I'm building a peer community for adults navigating ADHD

A few years ago, my husband was diagnosed with ADHD.  Navigating a late diagnosis and being the person close to someone going through this is a particular experience.

It felt like finally having a word for something we had both been navigating for a long time, something we should have had a tool for. 

I tired to educate myself and went into research mode. I suddently realised I had been developing neurodivergent friendly systems in our lives for almost 20 years. I had never understood why systems failed or succeeded. I just kept pivoting adn tryign again. Some routines and systems lasted 5 munites and some 5 years. Looking back I realised several mechanisms that made the once that lasted work. 

In the first year of his diagnosis we met other people in the same situation and the realisation of how lonely we both felt in the experience and how much we longed to be seen was truly astonishing. The loneliess for both of us is what shattered me the most. 

​

ADHD is not uncommon. More and more people are diagnosed, seeking diagnosis. Yet people feel alone and unsupported. 

I didn't realise at the time, but this experience of loneliness was the start of the idea for Common Clarity: a peer community for people struggelign with ADHD symptoms. 

​

​

And the more I read, the more I understood that what we had been missing was not information. It was structure, and people who understood.

That is where Common Clarity began.

What it is

Common Clarity is a peer support community for adults navigating ADHD. It is being built right now, and it is not yet live.

The vision is a structured community for the space between a clinical waiting list and going it alone. Somewhere with low friction, real human connection, and just enough scaffolding to make the day feel more manageable. Not an app. Not therapy. Something in between, designed around how ADHD actually works rather than how it is supposed to work.

The tools built for this problem often depend on the very capacity the problem takes away. Common Clarity is being designed to work around that.

Where it is going

I am completing an MSc in Digital Health at the University of Roehampton. My dissertation is a feasibility study of this model, whether a structured, prompt-led peer community can meaningfully support adults experiencing ADHD-related symptoms. The academic pilot runs this spring, and the community will launch in autumn 2026.

This is being built slowly and carefully, with research behind every decision.

Why your voice matters

I believe this has to be built with the people it is for, not just designed for them. That means I want to hear from you before the community launches. What does your day actually feel like? What has helped and what has not? What would make you show up somewhere like this?

You do not need a formal diagnosis to be relevant here. Many people navigating executive function challenges have never been assessed, or are still waiting. If the experience resonates, I would love to hear from you. And if you are a partner, parent or friend trying to understand what ADHD looks like from the inside, you are welcome here too.

What happens when you sign up

You join the email list. I will keep you updated as things take shape. That includes an invitation to take part in a short research survey, the opportunity to join the pilot community, and early access when the community launches in the autumn. I may also send occasional updates outside of this. Things I am learning, questions I am sitting with. Never overwhelming. Always honest.

Get in touch

If you are curious about Common Clarity, the research behind it, or just want to say hello, I would love to hear from you. You are welcome to reach out about Common Clarity and about coaching. The two are connected, and so am I.
