Introducing Alice Nock
For all my life, I was told I was too loud, too sensitive, too emotional, too chatty, too intimidating, too trusting, too blunt, too reckless and the list goes on. I had a Law degree (LLB Hons), Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), three property companies and an Autism training business, alongside bringing up two boys and running a house, and yet I still felt like a failure, like my life was always in total chaos and like I was letting everyone down. At 43 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD.
I’ve spent the last two years receiving ADHD specific coaching and training and I can honestly say, it has changed my life! I now feel in control, organised, productive, happy and content. For the first time in my life, I have stopped searching for something I will never find and instead, find happiness in the here and now.
From a life long ambition to help other people, Motion in Mind was born. As a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I now coach individuals who are neurodivergent, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD and others (formally diagnosed and self-realised). I also deliver training to businesses on the benefits of hiring neurodivergent employees and how to best support these individuals at work - including how to write impactful policies and engage in those difficult but important conversations.

So far I have only had a few coaching sessions with Alice, but I am already feeling less overwhelmed than when I started. With Alice’s professional help, I am finding new strategies to work through my various ADHD issues in a safe
and confidential environment. I enjoy the sessions and Alice is incredibly supportive. Alice is a first class coach and gently works with me and enables me to find solutions and new
approaches that I didn’t think would be possible
or work for me. I would thoroughly recommend her if you are struggling with ADHD,

I have just completed my 5th session with Alice, and I am already feeling more organised, less overwhelmed and more in control. I have ADHD and Dyslexia and Alice has worked with me on being more assertive, learning to take time to process before I give a response, and not apologising for saying no. She has also helped me to write email templates and create a list of phrases to use. Alice has taught me that it is okay to ‘do ADHD on purpose’ and to work in a way that suits me and the way that my brain works. If you are looking for a coach, then Alice has made a big difference in a short amount of time.
