Does your teen say:

“I know what to do… I just can’t start.”?

You’re not alone.

So many capable teens feel completely stuck when it comes to revision.
It’s rarely about laziness — it’s usually overwhelm and not knowing where to begin.

We’re running a 1-hour online Study Support Session to help teens:

✔ Create a clear revision starting plan
✔ Break work into manageable steps
✔ Use a simple SMART goal structure
✔ Feel more confident getting started

📅 10th March | 6pm (Zoom)
💷 £25 per student
👥 Small group – maximum 8 students

Led by PGCE-qualified, Certified ADHD Coaches Christina Topping & Juliet Most.

If this sounds like your teen, just send me a message and I’ll share the details.

“I know what to do… I just can’t start.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

For many teenagers — especially those with ADHD or dyslexia — revision isn’t about intelligence. It’s about overwhelm.

I’ve developed and delivered online group coaching sessions for 16-year-olds preparing for their GCSEs, using structured goal-setting (SMART framework) to break revision into clear, manageable steps.

One parent shared:

“Christina made them feel at ease right from the start. She gave them practical tools for GCSE revision and made it feel far less overwhelming by breaking it down into manageable chunks… They’ve already put the strategies into practice.”

That’s the difference:
From stuck → to starting.
From overwhelmed → to organised.
From anxious → to confident.

My next 6-week Practical Study Support for ADHD & Dyslexia Students group is opening soon.

If you’d like your teenager to feel more in control before exams, send me a message and I’ll share the details.

I love working with young people with ADHD 💛 supporting small friendship groups as they prepare for exams by coaching them through study techniques and strategies that actually work for their brains — exams don’t have to be this stressful. Book an appointment today.

✨ ADHD Awareness in Schools ✨

A thoughtful morning with staff at The Courtyard School, focusing on ADHD awareness — what it is, what it isn’t, and why understanding matters.

We explored ADHD through the lens of regulation and co-regulation, shared practical coaching strategies to support students, and held space for reflection around common assumptions and strengths.

Always proud to champion ADHD awareness in ways that are informed, compassionate, and grounded in everyday school life — not diagnosis or treatment, but understanding and support.

Thank you to The Courtyard School staff for such openness, curiosity, and engagement 💚

Shame hits differently for ADHD brains.

One hard moment → intense emotion → an outburst we didn’t mean → followed by the heavy “I know I was wrong” crash.

ADDitude Magazine calls this the ADHD shame spiral — the loop of replaying, overthinking, and feeling like a “bad person” instead of someone who had a hard moment.

It’s not an excuse for behaviour.
It’s an explanation for the feeling that comes after.

Here’s what helps break the spiral:
✨ Name what happened
✨ Ground the body first
✨ Repair if needed
✨ Remind yourself “a moment is not a character”
✨ Move forward with compassion, not punishment

ADHD emotions are fast, deep, and real — but shame doesn’t have to carry the last word.

Being “with” someone can change everything.
Whether I’m coaching teens, supporting clients in the gym, or sitting beside my kids during homework — we start easier and stay longer when we’re not doing it alone. 💛

That’s body doubling.
And this photo captures it perfectly — everyone doing their own thing, together.
