About Jay

Hi, I'm Jay

I specialise in coaching adults with ADHD and their partners, helping you navigate executive function challenges and build the skills you need to thrive.

Whether you're an adult with ADHD or the partner of someone with ADHD, I offer practical, forward-looking coaching with strategies that help you manage everyday challenges - building skills, fostering understanding, and creating plans to improve yourself and your relationship.
Jay Macleod Coach

My Background

My path to ADHD coaching combines over 25 years of therapeutic care, teaching, and mentoring experience. I've worked as a clinical hypnotherapist, NHS Operating Department Practitioner, and university lecturer; always gravitating toward helping people overcome challenges and unlock their potential.

When a close family member received a late ADHD diagnosis, I witnessed firsthand how long people can struggle without the right support. This inspired me to focus my diverse professional background on ADHD and executive function coaching.

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring, have completed further Executive Function Coach Training, and am a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

How I Work

My coaching focuses on practical skill-building in the executive function areas where you need support most.

Together, we'll:
•    Clarify the challenges you're facing
•    Create and experiment with new strategies
•    Embed sustainable habits
•    Equip you to move forward independently

My goal is simple: help you build the skills and confidence to manage life without ongoing coaching. You'll leave with practical tools you can use for years to come. And if you need a refresh or want to tackle new challenges down the road, I'm always here.

Author

I'm also the author of Loving ADHD: A Partner's Guide to Self-Care, Understanding and Communication. This is a book written especially for partners who may be feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or exhausted.

Available on IngramSpark in paperback or on Amazon in paperback and e-book.
