ICF Accredited Associate Coach with 1,000+ hours of Coaching individuals and corporates. 5* reviews
Hey there, I'm Mel Sims
I was diagnosed in 2020 at 48, with ADHD through Right to Choose. I had always felt different but I was successful and popular, so how could I moan? I now also see Autistic traits in myself with sensory issues due to my ADHD being more accepted by myself. Funny when one gets quieter, the other gets louder. 70% of ADHDrs are AuDHD, the combination of the 2 – which is loud!
I had burnt out 4 times. Turns out it was overwhelm. First one was at 13 when I was bullied and then again crashed at University in Sheffield and Zaragoza. So young… if only I had known!! The shame of being in the messy closet, can make you think you are going mad.
I became a Media Buyer at London Ad.Agencies in my 20’s, directed an Agency group and large staff teams in my 30’s. I set up a successful under 5’s hospitality business as an entrepreneur with a baby in tow, in my 40’s and then Covid hit, so we had to close, 8 staff furloughed. I hated not working and soothed with vin blanc, so, very ADHD style, I solved that by throwing myself into developing a popular, low alcohol Gin.
Over Covid and with my new ADHD diagnosis and experience in Coaching my staff, I decided I wanted to be professionally qualified, to help adults and children with their emotional regulation, as well as those who were ‘different’.
I chose ICF as a professional body, which is the gold standard in International Coaching and finally I feel the most Authentic and Unmasked that I ever have.
