This March, I had the privilege of speaking at two incredible events for International Women’s Day, both focused on ADHD, perimenopause, and the unique challenges women face when navigating late diagnosis.

Getting an ADHD assessment in the UK can be a lengthy process, but here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate it:

When we talk about hormones and their effects on ADHD, much of the conversation centres around oestrogen and progesterone. But there's another key player that often gets overlooked—testosterone.

For many women, perimenopause can feel like an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Throw ADHD into the mix, and things can become even more challenging. One key player in this story is progesterone, a hormone that tends to decline during perimenopause. While much attention is often placed on oestrogen, it’s essential to understand how progesterone changes can also impact ADHD symptoms.

In an unregulated industry where anyone can call themselves a "coach," certification from recognised bodies like the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches (PAAC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is essential for ensuring quality, professionalism, and ethical practice.
