My Story — Finding Clarity Through Lived Experience
From parent carer, to ADHD coach and trainer, a journey shaped by empathy, learning, and lived understanding.
My own ADHD and parenting journey shaped not just how I see the world, but how I help others navigate theirs.
About me
Hi, I’m Becky Robinson, an ADHD coach with lived experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and strengths that come with neurodivergence.
I’ve lived with ADHD for over 40 years, though it went unidentified for most of my life. That late diagnosis was a turning point: it helped me make sense of lifelong patterns and gave me the language to advocate for myself and others.
I’ve also spent more than 26 years as a parent carer to my three neurodivergent children. That experience, alongside my coaching and mentoring work, shapes everything I do. I’ve supported, mentored, and advocated for parent carers since 2018, and I bring that insight into every session.
Professionally, I’ve been practising as an ADHD coach for over 18 months, building on many years of coaching and mentoring in both voluntary and professional roles. I understand the emotional and practical realities of life with ADHD, and I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported to grow.
How I Work With You
I’m an EMCC Accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner level, with extensive training in ADHD and neurodivergent coaching.
My approach is neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw on research, lived experience, and a holistic understanding of ADHD: always working collaboratively and at your pace.
Each coaching relationship is built on empathy, respect, and curiosity. It’s a space to make sense of your experiences and move forward in ways that feel right for you.
I’m also a parent carer to three incredible neurodivergent children. My experiences as both a parent and a professional have shaped the empathy, realism, and warmth I bring to my work.
ADHD Training
Alongside coaching, I also deliver ADHD and neurodivergence training.
I’ve worked with parent carers, educators, and professionals to build understanding, challenge stigma, and support more positive family life. My training blends lived experience, research, and reflection, helping people see ADHD through a clearer, kinder lens.
As a Coach
I am a qualified ADHD and neurodivergence coach and have completed many hours of training and continuous professional development (CPD). I am an EMCC Accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner level.
I trained and qualified as a coach because I believe in the power of having space: space to think, to be heard, and to figure things out in your own way. ADHD coaching gave me tools to make sense of my own experiences and move forward with more self-trust. It wasn’t about fixing or changing who I am, but helping me to deepen my understanding of myself and build a life that works for me.
My approach is neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw on research, theory, and lived experience, always with empathy at the core. I aim to create a space where people feel accepted, validated, and able to show up as they are, without judgment, assumptions, or fixed agendas.
Together, we’ll start where you are and move forward at your pace.

As a Trainer
I’m also an experienced ADHD trainer and group facilitator, delivering sessions grounded in personal insight, professional knowledge, and evidence-based practice. I’ve developed and delivered training for a wide range of audiences, including parent carers, local authority staff, trainee teachers, and education professionals.
I became a trainer because I believe in the power of increasing understanding—not just about what ADHD is, but how it really shows up in everyday life, especially when it overlaps with other forms of neurodivergence. My training aims to shift perceptions, challenge stigma, and highlight the often-overlooked strengths of ADHD.
Like my coaching, my training approach is neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed, and inclusive. I draw on lived experience, parent carer insights, professional practice, and current research to create sessions that are warm, collaborative, and psychologically safe.
