Lauren O’Carroll is an award-winning ADHD parent coach, speaker, writer, and advocate who helps parents embrace their wiring and create homes that work with, not against, their ADHD brains. As an ADHD mum raising two neurodivergent daughters, Lauren brings raw honesty and lived experience to her work, alongside more than twenty years in advocacy, learning disability, mental health, and the NHS.

Through her business Positively Parenting and her membership community Growing Extraordinary Humans, she supports parents often left out of the ADHD conversation, helping them move away from shame and struggle, and lean into the joy, creativity, and connection that ADHD can bring.

Her approach combines science-backed frameworks with deep compassion, rooted in the belief that “kids do well if they can… and so do parents.” (adapted from the phrase Dr Ross Greene coined – cheers Ross)

Lauren is becoming an ADHD UK Ambassador to champion early access to support, affordable resources, and greater awareness of the realities for EVERYONE in a neurodivergent family. She is passionate about making sure parents feel seen, validated, and equipped to raise their kids, not shamed, gaslit or left behind.
