Finding Financial Confidence with ADHD, a client’s story
I am truly honoured to share this story from a client, P.W., who kindly gave permission to publish her words. Many people with ADHD carry shame and heavy self-judgement around money, which can make it hard to talk about. Simply reading this, and considering support, is a courageous first step.
P.W.’s experience, in her own words
“Working with Michael has been genuinely transformative.”
Understanding numbers and money never came naturally to me. Despite growing up in a family of accountants and mathematicians, I somehow only managed to accumulate a lot of confusion, avoidance, and shame around anything to do with numbers and money. I tried to emulate their systems, and when I couldn’t keep up or make them work for me, I felt like a failure.
When I was diagnosed with ADHD, I finally began to see that my struggles were simply to do with being wired differently. I knew if I wanted to be in control of my money and my future, I needed help from someone who not only understood money and numbers, but understood my ADHD brain too.
Working with Michael has been genuinely transformative. Over the course of a few months, he helped me develop strategies that actually work with my brain, not against it. These weren’t cookie-cutter solutions, but creative, unconventional approaches that finally made sense to me. I now have practical systems in place for my household spending, my children’s finances, my savings, and even investments — something I had never felt confident enough to do before.
What I appreciated most is that Michael didn’t give me answers — he helped me uncover my own. With patience, insight, and a real understanding of how ADHD affects me, he helped me develop many tools I use daily — not just around money, but in how I organise myself, how I approach tasks, and even how I maintain my physical and mental health.
The impact went far beyond money. I can’t recommend Michael highly enough. This work has been a game changer for me.
Why this matters
Stories like P.W.’s show that when support is ADHD-friendly and practical, confidence grows, decisions get simpler, and systems become sustainable. If you have struggled in the past, you are not alone, and change is possible.
