— THE ORIGIN
Ben Pollard founded Flourishing after years of experiencing the gap first-hand: therapy wasn't action-focused enough, and generic coaching missed the nuances of ADHD. He saw that the best coaching comes from someone who truly understands the daily reality of executive function challenges — not from sympathy, but from shared experience.
Before coaching, Ben was CEO of Local Welcome CIO, a charity supporting refugees. He co-founded ADHD Together, an NHS-backed peer support community. He knows what it means to lead, to struggle, and to find ways forward — because he's done all three with ADHD.
Today, Flourishing serves adults across the UK — privately and through the government's Access to Work scheme. Every coaching session is built around the same principle: practical strategies that work for ADHD brains, delivered by people who actually have them.
Built for Brains Like Ours
"Most ADHD coaching services are run by people who learned about ADHD from textbooks. Ours is built by people who live with it every day."
Lived Experience
Our coaches have ADHD. We don't just understand it theoretically — we navigate the same challenges our clients do. That shared understanding creates trust from the very first session.
