We map what is actually happening — ADHD traits, perimenopause, decades of masking and the cost of holding it all together. Language for it, at last.

ADHD coaching for women in their 40s who have always been the ones who cope
Coaching for women in their 40s who genuinely struggle with brainfog, exhaustion and overwhelm. We support ladies who are not sure whether it's ADHD, menopause or both.
The thoughts you don't say out loud
“Why can't I cope anymore?”
“I've always managed before.”
“Everyone else seems to be handling life better than me.”
“Have I lost my edge?”
“Is this menopause, burnout, ADHD — or all three?”
“Why does everything feel so difficult now?”
Nothing is wrong with you. You are a capable woman whose coping strategies were built for a different brain, a different decade and a different hormonal landscape.
In their words
What clients say
Before working with Fran, I struggled to organize my thoughts. Through our sessions, I discovered new ways to support myself, and Fran always listened genuinely, giving me the space I needed to process. Now, I truly understand how valuable coaching can be in all aspects of life. My biggest takeaway was learning that it's okay not to do everything perfectly, and to just take things one step at a time. Having her as a supportive guide by my side for months really helped me move toward my goals.
Before working with Francisca, I found prioritising organisation and planning, despite knowing what I 'should' be doing, challenging. The coaching sessions were supportive, practical and really tailored to how my ADHD brain works. I never felt judged or talked down to. Since working together, I've developed systems that actually work for me, to plan and stay organised. I feel more in control of my time, and I'm much kinder to myself when things don't go perfectly. I'd highly recommend Francisca to anyone with ADHD who wants bespoke support, not just advice.
As Fran's ADHD life coaching client, I've experienced firsthand how rare it is to find someone who can hold both deep compassion and meaningful challenge in the same space. Her soothing cadence and gentle humour create safety, while her ability to ground my scattered, multi-directional thought storms into actual vectors for insight and growth feels like having a translator for my own mind. She meets you exactly where you are, then helps you discover what's actually possible from there.
Privately
Reliable, competent, organised — and quietly running on empty.
- ◆Brain fog and forgetfulness
- ◆Overwhelm that arrives before the day starts
- ◆Exhaustion no amount of sleep touches
- ◆Emotional dysregulation you'd never show at work
- ◆Difficulty prioritising, starting, finishing
- ◆Anxiety and the feeling of always being behind
The work we do together
From coping to clarity
Redesign
Systems built for your brain rather than the one you've been imitating. Prioritisation, initiation, energy and boundaries that survive a real week.
Rebuild self-trust
Less self-blame, more evidence. You leave able to rely on yourself again — at work, at home, and with the family who depend on you.
Who I work with
Senior women carrying more than anyone sees
Directors, partners, consultants, clinicians, educators and founders. Often parenting a teenager who is also neurodivergent. Often supporting ageing parents at the same time. Holding a career, a household and everyone else's needs — with no one holding yours.
Coaching is the hour in your week that is entirely for you.
