Many adults only learn they have ADHD later in life. Alongside finally understanding yourself comes the waves of grief for all those years that may feel like wasted potential. If only. And that sense of urgency you may have always had, but is now much more pronounced. You feel the passing of time, and now you just want to figure out how to get things done.
The good news? It’s not too late to start living with intention and build systems and strategies that work for you. I’m not here to tell you that ADHD is a superpower. Actually, that’s what I would call ‘fake news’. I’m here to help you discover what works for you naturally, by providing a space where you can reflect, observe yourself, try out strategies, lean into your strengths and creativity, understand what your ‘authentic’ looks like, and help you manage your specific ADHD challenges in a way that makes life feel good.
Hi, I’m Kirsten, an ADHD coach for writers and creatives, academics and late-diagnosed. I am also a professional editor with over 15 years of experience. Originally from Toronto, Canada, I’m now based in Vienna, Austria, and work with clients worldwide. With a background as a writer, editor, and certified ADHD coach, I support neurodivergent creatives in finding focus, finishing projects, and building systems that work with their brains — not against them. Whether you’re in the UK, Europe, North America, or beyond, I offer flexible online sessions that fit your schedule.
Are you a writer, creative, or recently diagnosed adult struggling to get things done, manage overwhelm, or finish the projects that matter most? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to do it alone.
Coaching designed to uncover your strengths, find solutions for your challenges, and honour how your ADHD mind actually works, giving you the feedback, structure, and accountability you need to build clarity, momentum, and strategies that stick.
Coaching is for you if you:
I’m a native English-speaking editor based in Vienna, working with clients worldwide on books, business documents, and creative projects. While AI tools can catch basic errors, I provide human insight, feedback, and nuance that ensures your writing communicates exactly what you intend.
Whether it’s a manuscript, report, or creative piece, I’ll help you make your work clear, professional, and ready to share— with feedback tailored to your project and goals.
Writing, creating, and living with an ADHD brain can feel like pushing through fog, or worse, like herding cats — especially if you've been diagnosed as an adult and spent years wondering why focus, follow-through, and finishing things feels so hard. The problem isn’t lack of passion or talent. It’s trying to navigate your goals with a brain that’s wired differently — often without the support or strategies that actually work for you.
