Mankey Mind is dedicated to helping people with ADHD feel seen, understood and genuinely supported.

It grew out of my own ADHD journey, shaped by mindfulness and the discovery of the Buddhist term Monkey Mind - a description of mental restlessness, an overwhelmed mind and thoughts that swing from branch to branch.

This captured my inner world so accurately that it became the inspiration for Mankey Mind. I’m on a mission to create a world where ADHD and neurodiverse minds feel understood, supported, and celebrated. I use coaching, compassion, and honest storytelling to help people and organisations reconnect with their strengths, build confidence, and ultimately to work with their ADHD. 

I spent more than twenty years navigating the workplace with undiagnosed ADHD, moving through startups, private equity, SMEs and FTSE organisations while constantly worrying about passing probation or making it to two years’ service. I often felt misunderstood and out of place. Over time, this took its toll - burnout, anxiety, depression and a constant sense of overwhelm. I also suspect that this lack of awareness on both sides contributed to several of the “redundancies” I experienced along the way. 

This lived experience is what drives my work today. Neurodivergent people often bring perspectives and ideas that help organisations see things differently. It’s been a lifelong, challenging path, one that eventually led me into national advocacy and my work as Chairman and now Trustee of ADHD UK, whose mission is to help those affected by ADHD. 

I've given talks on my ADHD journey and the power of having a workplace that embraces neurodiversity to the likes of NHS Digital, Guys and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, The Healthcare Peoples Management Association (HPMA), The Ministry of Defence, Deloitte, Highways England, Ordnance Survey, UK Civil Service, NatWest, Lloyds Banking Group and Capita.
