Support for Women Who Are Finally Understanding Themselves

Here’s a recent email I got from a workshop attendee. I want to share her message as I know it can help many others:

“Thanks, Kate. If it wasn't for that workshop you did where all the lightbulbs came on then I rather suspect I wouldn't have clocked on for a good while longer and probably be waiting forever now that the lists have grown even bigger! Regardless of the outcome of my assessment, I will always be grateful to you for your gentle illumination of all of this.

“I just feel that you're doing important work and it would help other women to know that you can be an academically successful woman on paper but still have ADHD and the challenges that it can bring up to be managed in the ways that you teach people.”

Are you newly diagnosed, waiting to be diagnosed or suspect you have ADHD?

If so, you may feel that your life has suddenly been turned upside down, while simultaneously making a lot more sense?

Perhaps you are beginning to finally understand yourself and who you are for the first time?

If you're newly diagnosed with ADHD, waiting for an assessment, or simply suspect you have it, you might be experiencing a mix of relief, grief, and confusion. You may have recently had lots of pivotal 'aha!' moments where you can now join the dots and recognise what you thought were negative traits, are now symptoms of your ADHD.

Suddenly everything makes sense—yet it also feels like your life has been turned upside down.

I know the feeling. I was diagnosed at 40, after years of masking, struggling with overwhelm, and wondering why life felt harder for me than it did for others. It took my daughter’s diagnosis for the mirror to be held up—and everything clicked.

You can be an academically successful woman, thriving in many areas of life, and still be dealing with the very real challenges of ADHD.

For as long as I can remember I have utilised my many masking/coping mechanisms to get me through difficult circumstances and situations. To the point of being mentally exhausted, overwhelmed and drained on a daily basis. Somehow, life and building a career felt harder for me than others.

Due to having a very kind and efficient husband, to whom I'm grateful every day, I now see how he picked up the pieces where I just didn't have the skills. Self-doubt, imposter syndrome and heightened sensitivity are some of the main symptoms of my ADHD, alongside some of the usual suspects of being pretty forgetful, hyper-focusing on random stuff which isn’t a priority, constantly losing items and generally just being a bit scatty.

On the flip side, my ADHD has allowed me to be highly creative, daring, fierce, fun, empathic and intuitve.

Now, as a Wellbeing and Emotional Freedom coach, as well as a mother to four kids, I want to support others to understand and importantly, accept their diagnosis more.

By using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) we can bring in more acceptance and validation to our recent ADHD diagnosis. The tapping can offer a shift in perception, helps reframe our current negative mindset and encourage more clarity and practical options to encourage more inner peace and emotional freedom.

Curious About EFT?

It’s not fancy. It’s not fluffy. It’s practical, powerful, and deeply intuitive. Each session involves tapping, breathing, and releasing – with space for curiosity, compassion, and healing.

I also offer free resources, interviews, and videos to help you explore EFT and ADHD in a safe, supportive way.
