In their own words, hear what life after coaching looks like and the real change coaching brings
Ellie was the first person who truly made me feel understood. I could relax straight away, and it was amazing how well she understood my brain.She helped me understand how my ADHD works, while also showing me that it doesn’t define me. Through our work together, I gained confidence and practical strategies that really helped. I’m now going off to university — something I honestly don’t think I would have been able to do without Ellie’s support.
When I talk to Ellie, I could relax because I knew that I didn’t have to explain everything to her! she knew it all already – because she had ADHD too.
As an example, in our sessions she listened while we chatted about how I was and want was troubling me.
She would then help by giving me advice, different strategies to try on how to plan my work, set up my area, how to revise, when to work, when to have rest breaks & movement breaks to make the task less overwhelming.
I am also interested in getting fitter, so Ellie incorporated fitness, nutrition and wellbeing advice.
I always look forward to our sessions as she gets me and is always so positive and helpful.
I now can’t wait to join the Being Me community and hoping to meet other ADHD people my own age.
Before starting coaching with Ellie, I felt frustrated and didn’t really understand myself because of my ADHD. Ellie created a space where I felt safe, supported, and truly understood. She has never tried to “fix” me instead, she has listened and given me genuinely useful tools that I can use every day.
Since working with Ellie, I have made so much progress and now have a far better understanding of myself. I feel validated, more confident, and I am much kinder to myself. I am so thankful for all of her support and guidance and genuinely cannot thank her enough.
Before working with Ellie, I’d seen so many therapists and nothing really helped. From the very first session, I just knew this was going to be different — she understood me in a way no one else ever had.
I’m no longer constantly anxious. I can do my work without obsessing over it being perfect, and I feel so much more confident in myself. I go out, wear what I want, and don’t compare myself to everyone around me anymore.
Ellie honestly changed my life. I’m so grateful I found her, and I feel so much more confident in my job and in myself.”
Before working with Ellie, I struggled a lot with motivation and my confidence. She helped me understand how my ADHD actually affects me day to day, instead of just feeling like I was failing.
Through our work together, I built structure and consistency, especially around the gym. I’m no longer stuck in all-or-nothing thinking. I train regularly, look after myself better, and feel more confident in my body and mindset. Ellie helped me changed my mindset so I don’t become obsessive but actually enjoy things.
With Ellie, I finally felt understood and not judged. She helped me build confidence and find ways to do my homework without it feeling so stressful.
She also explained why I find certain things hard, which helped me stop feeling bad or getting angry with myself. I’m more organised now and feel much more in control.
Ellie also made me laugh a lot, which really helped in the sessions. I feel calmer, more confident, and much kinder to myself.”
I first met Ellie while taking her Pilates class. It was so refreshing and amazing to see a bright young woman, being open, proud and passionate about her ADHD life, struggles and wins. I thought she would be a great positive role model for my son to see someone being successful while navigating and dealing with her ADHD.
As she wants to use her personal experience, ADHD certified training and her personal fitness career to help other young people, so they didn’t have to struggle like she had.
So, I just had to talk to her about my son Sam, who was 18 months away from taking his GCSE exams and was struggling at school with his focus, grades were slipping and he was getting into trouble more for silly impulsive things.
Her coaching has helped Sam build his understanding of his ADHD, improved his resilience when facing setbacks and exploring new ways to develop his future knowing what suits the way he works and is wired and how to better communicate and deal with his relationships in different settings.
As we know people with ADHD are often not understood at all by people without it. I think by Ellie having it and (crude as it may seem) also being a rigorous rational intelligent and warm-hearted person means she really understands precisely what Sam needs.
Her personable friendly approach, backed up with vast knowledge and experience around the subject, makes her an excellent mentor and coach.
I would recommend Ellie/Being Me to anybody who is feeling frustrated and held back by ADHD.
So, a huge THANKYOU from very relieved mum, who wished I had this support and understanding when I was younger.
Ellie has helped me more than I ever thought was possible.
Before working with her, I constantly felt behind, overwhelmed, anxious and like I was failing at everything. I put myself down a lot and I didn’t really understand myself or my ADHD, and I was always stressed, negative, and exhausted.
Through our sessions, Ellie helped me to understand myself and how my ADHD brain works and for the first time (I was diagnosed at 17 and that was it!).
I learned strategies to help me to focus, get my work done or to help me do boring tasks like washing up!
I feel more in control, far less stressed, happier and more confident.
I go out more, I’m more social, and I argue far less with my family.
My relationship with my mum has improved so much, which I never thought would happen.
It had been very tough before but with Ellie, we had some joint sessions so she could understand me and Ellie helped me to explain my head and what I struggle with etc.
After a really difficult school experience and years of low self-confidence and anxiety, food issues, and feeling pressure around sport, I lost enjoyment and felt constantly nervous.
Ellie helped me feel okay with where I am and how I feel about myself. I’m enjoying life more now and don’t feel as anxious.
Ellie has been the only person who has truly been able to help me, and I’m so grateful that I found her when I did, I finally feel like I can get on with my life.
Small changes lead to big results.
