ADHD Coaching · UK · Gemma Pezzack

Life is not meant
to be lived in hard mode.

This isn't failure — it's a system mismatch.

ADHD coaching for late-diagnosed adults, working in demanding careers, who are exhausted from trying harder when the real answer may lie in working differently.

About Gemma Pezzack

There is nothing wrong with you.

Gemma Pezzack — founder of Beyond Linear ADHD Coaching, at Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness

I'm Gemma Pezzack, founder of Beyond Linear. For most of my life I carried the tension of feeling both too much and not enough — performing strongly, appearing capable, while privately managing exhaustion, emotional intensity, and a mind that never slowed down.

I received my ADHD diagnosis at 40. That moment didn't fix anything. It reframed everything.

"What if the voice inside your head didn't have to be a critic? What if it could become a coach — even a champion?"

I know what it is to be the go-to problem solver at work and come home too depleted to function. That tension is at the heart of what I do with clients.

Individual Coaching

One-to-one coaching

One-to-one ADHD coaching for late-diagnosed adults, working in demanding careers. Built around you — how your neurotype shows up, what you are navigating, and where you want to get to.

ADHD coaching and therapy are different things — and for many people, complementary rather than alternatives. Coaching does not diagnose, treat, or work with trauma. It works with where you are now and where you want to get to — practically, collaboratively, and without judgement.

Sessions are 60 minutes, held online or face to face within the South East Wales area, and structured around your goals. The pace, focus, and depth are shaped by what you need — not a fixed curriculum.

Thought Pieces

Thinking out loud

On ADHD, identity, work, and what it means to build a life that works with your brain rather than against it.

The Brag Bag: building your evidence bank

ADHD minds often remember pressure more easily than progress. The Brag Bag is a tool for keeping evidence of who you are when self-doubt gets loud.

Let's explore this together

If anything on this site has felt familiar — if you've recognised yourself in the contradictions, the exhaustion, the gap between who you are at your best and what it costs to get there — then a conversation costs nothing.

Use the form to introduce yourself and tell me a little about where you are. I'll be in touch within a few working days.

There is no pressure, no pitch, and no obligation. Just a conversation.
