Founder story

Hi, I’m Emma-Louise. For over 30 years I walked through life carrying an invisible, exhausting weight. I felt misfitted, traumatised, constantly lost, and lived with the heartbreaking internal belief that I was simply “weird, dumb, and thick.”

Everything shifted when I was finally diagnosed as AuDHD, alongside navigating the world as a mother to a neurodivergent child. After 14 years within the civil service, I reached a turning point and left, because traditional therapy, standard wellness models, and cookie-cutter tools were fundamentally broken for neurodivergent minds. They didn’t work for me, and they weren’t working for the people who needed them most.

I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands. I took traditional therapies, frameworks, and self-regulation tools, dismantled them completely, and stripped away the neurotypical assumptions. I reinterpreted and re-engineered every piece to fit how an AuDHD brain actually operates. By adapting these tools to my own wiring, I trained my brain to heal, re-wire, and safely unmask. For the first time in my life, I uncovered who I truly was beneath thirty years of masking and trauma.

I built Find Your Inner Peace Ltd from a lifetime of lived experience. Growing up misunderstood, masking ADHD, Autism and OCD for decades, and rebuilding after postnatal depression, I saw the gaps the system could not close. So I built my own tools and strategies through therapy, lived experience, and showing up for myself every single day. Today, we turn those lessons into resources and programmes that help families and parents grow alongside their children, while supporting parents and guardians in their own brain health. We support children of all ages, schools, further education settings and workplaces to feel more resilient, clearer and more in control.

For most of my life, I had to fight for the understanding, support, and compassion that should have been there from the start. My journey began long before senior roles, back when I was a six-year-old navigating OCD, feeling overwhelmed in a world that did not yet have the language for it.

Living with undiagnosed ADHD, Autism and OCD shaped every part of my early life, the constant masking, suicidal ideation, and the exhaustion of trying to fit environments never designed for my brain. Alongside this came Coeliac Disease and years of feeling unwell without clear answers.

For years, I worked inside the system, yet the system never truly saw me. I saw the gaps, the children slipping through, the parents dismissed, the women in midlife told it was "just stress", the professionals burning out because no one had ever taught them how their own brain worked.

I sat in senior government rooms shaping mental-health strategy while quietly holding my own diagnosis together with sellotape. I watched policy get written for people like me, without people like me. I learned exactly where the pathways break, who they leave behind, and why so many families are still waiting years for support that should have arrived on day one.

Then motherhood changed everything. Postnatal depression stripped away every coping strategy I had built. My OCD, once "managed", came back with a force I could not out-work. And when I began to see the same neurodivergent patterns in my own child, I refused to let another generation grow up unseen.

Find Your Inner Peace Ltd. is the answer I could not find, translated from 14 years of Brain Health leadership and a lifetime of lived experience into practical, neuroscience-guided tools any family, school or workplace can actually use, without waiting for a diagnosis, a referral, or permission.
