ONE TO ONE ADULTS & PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH ADHD

  • Aoife is a very good listener, picking up things said during a consult and mirroring it back to you to help you with the issue at hand. Thank you Aoife, for a very helpful, insightful and pleasant experience in helping myself and my husband, better parent our neurodivergent family.

  • “Aoife offers very practical, science-based approaches to dealing with challenges which can be implemented straight away. Aoife’s help was invaluable when my son was going through separation anxiety. She gave both of us a clear understanding of how the brain worked as well as strategies which helped to remedy the situation.”

  • My daughter worked with Aoife for weekly online ADHD coaching sessions, and we were both extremely happy with the service. Aoife was incredibly understanding, supportive, and knowledgeable. My daughter gained valuable tools and confidence through the sessions, and I also benefited as a parent by better understanding how to support her. We're very grateful for Aoife's help and would highly recommend her to any family navigating ADHD.

  • Working with Aoife has been truly transformative. Before, I felt stuck but her guidance has helped me identify my strengths and set realistic goals. Her approach is supportive and informative, and I'm now actively pursuing opportunities and feel much more confident in my abilities. I'm grateful for her insights and the tools she's given me to navigate my life journey, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a life coach.

She has extensive knowledge of ADHD and provides strong support throughout each session. Aoife avoids overwhelming you with too much information, instead focusing on manageable tasks each week."

  • I feel so lucky to have Aoife in my life as I feel understood and I never feel judged. But most importantly I can take off my mask and let my ADHD brain out. She really has a way of teaching and knows her stuff !! I feel her passion for what she does and that gives me passion to learn more and adapt. We have a great healthy connection and I know she will always be part of my ADHD journey.

Unlocking Emotional Mastery Course

Spring 2024

“Aoife is an amazing addition, and we're so glad we found her. Her presentation is so articulate and warm. We did her UEM course as our child has ADHD so we wanted to learn as much as we can, and we just found it so helpful.

Aoife shares SO much, and it really is such a comfort. Her very generous resource lists are fantastic too, and I feel we got SO much bang for our buck. A list we can dip into when we have time, and audio files we can keep listening to, as with ADHD there is SO much to grasp onto. It needs a good few re-runs.

Thanks Aoife, and we wish you continued success with your spreading of ADHD knowledge onto the A-typical world and beyond. ADHD is everywhere, just so often, goes un-diagnosed. We will be following you, and well done with your Instagram feed too, it's so brilliant, and live and raw. Well done!!”

“Aoife’s course is wonderful as she too! A very human touch, and presented in a fool proof way, Understanding that you are watching this with fellow like-minded people is also comforting, as is the interaction afterwards. I would highly recommend this to anyone in doubt or recently coming to terms with a diagnosis! Knowledge is power!”

“Taking on a project like that (as an ADHDer) and delivering it live is an amazing achievement. I found your content really helpful albeit a lot to take on. Being able to watch back the live videos was really helpful. Your organisation skills and presentation skills in the way it was laid out are unreal. A huge well done and thank you Aoife.”

How Your Brain Works Course

Sligo Sudbury School (Jan - Mar 2024)

"I loved Aoife's neuroscience workshops. She taught me about my brain and what happens when I get angry. Now I know what to do in those situations and that's really helpful."

“Our three children attended Aoife's workshops and came away with a comprehensive understanding of how their brain functions. She tailored the content to the age range of the children. The youngest thoroughly enjoyed her use of puppets to communicate the message - what creativity!”

"I am so grateful to Aoife for equipping our children with the tools and language to better understand their own brains and support their own emotional regulation. It has been a wonderful investment in our family culture."
