Ellie Kay
The Key 2 ADHD
ADHD/AuDHD CPD Certified Coach Neurodiversity Trainer | Consultant | Mediator
Who am I and what's my life's mission?
I'm Ellie Kay a late-diagnosed ADHDer and a CPD accredited (soon to be ICF accredited) ADHD coach. After a successful career running various businesses in the corporate world, primarily within recruitment, I made the decision to retrain and dedicate the rest of my career to something that truly makes a difference.
My mission is twofold:
1. Supporting ADHD/AuDHDers through coaching.
To break the stigma surrounding neurodiversity and support fellow ADHDers and AuDHDers in embracing their brilliant, unique brains. Through coaching, I help clients uncover their strengths, build self acceptance, and develop practical strategies to manage the chaos that can come with neurodivergence.
2. Educating and advising organisations on neurodiversity.
Helping businesses to understand, embrace, and harness the power of neurodivergent talent. I provide training, workshops, talks, and mediation services - creating more inclusive workplaces that work for everyone, and supporting both neurodivergent individuals and their employers in building mutual understanding and success.
We don't need to change
We are and have never been - useless, broken, too little or too much, we are just us. Lets find your unique strengths and embrace them. You have so many wonderful qualities.
We shouldn't feel shame
We may have made mistakes, through acting impulsively, taking risks and saying the wrong thing but we shouldn't feel any shame as we didn't know. And yes we struggle to regulate our emotions but the qualities we have outweigh the negatives .
Together we've got this
Acceptance comes first

ADHD/
AuDHD Coaching
ADHD 1:1 and group coaching offers a safe, understanding space to explore the parts of executive functioning that ADHDers find tricky. We'll work together to uncover your strengths, find what works for you, and build simple, realistic steps to help you move forward with confidence and clarity. You're not on your own, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Neurodiversity in the work place
It’s well established that diverse workplaces are happier, more productive, and more innovative. I deliver talks, interactive workshops, and management training focused on neurodiversity (particularly ADHD) in the workplace. The goal is to reduce stigma, improve understanding, and help create an environment where everyone can play to their strengths and receive support where it's needed.
Consultation & Mediation
Many workplace challenges can be avoided with early support from a neurodivergent specialist coach and mediator. Clear, informed communication helps resolve issues before they escalate. If situations become more complex, I offer mediation and advice with a balanced view, drawing on lived experience - as a ADHD business owner - to support both employees and employers effectively.
Testimonials
Ellie's ADHD Coaching methods have been a game-changer for me compared to traditional coaching/management, which never took neurodivergence into account. She's non-judgemental, thinks outside the box, and holds me accountable while understand that my brain might mean I forget or leave things last minute.
-Laura Rylah
Ellie helped me by giving me the tools to use to use my ADHD traits as strengths rather than weaknesses and helped me put processes in place to help me be more effective in the workplace. I would recommend Ellie to anyone who is feeling held back by ADHD. Her personal, friendly approach, backed up with vast knowledge and experience around the subject makes her an exellent mentor and coach.
