About Siobhain:

Hello, I’m Siobhain Murphy, a passionate advocate and coach for neurodiversity and mental health. My commitment to empowering individuals and families who live with ADHD and Autism, forged through years of dedicated effort and advocacy.

With a background in retail and administration, I dedicated 15 years to providing essential support to families. As the chairperson of a prominent group dedicated to aiding families navigating neurodivergent challenges, I played a significant role in fostering resilience and understanding within our community.

However, it was my transition into life coaching that ignited my passion. Witnessing first-hand the profound impact of neurodivergent conditions on my clients, I became deeply committed to advocating for acceptance and support. My journey led me to acquire a diverse range of qualifications, tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients, from anger management to understanding substance misuse.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been a co-founder and director of a respected mental health charity, collaborating with a dedicated team to lead initiatives aimed at promoting neurodiversity awareness and inclusion. Every day, I am driven by the belief that every individual, regardless of their neurodivergence, deserves unwavering support and recognition.

Drawing from my personal experiences of living with ADHD and Autism, I bring a unique perspective and empathy to my client work. I firmly believe that with the right support, we can find fulfilment and unlock our true potential.

I operate from a pluralistic approach, tailoring methods and techniques collaboratively to suit individual needs. To me, sessions aren’t just about providing a space to exchange words; they create opportunities for change.

My commitment to accessibility extends to offering free discovery calls via video or phone, ensuring that the journey towards managing ADHD symptoms and enhancing daily life begins with trust and understanding. This allows you to decide if I am the right coach for you, while giving me more insight into what you would like coaching for.

I operate a sliding scale of £50 – £120 per hour. I recognise that some are facing financial constraints and offer concessions for students and those who are struggling financially. This is worked out on a client-by-client basis.

I work on a session-by-session basis where you, the client, decides. I do recommend that for the first 6 weeks, sessions happen on a weekly basis.

At present, sessions are usually in the evening and at the weekend. There is very limited availability for appointments during working hours.

In a world where stigma and misunderstanding often overshadow the journey of neurodivergent individuals, I offer support, validation, and empowerment. Working together, we’ll identify your strengths, find solutions and workarounds for your challenges, and strive to make life a little easier.
