Meet Michelle – Founder of Find Your Spark

Michelle Shavdia founded Find Your Spark in 2011, driven by a passion to support those often overlooked. With a Master’s in Coaching Psychology and Career Coaching, Michelle originally worked with at-risk young people in schools and youth centres. After receiving her own late ADHD, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia diagnoses in 2021, Michelle refocused her work to support others with similar experiences. Today, she combines professional expertise with lived insight to deliver one-to-one ADHD coaching, group workshops, and awareness training for adults, young people, parents, and organisations – all with one mission: to raise understanding and acceptance of ADHD.

We accept Access to Work funding for adults.​

Why I Do What I Do

“When I was looking for help for my neurodivergence, there was nothing for adults, it was all geared towards children. This made it challenging to cope and navigate the system therefore when I finally got my diagnosis I wanted to create something to help adults like me so they could get the support I needed. People with ADHD are at greater risk of self-harm and suicide (5 times more likely) therefore it is important for there to be accessible ADHD support and awareness from someone who really understands and gets the ADHD lived experience, not just read about it in a textbook!”.

Our Services

One-to-one ADHD Coaching

We provide one-to-one ADHD Coaching to help individuals manage challenges like focus, time management and motivation. Using coaching and BRIEF therapy, we build confidence and self-acceptance, developing the understanding that you're not broken - just different and deserving of understanding.

ADHD Awareness and support Groups

We offer ADHD groups to foster understanding and acceptance of this often misunderstood condition. Our group courses—designed for adults (18+), teens, parents, schools, and organisations as well as coaching groups— help increase confidence and knowledge in discussing ADHD whilst promoting a supportive and informed environment. These sessions aim to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and empower participants with practical insights and strategies to help with ADHD.

ADHD Assessments and Pre Assessments

Discover whether you might have ADHD with our personalised screening process. We offer pre ADHD assessments for both adults and children. Our tailored initial screening is designed to help you determine if moving forward with a full assessment is the right step for you. Contact us to find out more!

I enjoyed the sessions and believe it was really helpful to the students. I would love for it to be run again and further support to be offered to this group.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for providing this group... understanding my own needs can only make me a better parent to my neurodiverse children.

ADHD coaching client (child) via parent

He feels more confident and is able to talk aloud more in front of others. Its helped with his anger and he feels calmer and is able to sit down for longer.

ADHD coaching client

It's such a scary time going through the ADHD process...It's so much easier knowing you have people around you who have been through this before and who want to help.
