Hello, I’m Jemma… The ADHD Music Coach!

Shape your rhythm

Find your pace

Make what matters
‍ ‍

I coach neurodivergent creatives like you to:

  • rediscover your creativity

  • finally finish that project

  • build a sustainable creative life that works with your brain

Struggling to create and progress with ADHD?

You are not alone

Black and white portrait of a person wearing a buttoned-up coat and heart-shaped earrings, smiling at the camera, this is Jemma, The ADHD Music Coach.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You start tonnes of ideas… but rarely finish them

  • You've actually got finished creative work… but haven’t shared it

  • You know what to do… but just can’t make yourself do it

  • You want to learn a new skill but don’t know where to begin

  • You can finish things to a deadline but the overwhelm, stress and burnout take their toll and it makes you dread starting something new

  • You’re tired of feeling stuck and watching other people get stuff done

  • Coaching hasn’t worked before- maybe you asked for help… but it left you feeling worse

  • You are un/diagnosed neurodivergent and want support which takes into account your whole person without having to explain yourself

I help neurodivergent creatives realise their creative ambitions- it’s been a honour to support them as they:

  • Finish and share music

  • Understand how to set goals they can achieve

  • Make book ideas a reality

  • Find sustainable ways to promote themselves

  • Release music

  • Learn about themselves and their own measures of success

  • Write and build courses/digital products

  • Integrate their pre/post-diagnoses identities

  • Design sustainable practice rhythms

  • Launch their creative businesses

  • Make ongoing creativity a regular, sustainable part of life

  • Explore performing in ways which better suit their neurotype

  • Understand how to study with a neurodivergent lens

  • Become unapologetic for who they are and what they do

I am an ICF Accredited Coach, Mental Health First Aider and Neurodivergent Artist and Mentor with ADHD specific training; a background in Occupational Therapy and a Masters in Electronic Music Production.

My varied training and lived experience means I understand how debilitating living with undiagnosed neurodivergence can be but also how improved awareness of neurodivergent characteristics can be transformative.

I believe Neurodivergent people often have incredible personal insight and that coaching can be an empowering next step towards identifying and taking action.

I work with you to understand what you want to achieve, your challenges and areas of strength and your wider context. We work at your pace with goal setting and accountability pitched at the level you need.

If you’d like to explore working with me, get in touch or book a no obligation chemistry call. I work primarily online but if you’re Bristol (UK) based we can discuss options for meeting in person.

  • I found Jemma during a late night Google search while I was trying to figure out where to go to find support as a musician with a neurodivergent brain. I had been wanting to release music for years but couldn't quite get the job done. I was thrilled to find a coach who is not only neurodivergent herself but a musician too!

    VH - Coaching Client

  • I really appreciate the sensitivity to neurodivergent thinking and experiences and that's what I think sets Jemma apart from other coaches (I've had quite a few!). I couldn't have done it without her and I can't recommend her enough!

    Coaching Client

  • Jemma created a really supportive space where I felt able to express myself & gently encouraged me to make my own decisions which has been empowering. Coaching has provided accountability in helping me meet my goals. I like Jemma’s neurodivergent focused approach as she understands my difficulties & challenges better than most & I feel accepted.

    FK - Coaching Client

  • I feel that Jemma has helped me to feel a greater sense of self worth, and helped me to see that my value wasn’t only contained in what I could do but in who I am as a person. I’ve definitely grown a lot in confidence to make my own decisions & know that I am supported.

    MM - Coaching Client

  • My main goal was to release my first single and Jemma supported me every step of the way. I reached this goal and couldn't be more stoked with the result! The weekly check-ins helped me stay on track, the recording and editing knowledge she shared was invaluable, and the industry insights helped me confidently navigate tricky situations that previously would have sent me spiraling.

    Coaching Client

  • Her curiosity over judgment, sharing her own journey was helpful, and her willingness to help in flexible ways made it feel more human.

    Coaching Client

  • Jemma has helped me to have greater awareness and tolerance of neurodivergence of both others and myself
