Description
Hi! My name is Helen May Day,
I have ADHD myself and use dozens of strategies everyday.
To the world it looks like I've succeeded - I have a family with 2 children, a mortgage, a bachelor degree, 17 years with the same employer and time to volunteer in the community. I have worked hard to prevent my social anxiety and ADHD challenges from getting in the way of the life I want. I can help you do the same.
Being the mother of 2 primary aged boys, one of which is diagnosed with ADHD, has given me a lot of 'on the ground training' in deep listening, flexibility and working with reality. There are no perfect families, there are always more challenges. I have the experience to help you meet each obstacle and find a solution that works for your family.
With over 17 years of teaching experience, I have taught in primary mainstream classes, learning support units and special needs schools. Knowing how the school system works and having had practise advocating for my own son, I know what you are dealing with from experience. You can count on me to 'get it'.

18/03/2024 at 1:38 pmHi Helen, I can’t thank you enough for your time with my daughter today. She said she felt a sense of relief and is looking forward to tackling her assignments with these new skills and ideas. This is the most positive she has been in a long time, and I’m truly grateful.

13/12/2024 at 8:59 pmCoach Helen has been instrumental in helping me sort out and evolve my career goals. I felt very frustrated, confused, and very uncertain of how to move forward. Helen helped me discern what really matters at this stage of my life, formulate the career lifestyle that works for me, and stay focused on what my next steps are.

13/12/2024 at 9:00 pmThe PQ course and guidance provided by Helen was a valuable support in the arsenal I have developed to help me negotiate challenges as they emerge. The combination of guided exercises and discussions was particularly interesting, and Helen was gentle and empathetic as we moved through the course material.

13/12/2024 at 9:04 pmHelen made me slow down, think about my responses and become aware of my own boundaries. The daily exercises were a good time out, even if only for 2 minutes a couple of times a day to refresh my mind.

13/12/2024 at 9:05 pmI experienced less conflict! The course helped me to pause, listen, take stock and not engage too much with my or the other person’s saboteurs.

Barb - Mother of Teen with ADHD and Autism
13/12/2024 at 9:06 pmHelen has a warmth about her that immediately makes you feel welcome and safe and that was important to me on the day I met her, having moments earlier experience a difficult situation with my daughter (who has ADHD and autism and who, along with my personal struggles with ADHD, is the reason I sought Helen’s help in the first place). It was easy to open up to her right from the get go and that is very rare for me.
As our sessions progressed I was impressed by how many tools she has in her belt that made the visits interesting and creative and original every time (but not in a scary way). I think I would’ve found this even without the use of the Positive Intelligence book and app (although it is definitely recommended too).
Coaching is not counselling. It’s more purposeful, and goals driven. Instead of throwing the flood gates open to fix everything you focus on a particular thing you want help with (in my case it was working on my relationship with my daughter). That makes coaching more approachable for a neurodivergent mind that does so much better when tasks are broken down into manageable chunks. Helen doesn’t just come at you with some one trick pony “this has worked for all my other clients so I’ll just keep doing it” style either. She is responsive and flexible and makes you part of this process and engages you with creative and truly immersive exercises that are in response to what you bring to the table that day.
I cannot recommend her ADHD coaching enough!
