Hi, I am Anna, a coach, mentor, and psychologist (GMBPs).

I coach people with ADHD to maximise happiness, confidence and performance.

My coaching journey began from a desire to support individuals who felt unseen and unheard, facing executive challenges similar to my own.

I am well known for my unique ability to transform lives through holistic and neuroscience-based coaching specifically designed for neurodiverse people. My empowering and strengths based approach leverages proven models of change and is culturally responsive for a far-reaching impact on all areas of life.

I started 20 years ago in my hometown, Athens, Greece, with one student, and then I moved to London, where my coaching hours exceeded 10.000 and where I worked with more than 1000 students in more than 10 countries to date.

In 2024, I was recognised as the Most Supportive ADHD and Executive Function Coach by the Business Elite Awards. In 2023, I was awarded as the Best Diversity, Inclusion and Leadership Development Training by Business Awards UK and in 2021, I was selected at the 500 Global Brainz awards as one of the top leaders recognised for their success, achievements and dedication to helping others.

I am currently writing a book on how to manage ADHD, where I go through how you can unlock confidence and inner resources, organisation and productivity and tap into a flow state for high performance.

My aim is to impact neuro distinct people in every continent so that they can go ahead and lead happier and more fulfilling lives with more mindfulness, confidence, and intention. And as a result of this work, I want to see a world with reduced inequalities, good mental health and world-class coaching for everyone, irrespective of geographical location, cultural background or diagnosis.

Coaching style: insightfully direct, deeply empathetic, powerfully empowering

Hobbies/interests: Japanese jiu jitsu, Tango Argentino and Latin dance, travelling.
