Mental Wealth Specialist & ADHD Coach

Leadership & mental health coaching for people who carry a lot

Something's not right, and you know it. Whether you're a leader feeling the pressure, struggling with your mental health, or wondering if your ADHD is getting in the way. You've come to the right place. 

"The mental clarity and focus I now have is incredible.
No more self-doubt, no more imposter syndrome."

– Ian Dempsey

About Sam

I walked out of my job as a school deputy head and started Blue Monkey Coaching. Best decision I ever made.

Since then I've coached hundreds of people out of their headblocks. I bring lived experience: burnout, late-diagnosed ADHD at 52, serious illness, and the chaos of holding down a career while raising a family. I'm not a coach who coaches from the outside. I've been exactly where my clients are.

That's why it works.

Clients describe working with me as life-changing. I'd simply say: I listen, I don't judge, and I help you see what's been there all along.
