My name is Melinda Lawler, and I’m an Integrated ADHD and Neurodivergent Coach. Diagnosed at a young age with Hyperactivity Disorder, I developed my own unique coping strategies to help navigate my way through our neuro-typical world. Like many ADHDers, my family members also share the condition, and we learnt collectively to recognise how our behaviour differed from what was considered the ‘norm.’

About Dr. Melinda Lawler

I was originally attracted to the world of media, initially training as an actress, and later becoming a radio presenter. I was, however, fascinated by neuropsychology, and after ten years in broadcasting, I retrained as a Therapeutic Coach.
Since 2009, I have worked for the NHS with the Professional Support and Wellbeing Service based in Oxford. Now, as a Senior Coach, I work with neurodivergent doctors, many of whom are undiagnosed. I help them to make sense of their internal world, finding tailor-made strategies that they can implement, both in their professional environment and their personal lives.
In my coaching practice, I cover the following key areas:

  • Acceptance and understanding of the ADHD/Neurodivergent brain.
  • Focusing on strengths and helping my clients to use their unique qualities to thrive.
  • Working with impulsivity and our brains’ reward system.
  • Navigating relationships with neurotypical partners, friends, and colleagues.
  • Exploring lifestyle factors including sleep, nutrition, and exercise which can affect ADHD/Neurodivergent symptoms.
  • Enhancing executive functioning skills including focus, planning, and decision-making.
  • Encouraging self-compassion and resilience.

I see clients in person from my home in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, or work with them virtually throughout the country and globally.
