I'm Ellie Kay. Coach & Mentor for ADHD & AuDHD women
I work with women who are doing their best to hold everything together. From the outside they often look like they’re coping. They’ve built careers, run businesses, managed teams or spent years trying to keep everyone else happy. Inside they’re exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering why life seems harder for them than everyone else.
That was me too. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 45 after spending 20 years running my own recruitment businesses, managing teams and constantly feeling like I had to work twice as hard just to stay on top of everything.
Since then I’ve retrained as an ADHD coach and now spend my time helping women understand how their ADHD or AuDHD brain works, reduce the overwhelm, build confidence and create practical strategies that work in everyday life.
Many of the ADHD or AuDHD women I coach are late diagnosed or undiagnosed. Some run their own businesses or work in leadership roles and others don’t. The common factor is that they all want life to be easier. To stop ending every day feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. And to reduce feelings of guilt and shame for our actions or lack of them.
I have a good understanding of how both ADHD and Autism shows up day to day, as I am a combined type ADHDer who is married to an autistic man.
Why work with me?
Coaching style:
My coaching is relaxed, honest and practical. There will probably be laughter and sometimes there might be tears. I don’t believe there’s one right way to do things, its about what works best for you.
The women I meet at the start of coaching are usually very different to the women I say goodbye to. Most of them come to me with feelings of low self esteem, from years of knock backs and often feelings of guilt and shame. Seeing them become more confident, happier and kinder to themselves is the best part of what I do.
I coach women from all walks of life from CEOs, Director and Business Owners and Leaders, to Employees, Students and Stay at Home Mums.
Many of my clients have co-conditions such as Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, OCD and Tourettes.
Many suffer from depression or Anxiety or have had past issues with addictions.
And many are late diagnosed women who feel a lot of regret and anger at what life could have been like, had their diagnosis been recognised earlier.
Qualifications and experience:
• ICF Level 1 Qualified Coach
• EMCC Member
• CPD Certified ADHD Coach
• CMC Registered Workplace Mediator
• Psychology Degree (2:1)
• Over 200 hours of ADHD and AuDHD coaching and mentoring
• More than 20 years running businesses and leading teams (so I understand the pressures of being a leader)
Alongside coaching, I’m also a workplace mediator, neurodiversity trainer and keynote speaker. My aim is to remove the stigma of ADHD, Autism and AuDHD by speaking, training and having conversations.
I believe that given the right environment, and support, neurodivergent individuals can live happy, successful and fulfilling lives.

Coaching Testimonials
"Working with Ellie was genuinely transformative for me. In just six sessions, she helped me move from an incredibly toxic and confidence-draining work environment into a role with exciting long-term potential.
What stood out most was her ability to balance practical career strategy with real emotional support. She helped me navigate and survive a very difficult situation while also rebuilding my confidence and reminding me of my value and strengths.
As an ADHD woman and mother, I also found her approach incredibly relatable and reassuring. She was warm, approachable and easy to talk to, while still being insightful, professional and highly effective. I never felt judged or overwhelmed. Instead I felt understood, supported and empowered to take action.
I can honestly say I would not have made this transition without her guidance, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone feeling stuck, burnt out or ready for something better."
Rebecca, Sales Exec
Ellie has created a safe space where I've been comfortable to talk about absolutely anything that's been getting in the way of my progress at work and in general life. She's patient, knowledgeable and truly understands what it's like to be AuDHD. Since working with her I've massively improved my performance at work through simple fixes and have learned how to be kinder to myself as an ND parent. Beth, Mental Health Worker
"Ellie’s not only helped me get more organized and productive in my personal life, but her background in business and recruitment means she’s also uniquely positioned to coach me on my recruitment business. She’s non-judgmental, thinks outside the box, and holds me accountable while understanding that my brain might mean I forget, leave things last minute, or procrastinate." Laura Rylah, Business Owner
Ellie helped me by giving me the tools to use my ADHD traits as strengths rather than weaknesses and helped me put processes in place to help me be more effective in the workplace and at home. I would recommend Ellie to anybody who is feeling frustrated and held back by ADHD. Her personable friendly approach, backed up with vast knowledge and experience around the subject, makes her an excellent mentor and coach. Thank you! Matt Wood, Engineering
Ellie has been life- changing in our coaching sessions. As someone with ADHD she was able to really relate to my concerns and help me arrive at conclusions about ways forward to improve both my personal and professional life. I can't recommend her enough! Eloise Osborne, Marketing
As Ellie has ADHD herself she gets me and she’ll get you. I would highly encourage anyone seeking to have coaching to give Ellie a shout. Amazing! Relaxing! Comfortable."
Dominque Smith, Student
"Ellie has been a fantastic coach over a series of 12 sessions. I have gone from having lost all confidence to having a deeper understanding of myself, my strengths and challenges, and the support and culture I need to succeed in the workplace. Ellie has guided me from being a late-diagnosed ADHDr working in “the wrong room” to a confident, empowered expert in my field back in control of my career. Her coaching drove me forward at pace, equipped me with valuable tools to understand myself, held me accountable, validated my experiences and rebuilt my confidence. Highly recommended!" Sarah, Marketing Manager
"I was really clear about what I needed when I started looking for an ADHD coach. I wanted a woman, with ADHD herself, who understood the reality of working in a fast paced, high pressure environment. Ellie met that and more.
When I found her, I was at a point where I genuinely felt like I was drowning. I was working constantly but still couldn’t keep up. It left me questioning myself completely: who I was as a practitioner and whether I was even good enough to support others and continue in my role. I felt genuinely broken.
Ellie just got it. There was no need to over explain or justify anything. Her openness in sharing her own journey, so honestly and without filters, made me feel understood in a way I had never experienced before. It helped me feel less alone and, more importantly, less like I was failing.
What has been most impactful is the coaching didn’t only focus on strategies (although those have been genuinely helpful, who knew you could sort emails by name and mass delete? Not me!!!). It has been about hearing real experiences, real challenges, and real ways of navigating them. That is what has stayed with me.
Ellie has supported me to pause, to park things when I need to (even when the injustice still burns), and to approach things differently without losing who I am. Her support has made more of a difference than she will probably ever realise."
Rachael, Social Worker
Over the past 12 weeks, I had the incredible experience of working with Ellie in an ADHD coaching course. During that time, not only did I finally receive my diagnosis and begin titration, but I also felt truly seen and understood, especially since Ellie herself has ADHD.
Her support meant everything to me; she celebrated each milestone with me and offered a listening ear on tough days.
With Ellie’s guidance, I picked up practical strategies for navigating challenges at work, dealing with conflict, coping with RSD, and even showing myself more compassion.
There were moments when I doubted myself, but Ellie’s encouragement helped me set achievable goals and stay focused. The tools and confidence I’ve gained from our sessions will stick with me for years to come.
If you’re living with ADHD, I can’t recommend Ellie enough. She’s helped me see my own strengths in a whole new light, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.
