Coaching for Women in Perimenopause, Menopause & Post Menopause
I work with women navigating ADHD symptoms and hormones to help make sense of what's happening and find practical ways forward. Together, we'll explore how hormonal changes affect our executive functions and we will uncover strategies for managing overwhelm, improving organisation, regulating emotions, reducing burnout, and reconnecting with the person beneath all of the responsibilities.
This is about understanding your brain, working with your changing hormones, and creating a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and aligned with who you are today.
Common experiences may include:
Brain fog and forgetfulness
Increased overwhelm
Emotional ups and downs
Poor sleep or fatigue
Increased anxiety
Loss of confidence
Feeling more scattered or disorganised
Burnout or exhaustion
Feeling like your old coping strategies no longer work
Masking
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

A Hot Mess: ADHD and menopause support for women
I’m one of the co-founders of A HOT MESS, created for women navigating the perfect storm of ADHD and midlife (the hormones, brain fog, overwhelm and everything in between)
What started as a passion project has grown into a supportive community of women wanting to better understand what’s happening to their brains and bodies during perimenopause, menopause & post menopause.
Our workshops bring together research, practical strategies and lived experience in a warm, relatable and supportive space. It is an opportunity to learn, connect, laugh and realise you’re definitely not alone in the chaos.
"The workshop was informative and incredibly supportive. Jac and Fi provided a very safe space to educate, support, and share. It is literally the first time in my life I have felt heard, understood, and listened to."
— R, workshop participant

Hear Fiona on the podcast
Fiona joined No Such Thing As Normal to talk through ADHD and perimenopause, the perfect storm, and how to work with it.
Come along to a workshop
We run regular sessions on ADHD and menopause. A chance to learn more and connect with others going through similar experiences.
“I had been in burnout again for around 7–8 months. After exhausting countless other options, I felt like I had nothing to lose by trying an ADHD coach. I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism around 1.5 years ago, and so far I have had five coaching appointments with Fiona, one per week.
Of all the avenues I have tried, this has been by far the most helpful. I realised that I need support, accountability, and someone who genuinely understands and hears the struggles I face. Fiona’s skill set, knowledge, and ability to understand and communicate with neurodivergent people have been a huge part of why this has been so effective for me. She knows how to ask the right questions and help me gain my own insights, rather than simply telling me what I should do.
I experienced an almost immediate improvement. Before starting coaching, I was regularly finding myself physically unable to move from the couch for 3–4 days at a time. The coaching has also led to my own epiphanies and choices throughout each week—small changes that add value to my life and support the things I actually want for myself.
Fiona is incredibly easy to talk to and comforting to be around. I am so grateful for the support, accountability, and understanding I have received. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone who is struggling to function, or wanting to better understand and manage their ADHD, autism, or burnout.”

Yes. Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in sleep, mood, memory and concentration. If you have ADHD, it may feel as though the strategies that used to work are no longer enough. Coaching gives us space to make sense of what’s happening, adjust your routines and find practical ways to support yourself through this stage of life. Coaching can sit alongside medical care; if you’d like advice about symptoms or treatment, your healthcare professional is the right person to speak with.
