Empowering teens + young adults with ADHD to thrive in a neurotypical world

Hi, I’m Lana—and I get ADHD.

Not just because I’ve read all the books (I have), but because I’ve lived it.

But things are different now.

And it didn’t happen overnight. It came through trial, error, chaos, overwhelm—and a whole lot of “Why does my brain feel like a browser with 84 tabs open?!”

These days, it looks more like: I somehow trail mud across the carpet at 9am on a Monday… I try extremely hard not to have a meltdown whilst tears roll down my cheeks. But I still manage to show up for my day. Progress not perfection, eh?

MY STORY IN A NUTSHELL

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 21, while studying Psychology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. I’d made it to a top university (something a doctor once told me would be impossible for someone with ADHD—spoiler: it’s not).

But despite my academic strengths, I was barely staying afloat. I couldn’t keep up with the coursework. I couldn’t make it to seminars. I forgot basic things.

I needed help, but how do you get help, when you aren’t even sure what you need?

HOW SUPPORT CHANGES LIVES

After I was diagnosed and finally got the right support—coaching, new strategies, and real understanding—everything began to shift. My grades improved. My life improved. Slowly. Messily. But the change was real.

FINDING ADHD-FRIENDLY CAREERS

I went on to build a career in TV and film—roles that finally worked with rather than against my ADHD brain. Later, I trained as an ADHD coach with Leanne Maskell (founder of ADHD Works and author of ADHD: An A to Z). Now, I help young people and young adults understand how their brains work… and how to build lives that fit.

CREATING A LIFE THAT WORKS—THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION AND SCIENCE

Growing up with ADHD in a world that wasn’t built for you is rough. You’re not handed a manual. You’re handed a million mixed messages. And the process of figuring it all out? Usually messy, lonely, and full of late-night Googling with conflicting advice. Finding what works is an individual journey, but you don’t have to do it alone. I bring together lived experience and the latest scientific research to help young people discover strategies that actually work for them.

HELPING YOU HELP YOURSELF (AND YOUR YOUR YOUNG PEOPLE)

I’m not here to fix anyone. ADHDers don’t need fixing. The world needs people like us—it just doesn’t always understand us. I help young people (and their families) build confidence, clarity, and customised systems that actually work for their unique brains and home environments.

So whether you’re trying to survive school or University, a 20-something navigating what’s next, or a parent trying to find real support for your kid, I can help.

Every ADHD brain is different. Every life stage is different. But everyone deserves self-understanding, useful tools, and the up-to-date science they need to build a life that works.
