Introductory Calls - The ADHD Advocate

Introducing Xanthe Hewitt, an inspiring ADHD coach at The ADHD Advocate, whose personal and professional journey deeply enriches our team. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Xanthe's transformation from discovery to empowerment captures the essence of what it means to live with ADHD. With a diverse background in child and family social work, youth offending services, and fostering, Xanthe brings a wealth of experience to her coaching practice. Her qualifications in counselling and social work, along with training in systemic practice and accredited coaching, provide a solid foundation for her empathetic and holistic approach to coaching. Xanthe is passionate about shifting the narrative around ADHD from one of challenges to one of hope and empowerment, without losing sight of the real difficulties it can present. She values the journey of coaching for anyone ready to engage, regardless of their background or experiences with ADHD. Xanthe’s approach is all about nurturing a more positive relationship with ADHD, for both individuals and families, and she is eager to be part of a community that inspires and fosters growth and understanding in the ADHD space.

I’m Yvonne, an ADDCA trained Adhd coach with a compassionate and caring approach, deeply influenced by my early studies in psychology, a long professional career in consumer behaviour, running a busy branding agency.  I’ve lived the thrills and spills of Adhd, personally and professionally, and as a specialist Adhd Life Coach I am passionate about working with fellow Adher’s  who are eager for a new perspective.

With greater self awareness, acceptance and a damn good tool box, doing you doesn’t have to be so hard.  Our coaching journey together is the step to start seeing yourself through a new lens and a world of new possibilities.

Marks initial focus is helping people who live with ADHD find jobs or help them with issues they are having within employment.  Mark works 4 days a week for South London and Maudsley Hospital as a Job Coach working closely with therapists to help people with mental health issues overcome their employment issues.  Mark has found great reward in working with employed and unemployed ADHD brains helping them navigate the challenges of ADHD in the work place together. 

It was not until later in life, when Mark was diagnosed with ADHD, that he realised his innovative and "outside-the-box" approach was actually ADHD-friendly ways of achieving desired results.

To be successful in finding employment, Mark believes in the importance of standing out from the crowd. This approach has enabled the individuals who have followed his process to achieve their goals. It is the key reason for Mark's successful career, helping hundreds of people from various backgrounds and at different stages of their careers achieve their set goals. “You get out, what you put in” 

His expertise does not just extend to ADHD job seekers but also extends to supporting individuals across various life stages and professions. Mark aims to provide a comprehensive support system that caters to the diverse needs of the ADHD community.
