12 ADHD Journey with Michelle Shadvia - Psychologist and ADHD Coach

12 ADHD Journey with Michelle Shadvia - Psychologist and ADHD Coach

When Michelle spoke to a medical professional at age 27 to talk about suspected dyspraxia, she was told she couldn’t possibly have it as she had a masters in coaching psychology!

Michelle has since been diagnosed with dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD, and as a psychologist runs her own business ‘Find your Spark’ to raise awareness around ADHD through running sessions for the public and other organisations, as well as offering coaching for both adults and young people.

Michelle found that signposting to services was lacking and has discovered her life purpose through her coaching practice.

In this episode we dive into:

  • How dyspraxia and dyscalculia have shown up for Michelle
  • Working with our neurodivergences
  • How the lack of awareness around ADHD in schools still needs improvements
  • How there is still a huge gap between what we we’re told ADHD is versus what ADHD actually is
  • Why we shouldn’t be ashamed of our ADHD or neurodivergences
  • Why there is a high proportion of people in prison with undiagnosed ADHD
  • How amazing ADHD is!

If you’re in the Colchester area Michelle is running an ADHD awareness course on 24th June or check the website to see when the next groups are running: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/adhd-awareness-group-tickets-916105445047
