Mark Fielding
Hello. Im Mark Fielding. I am a Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience working with individuals and couples. I specialise in working with the neurodivergent community. I also a fully trained ADHD coach and neurodiversity coach. I work online. Having spent two decades working as a psychotherapist, alongside extensive experience in the adult care sector supporting neurodivergent individuals, I have witnessed first-hand the profound impact of understanding, acceptance, and tailored support. Throughout my practice, I have worked with numerous neurodivergent individuals and couples, often observing that while traditional therapeutic models provided a necessary foundation, there was a clear need for something more dynamic. Coaching emerged as the missing puzzle piece—a solution-focused, forward-looking methodology that perfectly complements my clinical background. It aligns deeply with my core values and allows me to provide a framework to facilitate meaningful progress in the lives of those I support. My coaching philosophy is rooted in collaboration. I strive to be a coach who sits alongside my clients, acting as a partner as they push forward, navigate challenges, and create positive change. I believe that the coach-client relationship is a sacred space, and I am committed to being a lifelong learner in the service of those I coach. My practice is guided by a fundamental principle: to mirror back to my clients the talented, capable, and authentic individuals they truly are. This is particularly vital for the neurodivergent community, as many of my clients have spent a lifetime internalizing negative messages from society, education systems, and even their own families. My role is to help them dismantle these damaging narratives and reconnect with their inherent strengths. In terms of my approach, I favour a relational model that avoids over-complication. While I am well-versed in various coaching frameworks and keep current with the latest research in the field, I frequently utilize the GROW model for its clarity and efficacy. However, I am not dogmatic; I remain flexible, integrating other models when they serve the specific needs of the coachee. I view the balance between directive and non-directive coaching as a fluid dance, led entirely by the client’s needs. If a specific theory, tool, or strategy can save a client time or energy—if it stops them from having to "redesign the wheel"—I will suggest it. My goal is to provide the scaffolding my clients may need to reach their goals, not to impose a rigid structure. I offer a free 20 minute initial Zoom meeting. This gives us the opportunity to meet and for any questions that you may have. Please do get in touch.

Steve Sylvan
James Dodds
Hi there! I’m an accredited ADHD coach with a practical, collaborative and neuroaffirming approach, helping adults better understand how their brains work and find strategies that genuinely fit their lives.
My coaching is particularly suited to people experiencing procrastination, overwhelm, difficulty getting started, organisation and time-management challenges, low confidence, perfectionism or feeling constantly behind. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, I work alongside clients to understand what is getting in the way and experiment with realistic, sustainable approaches.
I use a strongly visual and activity-based style, often incorporating diagrams, mapping exercises, practical tools and structured activities to make thoughts and patterns easier to explore. My aim is for sessions to feel engaging, supportive and useful, with clients leaving with greater clarity and something concrete they can take forward.
I completed the Award & Certificate in ADHD Coaching with Barrett Coaching & Training, accredited by the Association for Coaching and Universal Coaching Alliance, and I am continuing my professional development through the Diploma in Neurodiversity Coaching.
Alongside coaching, I have a background in digital marketing and hold an MSc in Marketing Management. This gives me a particular interest in supporting ADHD adults with work, careers, productivity, confidence and finding ways of working that are both effective and sustainable.

As background, having served over two decades in the military and a further fourteen years in a multinational business in varied senior roles, Adam decided to become a self employed coach and mentor in 2022. Using all that extensive “people and life experience” allows him to help others, especially those starting out in life, to navigate it far more effectively or to make people more successful and fulfilled. Throughout his life, his core values of justice, honesty, positivity, trust, creativity and empowering others have been a consistent theme: focussed on doing the right thing, but most importantly supporting and working with people to achieve success in their lives. For the past four years he has worked primarily as an ADHD Coach supporting young people from eight into their twenties; most in education, often struggling to navigate school or university. He also works with adults. Currently, Adam is supporting the young in 14 different schools (private and state) and various universities across the UK, some face-to-face and others on line. His website (www.jointhedotscoaching.com) explains what he does in more detail and he is featured on Life Coach Adam MacMillan-Scott - Salisbury - Life Coach Directory as an ADHD Coach with various testimonials. Adam’s empathetic, open and fun loving nature allows him build rapport quickly with the young.

Jamie Vasilyan
Kaye Ward
I am an ADHD coach with lived experience, having received my ADHD and Dyscalculia diagnoses at age 44 in 2024. Like many diagnosed later in life, I spent years wondering why certain things felt harder to me than they seemed for others. My coaching is centred around compassion, trust, and practical steps forward. I believe coaching works best when there is a genuine connection between coach and client, allowing you to feel comfortable discussing challenges openly and exploring them together and reducing feelings of shame. That’s often where the real breakthroughs happen. I am currently training to become a yoga teacher, which continues to deepen my interest in nervous system regulation, calm, and the connection between mind and body. A core belief that underpins my work is that when we learn to regulate our nervous system, understand how we function best, and reconnect with what engages and fulfills us, we are far more able to thrive in our lives. My approach combines empathy, practical support and genuine enthusiasm for helping people move forward in their lives. I am committed to helping clients build confidence, feel better about themselves, and develop a stronger sense of self-belief.

My coaching provides a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore what's getting in the way and to develop practical strategies that work for you. Whether you're looking to improve focus, manage overwhelm, strengthen executive functioning skills, build confidence, or navigate a recent diagnosis, I'll work alongside you to help you create meaningful and sustainable change. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to ADHD. Together, we'll identify what works best for you, helping you build on your strengths and achieve success on your own terms.

I am a qualified Executive coach who specialises in ADHD. I became interested in ADHD when my adult children were diagnosed in their late twenties. They inspired me to do an ADHD qualification.

I offer a combination of non-directive and directive coaching. As a result, I help people understand what ADHD is, how it presents for individuals and strategies to practice going forward to make life more manageable and fulfilled. I coach a range of people from young people in their twenties to late diagnosis in their sixties, including career change, CEO’s with overwhelm and women in peri/ menopause. By working with people on their strengths and individual needs, I develop good rapport to develop trust for people to lower the mask of ADHD.
