ADHD, Autism and Menopause Coaching Across Every Stage Of Life
LifeSpan Coaching offers specialist ADHD, Autism and Menopause coaching for children and young people, adults, families, and workplaces across the UK, through both one-to-one and group support. Founded by Terrie Smith, who is a mental health nurse, independent prescriber and neurodevelopmental specialist. LifeSpan Coaching combines clinical expertise with compassionate, personalised coaching to help individuals better understand themselves, navigate daily challenges, and build strategies that support lasting confidence, clarity, and wellbeing.
Support That Fits You
ADHD and Autism present differently for every individual and at every stage of life. For some, this may feel like overwhelm, emotional fatigue, difficulties with focus, or the constant pressure of trying to keep up. For others, it may be the experience of feeling misunderstood at school, in the workplace, within relationships, or at home.
At LifeSpan Coaching, support is carefully tailored to the individual. Combining clinical insight with compassionate coaching, we help you develop practical strategies and a deeper understanding of how you think, process, and function — creating approaches that feel sustainable, empowering, and genuinely aligned with you.
Practical, Compassionate Guidance
Drawing on extensive experience in mental health, ADHD, Autism, and specialist coaching, Terrie Smith provides clinically informed support within a calm, compassionate, and professional space. Sessions are carefully tailored to help individuals strengthen emotional resilience, build confidence, develop supportive routines, and gain a deeper understanding of how they think, process, and experience the world. Whether you are newly diagnosed, exploring ADHD or Autism, navigating perimenopause or menopause alongside neurodivergence, or seeking additional support alongside medication, coaching offers a thoughtful and supportive space to regain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and move forward in a way that feels sustainable, empowering, and aligned with you.
Strengths-Led ADHD & Autism Support
ADHD & Autism often brings creativity, deep thinking, curiosity, emotional insight, resilience, and the ability to see connections and possibilities that others may overlook. However, these strengths can become hidden beneath chronic overwhelm, masking, burnout, low self-esteem, or years of feeling misunderstood within education, workplaces, relationships, or everyday life. A strengths-led coaching approach recognises that neurodivergence is not simply a collection of difficulties to be managed. Instead, support focuses on helping individuals better understand their nervous system, patterns, needs, and natural ways of thinking — while developing practical strategies that feel realistic, sustainable, and supportive of long-term well-being. The aim is not to change who you are, but to help you work with yourself more compassionately and effectively, building greater confidence, clarity, emotional resilience, and self-trust over time.

Online ADHD, Autism & Menopause Coaching Across The UK
Online sessions and support groups provide flexible, accessible support for children, adults, parents, professionals, and families throughout the UK — allowing coaching and community support to fit more comfortably around everyday life, work, education, and personal commitments. Support is offered within a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where individuals are encouraged to feel understood, listened to, and supported as they are. Alongside one-to-one coaching, support groups offer a valuable opportunity to connect with others who may share similar experiences, helping to reduce feelings of isolation while building understanding, confidence, and shared support.
The focus is not on changing who you are, but on helping you better understand yourself, reduce overwhelm, and develop approaches that feel more sustainable and aligned with the way you naturally function.
Whether you are exploring ADHD or Autism for the first time, navigating a recent diagnosis, supporting a neurodivergent family member, or seeking specialist guidance alongside medication or therapeutic support, support is thoughtfully tailored to your individual experiences and needs.
