ADHD life coaching for adults who want REAL change — creatives, thinkers, feelers, and those still holding onto hope.
Do you ever lie awake at night thinking...
“Why can’t I just get it together?”
“Why is everything so hard — even the small stuff?”
You’re not lazy, you’re not failing, and you’re definitely not alone. ADHD just needs a different kind of support.
So many of my clients come to coaching after years of masking, pushing through, and overthinking. They’ve done the hard work of keeping up — but still lie awake at night, stuck in the same mental loops:
Fear of falling behind — again.
You try so hard to stay on top of things, but the tasks, the deadlines, the daily routines... they slip. You wonder,
“Why can’t I keep up like everyone else?”
Overthinking everything.
You replay conversations, overanalyse decisions, and second-guess yourself constantly. Your brain just doesn’t know how to switch off.
Worry about the future.
You wonder if you’ll ever feel on top of life — if things will ever feel calm, clear, or doable.
The truth? ADHD in adulthood is real — and it’s exhausting.
But with the right support, it’s also manageable. My coaching is designed to help you: Understand your ADHD with clarity and compassion. Build realistic systems that work for your brain.
You don’t need to do this alone anymore.
When we work together I will...
Work with you to develop personalised strategies to help you conquer the challenges of ADHD.
Provide unwavering support at all times, while identifying and celebrating your unique ADHD strengths.
Support you to unlock your full potential, all while adding a touch of enthusiasm and positivity to your journey together.
Let go of guilt, and take small, sustainable steps forward.
Life coaching with me is about learning practical tools to create the life you want.
— with support, clarity, and no judgment.
Coaching is forward-focused and completely guided by your goals — whether that’s building better habits, finding focus, managing overwhelm, or just feeling more in control of your day-to-day life.
Many of the adults I work with have a clear sense of what they want — but they’re not sure how to get there, or something keeps getting in the way.
That’s where I come in. We’ll work together to:
Identify what’s getting in the way
Tap into your strengths (yes, you have them!)
Create an achievable, ADHD-friendly plan
And I’ll be right there beside you — helping you stay on track, troubleshoot when things go sideways, and celebrate every small win along the way.
Consider this...
What if you had someone who truly listens and understands ADHD? (I have it too)
Imagine leaving each coaching session with a clear plan to make meaningful, positive changes in your life?
What if you learned to treat yourself with more kindness and quieten that inner critic?
Where I’m Based — and Who I Work With
I’m based in Melbourne, Australia — but thanks to Zoom, all of my coaching sessions are online. That means I get to work with incredible adults across
Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. who are navigating life with ADHD and looking for practical, compassionate support.
Wherever you are, if you’re ready to feel more understood, more capable, and more in control — I’d love to support you.

"My life changed forever"
"Trudy doesn't just hear my words, she understands what I am really saying - even the little things I might not notice myself.

"If you are considering coaching with her just do it. Your life will be richer for it."
Trudy helped me understand ADHD and how it had impacted my well being. I contacted her wanting coaching to improve my organisation and life management skills. What I actually got was far more valuable. I instantly felt understood and connected with Trudy. Her energy, genuineness, knowledge, kind and thoughtful nature made it easy to trust and commit to coaching with her. Trudy guided me to a space of understanding myself, gave me the tools to challenge negative self talk and begin showing some self compassion. This opened my eyes up to the stories and beliefs I had about my self, the lack of self worth and shame I carried and how to shift this to begin living a life with self love. This change allowed me to accept my ADHD and embrace the challenges and gifts it brings.
Trudy is incredible! She really gets it and is so genuinely invested in her clients. If you are considering coaching with her just do it. Your life will be richer for it.

About Me - Trudy parkin
ADHD Life coach & Educator
As a coach, I support neurodivergent adults to create sustainable lives — both professionally and personally. Whether it’s navigating big goals, building better systems, or learning to work with (not against) your brain, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I work with adults who are ready to feel more focused, more intentional, and more in control — without burning out. Together, we build practical strategies that honour your strengths and support your energy.
My coaching style is down-to-earth and strengths-based. It’s shaped by both professional experience and my own lived journey as a late-diagnosed ADHDer — and by what I wish I’d had earlier in life.
If you’re ready to step into the life you’ve been trying to piece together alone, I’d love to support you.
