Welcome to
The ADHD Club
This is for your busy brain...
Are you a high-achieving woman with a busy mind and a restless body?
Are you ready to find your people, the ones who really get why it’s SO HARD for you calm down and be still?
If so, you’re in the right place – this is the club for you!
Whether you are diagnosed or self-identified as ADHD, this compassionate space is a place to feel less alone in navigating life with an ADHD brain as an overwhelmed woman in our frantically busy modern life.
This is what it is
A safe and inclusive online membership space guided by Clinical Psychologist Michaela Thomas, where you can be accepted for who you are and let go of the mask. Whether you’re a driven entrepreneur or a dedicated employee grappling with perfectionism, procrastination, overwhelm, shame and burnout related to being ADHD, our community is here to offer practical resources, tools, and knowledge and support you can apply to daily life.
Here's what's included
This is more than a membership, this is your dedicated space to
connect with other women sharing similar experiences of being ADHD.
Included in your membership:
- monthly themed workshops to scratch that hyperfocus itch around wanting to learn more about ADHD, and layer up new learning in a bite-sized and manageable rather than overwhelming way
- chance to ask questions not just to qualified Clinical Psychologist and ADHDer Michaela Thomas, but also to other women living with ADHD brains, to engage in discussions and learn tips and support from like-minded women.
- scheduled focus sessions to get some stuff done – all those things you are procrastinating the crap out of and either don’t start, or don’t finish, can be made easier through accountability, focus meditations and a tool called ‘body doubling’.
- guided meditations to improve your likelihood of entering into flow just before you sit down to focus on a task, either in a body doubling session with other people or on your own.
- optional buddy roulette, where you get paired up with another ADHD woman from inside the club, and can have a curious cuppa with each other. Sort of like friendship dating, but where everyone knows that oversharing is a thing, and you can allow and accept each others’ neurospicy ADHDness!
This is our vibe:
Open, honest and fun! We use playfulness as a way to get more dopamine and gamify learning. Anything pre-recorded inside the hub has frequent milestones to hit, so you feel the rewarding kick of making progress.
Don’t worry about the monthly workshops being just a rant or oversharing by the other members – Michaela is an experienced group facilitator who has also taught compassion tools to 1500 at once on a live webinar! We will all follow boundaries and be respectful with each other’s time.
This is not live coaching, it is a membership with learning and community. Each monthly workshop is 45 minutes of teaching, then 15 minutes of Q&A.
We can all say or do the wrong thing at times, as it’s human to make mistakes. All of us have experienced the pain of rejection and feeling like an outsider. The ADHD Club is a compassionate space with awareness around rejection sensitivity, oversharing and awkwardness, with protective boundaries to keep everyone safe in a community with a qualified Clinical Psychologist trained in group cohesion.
Please note: Although this is NOT therapy or coaching, members of The ADHD Club can also trust that the experienced Michaela Thomas can signpost anyone struggling with their mental health to sources of extra support, should they need it. There will be a growing resource hub of connected professionals you may wish to work with – trusted by Michaela, so you don’t have to do all the googling.

Monthly membership of £97 per month.
You can cancel whenever you want, but I recommend committing 6 months to yourself and this journey,
to get the most out of the club membership and really see the shifts build up gradually over time.
This is not going to be another one of those things you impulsively sign up to and then regret instantly,
and putting it down to “the ADHD tax” of the subscription graveyards.
So although you can leave the community whenever, the hope is you will find friends and confidants in the club and choose to stay for continued growth and compassion in your life!
Step into a community that understands you, supports you, and celebrates your unique strengths.
£97 per month for six months is worth it
I truly believe that it takes quite some time to settle into a space, get to know other members, and learn from the workshops, Q&As, and group discussions.
I am really confident that you will emerge more compassionate with yourself from being in this ADHD club for the lost girls who feel overwhelmed and put pressure on themselves to be perfect so others won’t see the chaos underneath.
So you’ll more focused, decluttered inside and out, and have healthier habits in place in your life.
Tell me more so I can overthink it a bit before I decide!
We get together every month in the workshops where you’ll learn about tools such as breathing, self-compassion, journaling, but also about the science behind the ADHD brain and the shame we feel for having the brain we have. You also get to ask questions in the group and request topics to be taught in the workshops, or get short videos to watch.
This compassionate club will help you with the self-acceptance part of your ADHD journey, to feel less alone with the stuff you feel ashamed about (like getting nothing done all day and starting new hobbies every second). Here we all have too many tabs open, and won’t judge you for your overthinking, overcomplicating brain.
When you feel less shame over who you are and the brain you were born with, you can also learn the tools you need to thrive – softening that shame with compassion. When you allow yourself all the feelings which come with the recognition of ADHD, like grief and sadness, you won’t feel like a failure for not feeling like you fit with the “super power” image of ADHD which everyone posts about on LinkedIn.
In the ADHD Club, we talk about being differently wired in a compassionate, realistic way, not in a ‘good vibes only’ way of toxic positivity. Being in a community with a Clinical Psychologist also means you get signposting to support for your mental health if you need it.
I’m Michaela Thomas and I’m a Clinical Psychologist, Couples Therapist, Speaker, Author and Podcaster. I’m happily married (but not in a perfect marriage), and the mother of a 6-year-old force of nature as well as a feisty and cheeky 1-year-old.
I help ambitious, busy people find balance over burnout, so they can live, love and work in a more meaningful way. With my specialism being perfectionism, I know how important it is to focus on connection, not perfection. I’m on a mission to show career women how to be kinder to themselves, even when feeling under pressure, using my online courses, group coaching and 1:1 therapy/coaching.
What is it again? I spaced out.
A monthly membership with workshops, productivity tools like body doubling, accountability, Q&A threads, videos, community discussions, and support through a directory of trusted professionals. Everything you need to feel less alone and ashamed as one of the lost girls with ADHD.
