I can’t express how much my time with Lex has changed not only my life but my children’s and wider people around me. I felt broken and flawed but Lex saw me before I could; she gently and compassionately generated alternative perspectives, expanded my curiosity, coached and helped me let go of the judgement and “shoulds”! I’ve chucked a fair lot in that fuck it bucket now ha - I have less shame and feel more empowered with a stronger sense of my wants, needs and strengths. How incredible is it to say that about myself hey!!
Lex was pivotal during a particularly painful period of my life - she offered a consistent safe space to just be and moved with what was needed each session which felt incredibly validating and I have truly learnt so much from working with her.
Lex’s style of normalising and being very real helped me connect and let go of the fear of judgement. The pacing felt right and there was no pressure or expectations. I always felt in control of what came up and what I took out of the session. Lex had loads of knowledge about range of things meaning I now have loads of skills in my toolkit as well as the knowledge and understanding. Lex recalled prior sessions and topics discussed, I appreciated her investment in my journey and ability to see connections and patterns.
The work I did with Lex is truly life changing and I feel so privileged to have been a client of hers and to have connected so incredibly with a coach. I found Lex fun, creative, caring, knowledgeable, bloody awesome and inspiring and all the other lovely words! Thank you thank you!!
I was initially quite nervous about starting these sessions as I am self-diagnosed ADHD, but from day one Lex made me feel comfortable enough to discuss my challenges and the question of diagnosis didn’t even come up.
I thoroughly enjoyed each session. It felt as though I was speaking to a friend; a friend who just happened to have a lot of knowledge about ADHD and how to cope better on a daily basis.
I know my ADHD won’t be cured or disappear but I’m confident that moving forward I can navigate my way around most barriers I face using the skills and techniques Lex taught me.
Lex has quite literally changed my life. Lex helped me through the most challenging stages of my life and when I literally felt I was about to break, she was there.
Lex helped me recognise my worth and celebrate my neurodiversity whilst not playing down how disabling it can feel at times.
She has let me rant, cry and laugh while reminding me that it’s okay to live as my authentic self!
Coaching helped me recognise my strengths and find strategies to manage things I struggle with. I changed jobs twice until I found the right option, I started a dream business and learned so much about my brain!
I forgave myself for what I perceived as short comings but actually I just had undiagnosed ADHD and nobody noticed. I am so lucky to have found Lex.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD was a confusing and unexpected process for me as it came as a bit of a surprise at the age of 29. I was given some information from the doctor with websites but I was looking for local support groups and couldn't really find anything.
I found the Headstuff ADHD website and I'm so glad I contacted them. Sarah was so helpful and advised me about Access to Work funding and paired me with Lex who could help me with ADHD coaching.
I never would have known how much help and support I could get for work and Lex helped me do the ATW application and explained the process step by step.
I also couldn't have afforded to pay for coaching myself and having this option was extremely helpful.
I have worked with other professionals and counsellors in the past but Lex's approach and ADHD informed knowledge has helped me immensely.
I now have words for all the difficulties and struggles I experience and am beginning to understand how my brain works and how to approach life. She has also been amazing at getting to the root causes or emotions of what I'm experiencing when I can't really verbalise or express it.
I feel truly understood and empowered and I feel like I know myself more now than I ever have.
My communication skills have improved personally and in my relationships and I feel more resilient within myself. I also feel more confident and value myself more and am more aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I understand my triggers and know what I need to function better.
I think before having coaching I had a lot of self blame and low self esteem resulting from being undiagnosed and not understanding why I couldn't just 'do life' the way other people seem to.
I'm so glad I have had this experience as it really has changed my life and this is only the beginning. I just wish I knew earlier and had the support, but I'm so happy I have it now.

I reached out to Headstuff during a period of desperation to gain support for my son.
Having battled for 3 years knowing he was ADHD with potential ASD but receiving no support or acknowledgement from his School, I felt completely alone and scared for my sons future.
Headstuff quickly matched me with Lex who not only understood from a professional perspective, but also as a parent and carer of a very similar child to my own.
Lex supported me in a virtual meeting with the School, of which I had previously attended many and always been parent-shamed instead of offered support.
Very quickly she was able to dispel the myths and deflection from staff, challenging them on their failings and holding them to account by quoting Code of Practice and entitlement not offered to my son.
I cannot thank Lex enough for everything she did in the meeting, giving my son and I strength, hope and actions towards a better future!
I wouldn't want to attend any meeting without the support of Lex now and the absolutely fantastic job she does.
