I’ve been there, and there’s hope. 🌱

We often believe that finding the perfect tool or strategy will solve our ADHD challenges, driving us to hunt desperately for the solution. But this approach keeps us trapped in the struggle, because ADHD isn’t something to "fix" or "overcome."
The key is to work WITH your ADHD, not against it!
​
By exploring what lies beneath your emotions, behaviours, and symptoms, we’ll uncover the root causes of your struggles. Together, we’ll create an innovative system that work for your brain—leading to a life of fulfilment, contentment, and alignment with who you truly are.

Hello
I'm Sumiko Stacey.
I'm a certified ADHD Life Coach, Executive Functions Optimizer, and a Neuroscience of Coaching Practitioner.
Leveraging ADHD and EF expertise alongside cutting-edge Neuroscience, I'll support you in designing a personalised blueprint for success, fostering lasting change and empowering you to lead a fulfilling life.
​
Through my own late diagnosis, I've gained a deep insight into the unique challenges of living with ADHD. This fuels my dedication to coaching, knowing how profoundly it can impact and change lives.

What 's ADHD Life Coach ?
Through ADHD Life Coaching, you’ll gain valuable insights into how ADHD impacts your daily life, allowing us to co-create tailored, practical solutions that optimize productivity, strengthen relationships, and elevate self-esteem—all while addressing the emotional complexities of ADHD.
Together, we’ll break through limiting beliefs and unhelpful thought patterns, empowering you to shift from struggling with ADHD to thriving in every aspect of your life!
Do I need diagnosis?
You don't need to have an ADHD diagnosis to benefit from working with an ADHD Life Coach. Whether you suspect you or someone you care about might have ADHD, or it’s not a concern for you at all, that's perfectly OK. Everyone's situation, struggles, challenges, values, strengths, and goals are unique.
​
We don't try to fit you into someone else's mold or solutions. Instead, we focus on cultivating a life that reflects your true self and plays to your strengths, unlocking a future filled with possibilities!
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a brain difference marked by an interest-driven focus, which enhances creativity and brings out unique strengths and positive qualities, allowing individuals to think outside the box and approach challenges with innovative solutions.
​
Due to an Executive Functioning impairment, some symptoms of ADHD can be particularly challenging and significantly impact daily life and self-esteem. The perception of weaknesses to overcome can feel like an identity, and the resulting guilt and shame can be overwhelming.

Testimonials
What clients says about the coaching sessions with Sumiko.
Michelle
Coaching with Sumiko helped me explore some difficult area of my life where I felt stuck.
Sumiko created a safe space for me to uncover some limiting thoughts and beliefs. Her thoughtful questions and insights allowed me to feel safe to dig deeper into how I could get out of my own way.
Coaching with Sumiko was transformational for me.
Tricia
I have had many coaching sessions with Sumiko. As a parent of 2 young adults with ADHD, I often brought issues to coaching where I was struggling to work out the best way forward. Sometimes the issues were just my own challenges. Sumiko always showed me great compassion and understanding and combined this with gentle but skilled expertise in coaching. It was so helpful to have her support to help me explore my own situations and identify my own solutions. Highly recommended.
Amila
I've had the privilege of working with Sumiko who helped me understand and support my child with ADHD while also supporting me in coping with the challenges.
I highly recommend Sumiko to any parent seeking a compassionate and effective approach to understanding themselves and their child with ADHD.
