Your mind. Your way.


Louisa Butt, AACC
Louisa Butt, AACC

I’m Louisa Butt, an ADHD Coach and Consultant trained through ADDCA, working with adults who want to understand their ADHD, unlearn shame, and build a life that works for their brain — not against it.

My coaching supports clients to clear mental noise, reconnect with their identity beneath masking, and move forward with clarity and self-trust. I take a client-led, non-directive, strengths-based approach that centres lived experience, emotional safety, and real-life application.

As a British Pakistani Muslim woman with late-diagnosed ADHD, I bring an intersectional and culturally informed lens to my work. I understand how ADHD intersects with identity, culture, faith, gender, and systemic expectations — and why these layers matter in the coaching space.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based ADHD coaching, nervous-system awareness, and deep respect for the whole person. This is coaching that goes beyond productivity and performance, supporting clients to understand how they function, make aligned decisions, and build sustainable change in their own way.

Client Testimonial

"Louisa's coaching changed my life. I've worked with various therapists, counsellors, and coaches over the years, and Louisa's deep empathy and understanding of my experience as a woman of color with ADHD makes a huge difference. She just gets it."


My coaching practice is rooted in the belief that people with ADHD do not need fixing — they need understanding, permission, and space to work with their minds rather than constantly fighting them.

I work with adults navigating ADHD-related challenges such as overwhelm, burnout, masking, identity confusion, emotional regulation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and difficulty sustaining change. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected, exhausted, or stuck beneath the surface.


My Coaching Approach

Client-Led & Non-Directive
Sessions are shaped by what feels most relevant and alive for you. I use powerful, reflective questioning to support insight and self-directed change rather than giving advice or rigid frameworks.

Strengths-Based ADHD Coaching
We identify patterns, natural strengths, and internal resources, and translate them into practical, sustainable ways of living and working.

Emotionally Attuned & Nervous-System Aware
ADHD does not exist separately from emotion. I work with both cognitive and emotional experiences, offering support that is compassionate, steady, and non-judgemental.

Real-Life Practical Integration
Insight is only useful if it lands. Sessions focus on shifts that feel meaningful and usable in everyday life, not abstract ideas that fade once the session ends.


What Sets My Practice Apart

Lived Experience of ADHD
I understand ADHD from the inside — including late diagnosis, misdiagnosis, masking, burnout, and cultural pressure.

Intersectional & Culturally Informed Lens
I bring particular sensitivity to clients whose ADHD is shaped by culture, faith, family systems, or marginalised identities.

Professionally Trained with ADDCA
My work is grounded in rigorous, evidence-based ADHD coaching standards, ethical practice, and ongoing professional development.

Identity-Informed Coaching
I coach the whole person, not just symptoms or goals. Clients don’t need to explain or justify who they are.

Global Client Experience
I work with clients across different cultural and professional contexts, allowing me to hold nuance while staying deeply client-centred.


Additional Support & Accessibility

Clients can opt to receive session recordings, transcripts, and personalised reflection tools to support integration between sessions. I accept UK Access to Work funded clients and can guide clients through the process if needed.

Alongside individual coaching, I also offer ADHD consultancy, speaking, and workshops for organisations, community spaces, and media platforms — focusing on neurodiversity through a lens of identity, culture, and lived experience.

If you’re looking for ADHD coaching that is thoughtful, validating, and grounded in real life — not pressure or performance — this work may be a good fit.
