Paul Coombes

Paul Coombes is a certified executive function coach with extensive experience in personal and professional development. He specialises in supporting neurodivergent individuals through a practical, strengths-based process that helps clients gain clarity, build confidence, and develop effective tools and techniques for focus, motivation, organisation, and self-belief. Paul creates a safe, supportive space combining evidence-based methods with practical strategies, supporting self-awareness and meaningful action tailored to each client.

Alongside coaching, Paul also offers ADHD screening assessments – a structured, non-diagnostic way to explore ADHD-related traits and executive functioning.

Using the recognised ACE+v2 Clinical Interview tool, these assessments draw on DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria to provide a clear framework for understanding patterns of attention, focus, and executive functioning. The outcome provides valuable insight – helping clients gain clarity and self-awareness, and informing next steps such as coaching support, workplace adjustments, or pursuing a formal clinical diagnosis.
