary to embark on a journey of discovery by choosing the date and time convenient for you and contacting me.

Step 2

Time for awareness

As someone with ADHD, we will do our first work with the questions I have specially prepared to understand and increase the awareness of you, your loved one or your child. Afterwards, we will set our goals for our journey of discovery.

About me

As an ADHD person who has been labelled as ‘differently-abled’ or ‘unique’ since my childhood, I am well aware of how difficult life is for children, adolescents and adults with ADHD.

Being different from the people around us, and being made to feel/perceived as a deficiency or inadequacy, causes us to question ourselves and feel worthless in many areas from our social life to our business life.

Regardless of the education I received, changing careers many times, my successes perceived as failures, my creativity, my eagerness to produce solutions to problems/questions, my awareness and most importantly my endless search showed me that ADHD is not something to be sad or afraid of, but on the contrary, it is a talent that can open the door to successes we cannot even imagine when we accept it.

For this reason, I decided to use my experience and awareness to increase the awareness of individuals or their loved ones with the same difference as me, to be with them on their journey to discover themselves, their talents and capacities, and to enlighten their path.

FAQ

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that leads to difficulties with attention, impulse control and hyperactivity. It usually occurs in childhood, but may persist into adulthood.

What are the symptoms of ADHD?

ADHD is defined by two main symptom groups:

  • Attention Deficit: Inability to sustain attention on tasks, forgetfulness, difficulty focusing.
  • Hyperactivity/impulsivity: Inability to stay in place, excessive talking, restlessness. Interrupting, not waiting for his/her turn, and acting without thinking.
Is ADHD a disease?

No, ADHD is not a disease, but a neurodevelopmental disorder. This means that areas of the brain involved in attention, movement and impulse control work differently.
