Lorna Thomas - ADHD business coach and mentor for creatives

The Best ADHD business coach 

Hello!

 

I’m Lorna Thomas, and I’m an ADHD coach and mentor for creative business owners. I haven’t always been a business coach, though.

​

First I had to learn lessons the hard way – and this made me realise I wanted to help others avoid the same mistakes I’ve made. 
I used to be a successful garden designer, even winning awards at Hampton Court Flower Show two years running. But I ran at warp speed and maximum overdrive for seven years. It’s not sustainable. 


I burned out.

Running a creative business without the right support

As a garden designer, 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 a pivotal moment. I realised I wasn’t unique in being a business owner facing overwhelm. However, I know that if I had had 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. 

A qualified life and business coach using DISC and NLP

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. I often bring DISC profiling, which helps people understand personality types and how to deal with them, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques into my work too.


Most importantly I found that as much as I love garden design, coaching is my true passion. Now I help creative entrepreneurs avoid the traps I fell into - and build their businesses with strength and confidence.

“Lorna really does help me and my business to flourish. She is very accommodating of my idiosyncrasies and adapts accordingly. You can tell that Lorna doesn’t just do this for business - her interest, passion, commitment and enjoyment come across and it feels like she is invested in me.”

Working with neurodivergence in business

I love to help creative, neurodivergent business owners and entrepreneurs rethink their perspectives, priorities, and strategies. I support them in taking the right actions for building sustainable growth.

​

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

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

“Working with Lorna has been a transformative experience. Her coaching not only helped me gain confidence in my professional skills but also provided me with the tools to manage my time better and increase my productivity at work. She has a rare talent for blending strategic insights with genuine empathy.


Lorna created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings about work without fear of judgment. Her advice was always thoughtful and tailored to my specific challenges, consistently helping me see new views and perspectives.

 

Whether it was improving my workflow or navigating workplace dynamics. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone aiming to grow professionally while feeling truly supported throughout the process."
