About
Hi, I am Zoe.
- Few things hit harder than recognising your potential for greatness, only to hit roadblocks in bringing it to life. Despite giving your all to your goals, battling procrastination and self-doubt can knock you off track, leaving you feeling low and diving into dark places like depression and anxiety. I’ve been there myself, alongside countless others struggling with similar setbacks.
- I am a lucky ADHDer who has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, but let me tell you, my Ph.D. years were rough. None of my past study tricks worked in this crazy, unstructured journey full of uncertainties. I didn’t even know I had ADHD back then! Yet I figured out my own patterns and came up with new ways to handle all the chaos. But hey, it’s not easy! That whole experience fired me up to help others facing similar struggles. That’s why I’ve trained to become a professional coach – to be here to help you through it all!
- Right now, I’m a mentor for students with disabilities at the ADRC (Accessibility & Disability Resource Centre) at the University of Cambridge, alongside my research job at the same place. Over the last five years, I’ve been helping students from top universities in the UK, Netherlands, China, and Australia grow. I’ve been all about showing them how to spot their strengths, set personal goals, and improve their executive functions to unlock their full potential. As I’ve moved forward in my career, I’ve been guiding young professionals through all those job worries, showing them how to make the most of what they’re good at and plot their way up.

Inside Coaching Session with Me
- Step into one of my coaching sessions, and you’ll find it’s more like a relaxed conversation than a formal meeting. However, don’t let the casual vibe fool you –it’s all about you and your aspirations. My role? To be your ally in uncovering your strengths, passions, and using them to reach your goals.
- Together, we’ll explore the intricacies of executive function, uncovering how your thoughts, emotions, and actions intertwine. We’ll identify any patterns that may impede your executive function performance, and develop strategies to overcome these obstacles, ultimately enhancing your executive functions.

I'm here to help you achieve your full potential.
Why executive function?
- It wasn’t until my challenging and unstructured Ph.D. years, that I realised the extent of the executive function strategies I had unconsciously developed for myself. This revelation shed light on my struggles and prompted me to explore tailored strategies to improve my executive functions.
- While I may not have experienced your exact journey, I empathies deeply with the emotions you’re facing beyond what textbooks or seminars can convey. I don’t promise miracles, but I can assure you that I’ll dedicate all my efforts to supporting you. If you’ve made it this far, I believe you’re ready to invest in yourself with the same level of commitment.
