Meet Lorna Thomas

Flourish coach and mentor for creative business owners with ADHD

Hello!

I used to be a successful garden designer. I built a business with a portfolio of happy clients. I won awards at Hampton Court Flower Show for two years running. And I ran at warp speed and maximum overdrive for seven years.

Then, I burned out.

I’d spent too much time focussing on the wrong priorities. Instead of managing my business, I had let it take over my life, and what had started out as a passion had become a burden.

Closing my garden design business was tough, but it was also a pivotal moment. I realised that I wasn’t alone in being a business owner facing overwhelm, and that with the right kind of support and mentorship, things could have been very different for me. So, I set about learning how to be that support for others, so that I could help creative entrepreneurs to avoid the mistakes I made, and to build their businesses with strength and confidence.

I retrained as a life and business coach, and obtained my professional qualifications. I also began equipping myself with a range of the latest personal and business development tools and techniques. And I found that as much as I love garden design, coaching is my true passion, and has been my business ever since.

“Within the creative industries neurodiversity is frequently a secret ingredient.”
Creative Network South (2020)

I now help creative business owners – particularly those who are neurodivergent – to rethink their perspectives, priorities and strategies, and support them in taking the right actions for building sustainable growth.

Although I’m neurotypical, my extensive experience in working with ADHD clients helps me to provide a ‘safe space’ and non-judgmental understanding that they appreciate.
