Pippa Simou has over 20 years of teaching experience but left teaching in 2016 as she needed more flexibility to support her own children, who both have ADHD. She joined the team at a local charity that supports parents and professionals with children who have ADHD / ASD where she came to understand that she also has ADHD, confirming a lack of support for ADHD adults, and in particular a lack of targeted services for women with the condition. So she started ‘The ADD-vantage’ in 2020, offering support specifically to women and girls, learning to see ADHD as a strength. She provides one-to-one personal coaching, workplace support, educational consultancy, free workshops and regular online chat groups. She lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and Oscar the Cockapoo and loves baking and rambles in the countryside, so Pippa welcome to the show….
