The ADHD-Alcohol connection - your free RESET guide

Welcome, my spicy sis!

I’m so glad you enjoyed the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast and decided to swing by!

Whether you listened to the episode as a late diagnosed woman trying to hold it all together, or you are quietly struggling behind closed doors, you’re in the right place.

Us ADHDers often use alcohol as a high-functioning coping mechanism to quiet a racing mind, mask sensory overload, or survive burn out. But once you understand the neuroaffirming ‘why’ behind your relationship with wine, change becomes possible.

To kick start your exploration, GRAB YOUR FREE WINE O’CLOCK RESET GUIDE below.

It’s just a tiny taste of some things to try because, with ADHD/AuDHD/high sensitivity we get overwhelmed easily - so let’s start small, experiment a little and see what we find!

Nice to meet you! I’m Faye …

I help busy ADHDers who are feeling stuck in patterns with alcohol, food, relationships, or work stress — especially the kind that leads to burnout and overwhelm. Together, we work toward balance, confidence and a life that feels more authentic and energising.

I'm a therapist, ADHD coach, and grey area drinking coach with lived experience of both ADHD and alcohol dependence. I’ve been alcohol-free since 2017, was late-diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, and I’m a mum to neurodivergent young adults. Before this work, I spent years in executive leadership — so I understand the pressure to keep it all together while quietly unravelling inside.

I take a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed approach to help you make changes that stick — on your terms. I hold degrees in psychology and counselling, and I’m a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Australian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA).
