ADD / ADHD Coach - Andrew Lewis
ADHD Coach
Hello, I am Andrew Lewis, Director of Simplywellbeing, an ADHD Coach. I coach Adults with ADD in-person in West London and by phone. I would like to help you Understand, Accept and Embrace your ADD and to Improve your Wellbeing.
What you have done or not done in your life is significantly less important than what you have learned from those experiences in order to improve your life today. I do not see ADD as a disorder or illness, it simply means you have a unique brain wiring and different neurological traits. As a coach with ADHD and who is specially trained in working with people with ADD, I understand that different strategies may be required to create action and change.
My commitment
”I want my clients to enjoy their coaching sessions and believe that only happens in a safe and unconditionally constructive atmosphere. I will strive for our sessions to be interesting, challenging, fun and never boring. I will honestly tell you what I observe in our sessions. I will seek agreement to changes in behaviours to move forwards to progress. I will give straight compassionate advice and champion your strengths and successes”.

Training and Qualifications
I trained as a specialist ADD Adult Coach, with the ADD Coaching Academy, New York. The ADD Coaching Academy is the largest and best trainer of ADD Coaches Worldwide, with hundreds of graduated ADD Coaches helping thousands of ADD Adults and Children today. Previously I worked in IT for over twenty years, as a programmer, in marketing, sales and management. I set-up, managed and owned a number of successful start-up IT businesses, but ADHD issues with focus, organisation and planning were ever present. I finally made a difficult, important and ultimately very rewarding decision - to align my life with my personality, to use my ADD traits of passion, creativity and my hard-learnt knowledge to help others.
As a good ADDer, I tend to see the big picture! So I am also a Certified NLP and Hypnotherapy Practitioner (Neuro Linguistic Programming) with undergraduate and lay training in Psychology, in particular Positive Psychology, the study of Happiness. I have also extensively studied Meditation, Nutrition, Health and Neuroscience. I work with an expert team in our Workshops and for referrals. These include a Psychotherapist/Health Specialist, a Nutrition Specialist, an ADHD Psychiatrist, a Meditation Coach and an Addiction Counsellor/Psychotherapist. If we need expert guidance in any of these other areas, it is easily available.
My ADD life
I was late, self-diagnosed ADD in my forties and had to follow the long, difficult and often painful path to ADD medical diagnosis in the UK. I have been on a number of ADD medications but I am currently unmedicated but I am taking a number of supplements instead.
My life prior to diagnosis could be fairly described as a classic ADD Roller-coaster from passionate and fun times to overwhelmed and sad; from struggle at work to successful entrepreneur. After my own diagnosis, I successfully turned around my own Health, Happiness and Wellbeing.
