ADHD diagnosis?

Self-diagnosed or suspect you have ADHD?

Struggling to adapt to life with ADHD?

Together we can make sense of it.

Living with ADHD is a gift to yourself and the world

But a gift you can’t control can feel like the opposite of a gift. It can feel like a burden.

ADHD can be challenging, lonely and demoralising. But it can also be all those amazing parts of you that you and others value so much. It is essential to recognise the aspects that are benefitting you and those which are holding you back.

I work with clients who have officially diagnosed ADHD and suspected ADHD to help them make sense of their world and how they can fit into it and thrive.

ADHD certified professional coach, MSc in Psychotherapy and many years of coaching people with ADHD and AuDHD.

Not just surviving but thriving with ADHD

People with ADHD can be amazing problem solvers, hugely able to pivot and tackle issues from alternative angles, flexible, adaptive and creative.

But ADHD can also lead to issues with focus, procrastination, goal setting and achievement, and overwhelm in the moment. This can create a real sense of frustration.

You have all this potential - ideas flow easily - you have periods of intense hyperfocus - you set yourself clear intentions …

But at other times you lose track of these goals, you forget your wider aims and you may find yourself lost down rabbit holes and sidetracked from what you wanted to be doing.

Often the difference between ADHD gifts and ADHD symptoms is circumstantial, and so what feels like a bonus in some environments is problematic in others. Together we will work to integrate all your aspects of ADHD, explore the elements that are valuable to you and work on the areas you would like to change.

“Eleanor has been invaluable by my side as I explore and navigate all the sides of my AuDHD brain. I no longer see my neurodiversity as a burden, but am embracing all the many gifts, strengths and quirks I have as a beautifully unique individual!

Life can be challenging, and Eleanor has been amazing support with her kind, positive and no-nonsense coaching, thank you for doing what you do!”

Comprehensive and confidential ADHD screening and informal diagnosis

Robust and reliable testing

So many people are on waiting lists to discover if they have ADHD and sometimes this can extend to years! While you wait for an official diagnosis, I am able to test for ADHD using two of the world’s most robust ADHD evaluation tests:

  • CAARS 2 Adult ADHD Rating Scales - a worldwide gold standard ADHD test

  • ASRS - designed by the World Health Organisation and used by health services around the world

By using these tests, I can provide an informal ADHD diagnosis which will give you the answers you need while you wait for a formal diagnosis.

Many people want answers more than they need a formal diagnosis or need personalised information while they wait for a diagnosis, and some people don’t wish to have a formal diagnosis. Whichever you are, this service is a perfect fit.

Full report with detailed analysis

As part of the evaluation, you will receive a full test report with your scores for all five areas of ADHD. This breakdown of scores is essential information to help you to recognise the key areas you may need support in, and also to give you the confidence and reassurance that comes with knowing how your brain works and why.

The five tested areas are:

  1. Attention / Executive Functioning

  2. Hyperactivity

  3. Impulsivity

  4. Emotional Dysregulation

  5. Negative self-concept

You will be tested against the average for each area and then will receive full analysis of what your scores mean for you.

Testing options to suit you

With each test, you can choose one of two options.

You can either:

£75 - Complete the test and receive written feedback on your results to help you understand what your scores say about you and how your brain works on a day to day level.

£150 - Complete the test and have a one hour session on Zoom to talk through the results and to discuss strategies to support you in each area that you can take and apply to your life straight away.

Free - All my clients are automatically offered a free ADHD screening as part of my coaching service. Tests are offered freely for anyone signing up to my Weekly Sessions or Four Up Front package, found here: https://paperbell.me/eleanor-marker

I am also now offering ADHD testing for children and teenagers using the renowned Connors 4 for children aged 6 - 18.

This is an invaluable tool to understand your child’s preferred ways of working and to empower you both to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of their unique ADHD mind. The more you and your child understand what they find challenging and find out ways to work with these preferences, the sooner you can both learn to operate with compassion and empowerment, working with their brain rather than against it.

So often family conflict arises from misunderstanding and a lack of information available. The saying ‘knowledge is power’ has never been more true than when understanding how your child’s brain works and allowing you both to unite together to get the very best from it.

“You do not need to be fixed because you are not a broken version of normal.”

— Jessica McCabe “How to ADHD”

“Eleanor is the biggest gift of my life in 2024. I am so grateful I found her because she has been the most empowering, empathetic, sobering, motivating, solution-oriented, positive, compassionate, wise life coach for me. She always somehow strikes just the right balance of intervention and trust. As someone with ADHD who finds working on multiple simultaneous things very challenging, I’m honestly constantly amazed at how she’s able to keep such close tabs on me given how many other clients she has. I’ve never felt more seen, understood, supported, safe, and comfortable within a therapy/life-coaching context.

I am so very grateful for Eleanor and I highly recommend her life coaching / counseling services, especially if you have ADHD or another kind of neurodivergence. I have been one of the very lucky people to reap the benefits of her dedication to staying at the top of her field and helping people to the best of her ability. Again, I wholeheartedly and genuinely recommend her.”
