Got ADHD? Join the club.

ADHD club is here to help you understand your brain so you can learn to live, work and thrive with ADHD.

Navigating life with ADHD can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be.

I’m Charlotte Forbes, an ADHD coach and creator, and I know first-hand how isolating it can be. That’s why I created ADHD club: an online and offline community for the creative industries where you can feel recognised, be yourself and celebrate neurodiversity.

ADHD coaching is a process to help you understand your brain better, so you can live and work with  ADHD and fulfil your potential (woohoo!).

I coach people in the creative industries on work, life and the messy middle in between. In our sessions you’ll get to know how your brain works,  learn practical strategies to help you thrive, and work on feeling less overwhelmed and more confident to be your best self.

As someone who has worked in advertising and media with ADHD for 10 years I specialise in working with people in the creative industries from ad agencies, media, marketers, designers, animators, copywriters, strategists, account managers, HR & talent team, recruiters, PR to, freelancers and content creators. 

Let’s face it there’s plenty of us in an industry fuelled by short attention spans and caffeine.

I understand the demands and dramas of the creative industry and believe with the right support ADHDers can thrive. 

Working in the creative industries is where we belong and thinking differently can be a huge advantage when you know how to work WITH your brain.

Please note I take clients which are fully funded via Access to Work.

Who I work with

My past and current clients have included agency, freelance and in house: creatives (art & copy), animators, designers, project managers, account managers & directors, recruiters, media planners, HR executives & talent operations team, social media managers and content creators and more.  

My clients love my understanding of ADHD and because I’ve been where you are (or at the desk next door) I speak your language. Working in agency land is FUN, and even more fun when you’re not constantly overwhelmed.

Introducing ADHD club’s coaching themes, the Four Cs:

Understanding your ADHD is *a journey* and during coaching we’ll navigate it together by working through four major themes: the Four Cs. 

Everyone has different areas of work/life they want to work on so before we start we’ll define your coaching goals and use the Four Cs to work out what’s happening, who you are, where you want to go and how to get there. 

Coaching is a tailored collaborative process and each week you’ll take small actions towards your goals.

  • Understanding YOUR ADHD and meeting yourself where you’re at

    • Uncovering how you self-sabotage: check yourself before you wreck yourself

    • Self-care jenga: you can’t get what you want unless you know what you need

    • Learning how you process information, how you think and work WITH your ADHD brain text goes here

    • Know your strengths so you can use your ADHD for good

    • If it ain’t broke… Reminding yourself what works

    • RSD: knowing your triggers and strategies for emotional regulation

    • Fighting confidence killers like comparison, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome

    • Working on executive function: motivation, impulsivity, memory, planning and organisation, emotional regulation at work or at home

    • Time awareness strategies so you can get more control of your time.

    • Working out what you can control and letting go of what you can’t

    • Using the interest-based attention system and your ADHD strengths to create bespoke strategies

    • Support: working out what help you need and how to ask for it.

    • Organisation: helping you learn how to get your sh*t together and follow through with actions.

    • Achievable goals: breaking goals into steps to help you make changes.

    • Re-writing your ADHD rulebook: creating a personal manual for your brain.

Sounds good? Here’s what my clients have to say…

  • Coaching with Charlotte has been life changing! I came to coaching during a transition in my life and with her incredible support and ADHD knowledge I made changes that have helped immensely. I recommend coaching to anyone navigating their neurodiversity.

    Creative animator

  • As a recently diagnosed adult I found it invaluable to work with Charlotte to understand how my brain works, get to know my ADHD self like a new friend and to help me see where I have been masking. Ultimately she helped me to accept myself for who I am.

    Senior Leader, Tech

  • The most helpful part of coaching was Talking through real life challenges sometimes in real time and feeling understood, guided and supported.

    Freelance Communications Trainer

  • Charlotte has massively helped me with tackling my triggers, and proactive tools I can use to stop me from getting overwhelmed. Before coaching I felt negative and like I'd never 'fix' myself, I've realised it's not about fixing my ADHD, but I can use it in so many ways within my role that others cannot.

    HR Executive, Advertising agency

  • I’d recommend coaching with Charlotte to anyone who is maybe late diagnosed and looking for was to improve things or cope better with “issues” they face with ADHD. They’ll will benefit from learning new skills, tools and understand themselves better.
