About
Lynda Steadman
ADHD Coach
My journey into coaching began long before I ever trained as a coach. For over 10 years, I’ve worked closely with neurodiversity, supporting individuals to better understand themselves, build confidence, and thrive in ways that feel authentic to them.
My background is rooted in both leadership and psychology. I spent seven years as an Operations Manager for a charity before completing a degree in Psychology and Special Educational Needs. Adding in a Diploma in Counselling and Mental Health First Aid has given me a unique skill set to work with a wide variety of neuro diverse challenges. This combination of strategic thinking and deep compassion has shaped the way I work — practical, understanding, and always person-centred.
I have extensive experience supporting children and families with ADHD and autism, working holistically with a trauma informed approach to understand each individuals needs. My work includes close collaboration with families, schools, and multidisciplinary professionals, as well as contributing to the development and implementation of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Supporting young people to recognise their strengths, develop emotional regulation, and feel safe to be themselves has been at the heart of my work, and it continues to inspire everything I do.
Working with children who are subject to Child in Need and Child Protection plans, where an understanding of trauma, regulation, and safety is essential has extended skills of signposting and working with police and social care. This experience has strengthened my ability to support children and families through complex and emotionally challenging situations, with a focus on stability, trust, and compassionate practice.
My training in Neuroscience Coaching has further enhanced my work, enabling me to apply a neuro-informed approach to regulation, safety planning, and emotional support. This allows me to bring clarity, structure, and reassurance to highly challenging situations, supporting both children and the adults around them to feel safer, more understood, and better equipped to move forward.
At 40, I was diagnosed with ADHD myself — a moment that brought clarity, understanding, and self-compassion. Through this experience, I’ve developed effective strategies that allow me to work with my brain rather than against it, building a successful and fulfilling career. This lived experience means I truly understand the challenges, frustrations, and strengths that come with being neurodivergent.
As a coach, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore who you are, what you need, and how to move forward in a way that feels achievable and empowering. I believe neurodiversity is not something to be “fixed,” but something to be understood, supported, and celebrated.
