About us

About Find Your Spark

At Find Your Spark, we support neurodivergent adults, young people, and parents to better understand ADHD—and themselves.

We believe ADHD isn’t something to be “fixed” or “hidden.” It’s a unique way of experiencing the world that deserves compassion, curiosity, and the right tools. Through 1:1 coaching, group workshops, and community support, we help you move from overwhelm to clarity, and from self-doubt to self-trust.

Our Mission

To raise awareness, acceptance, and confidence in people with ADHD by providing accessible, compassionate, and evidence-based support. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are waiting for an assessment, or were diagnosed years ago but still feel like you’re “winging it”—you are welcome here.

Our Values

At the heart of everything we do are:

Trust

A safe, non-judgemental space.


Respect

Every journey is valid, and every brain is welcome.

Kindness

Compassion, always.

Meet Michelle Shavdia – Founder & ADHD Coach

Find Your Spark was founded in 2011 by Michelle Shavdia following the London Riots.

Michelle became qualified in Coaching Psychology and Career Coaching at Masters level in 2015 and was working in schools and youth centres to support at-risk young people.  Soon thereafter, Michelle and Find Your Spark moved to Colchester and began working with professionals, parents and young people within schools delivering training in mental health awareness and resilience as well as one-to-one coaching and BRIEF therapy.

In 2021, Michelle was late diagnosed with ADHD, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia.  As a result, she uses her Coaching Psychology Masters qualification to support those with a similar lived experience as herself.  Her mission is to raise awareness and acceptance in the still very much misunderstood condition of ADHD.  She does this via one-to-one coaching and post diagnostic support plus ADHD awareness and coaching groups.  Michelle supports adults, young people, their parents and has worked with schools and organisations.  All with the mission of raising awareness and understanding into ADHD.
