About Aaron Bentley

My story

From struggling to coaching

1. Primary school, 1990s

   An early diagnosis

   I was diagnosed with ADHD when very little was known about it, and I remember it being frightening. The medication I was given sedated me, and my mum took me off it because it took away my personality. After that, I had no support at school at all.

2. Teens and early twenties

   Struggling to keep up

   High school was hard, and work was harder. In my twenties I was assessed again and started medication that did help – but I still struggled for another ten years, moving from job to job and dealing with constant mental health challenges.

3. The turning point

   Deciding to change things

   One day I realised nobody was coming to fix things for me. So I took the generic advice that had never worked, stripped it back and rebuilt it from an ADHD point of view.

4. Two years of refining

   Systems that actually work

   I spent the next two years testing and refining those systems on my own life. That's when everything started to change.

5. Today

   Helping others do the same

   I've now coached more than 150 people and work with 30 clients every week. I bring the hardest and the best parts of my own ADHD to every session.
