Kirsten Thorp

I coach adults with ADHD, many recently diagnosed and worn out from being told to try harder.

We start with how your attention, energy and motivation actually behave, and build from there. It's practical — you leave sessions with things you can use.

I came to coaching through law, career development and communications, and have been self-employed since 2012. I hold an LLB, a Diploma in Career Development and a Level 7 Microqualification in Coaching from the New Zealand Coaching and Mentoring Centre. I'm also co-author of Tuned In, written with psychiatrist Dr Tom Levien, on how music helps ADHD brains regulate attention, emotion and creativity.

Face-to-face in Nelson, or by telehealth.
