Being Attentive. Being Effective. Being Well.

Psychiatrist • Change Agent • Executive Coach

ADHD and executive dysfunction don’t just affect focus — they shape motivation, emotions, habits, decision-making, and how we show up at work and in life. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with executive coaching to help adults move from overwhelm and inconsistency to clarity, structure, and sustainable performance.

Meet Dr Akuh Adaji

As a psychiatrist, change agent, and executive coach, my mission is to create inclusive, high-performing workplaces that embrace neurological diversity—particularly ADHD. I combine clinical expertise with strategic organizational insight to help employers and employees navigate challenges and harness the strengths that ADHD brings to the professional environment.

My background includes advanced training in Organizational Psychiatry and Psychology from King’s College London and Psychiatry specialization at the Mayo Clinic, equipping me with deep diagnostic and therapeutic understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions. An MBA from Deakin University and a PhD from Monash University further strengthen my ability to integrate clinical insight with business acumen and evidence-based strategy.

Through my work, I empower organizations to transform neurodiversity awareness into meaningful action—creating systems that support focus, innovation, and well-being. My goal is not only to manage ADHD effectively but to help workplaces recognize it as a valuable driver of creativity, resilience, and performance.
