  • Anne Sturgess (M.Ed - 1st Class, B.Ed., Dip Spec Ed.,Dip Tchg, Level C Assessor, Personal Growth/Executive Functioning Coach)  is an experienced leader, coach and professional facilitator with a long history of working with both children and adults.

    Anne has a wealth of ideas and strategies to share with clients; she does this in a way that shies away from the labeling, technical/medical language and terminology that is commonly used in relation to the area of neurodivergence and learning challenges - looking beyond these labels, she focuses on where each person is and works from there. 

  • I’ve seen and experienced first hand the incredible impact coaching can have on an individual’s quality life and on their ability to fulfil their potential. I believe that with the right support and questions we are all capable of harnessing our own innate ability to problem solve, overcome challenges and achieve our goals. 

    The combination of a late in life ADHD diagnosis, a young son with ADHD and an obsession with neuroscience propelled me to train as a Growth Coach. My passion is helping my clients find more equilibrium and control in day to day life. The most common topics I support clients with are:

    • Working towards and achieving goals, both personal and professional.

    • Parenting in the context of having ADHD and/or raising children with ADHD.

    • Achieving more balance, calm and control in day to day life.

    The coaching methodology I use, draws on the power of neuroscience, supporting clients to understand their unique wiring and come up with strategies and tools that are tailored specifically to them and the way they think.

    I am certified in Brain Based Coaching™ with the NeuroLeadership Institute and a registered member of the International Coaching Federation. Prior to being a coach I worked as business mentor and advisor, supporting business leaders to optimise their performance and lead their businesses to success.

    I am humbled to be alongside my clients as they embark on their growth journeys and guide them along this path with the utmost care and according to the International Coaching Federation’s ethical standards.
