Work With Me
Esther works with neurodivergent adults who are capable, intelligent, and often high achieving, but privately exhausted.
They are managing careers, relationships, and responsibilities while quietly struggling with disorganisation, overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and the weight of years spent masking.
Money is often part of the picture. But it is rarely the whole story.
Esther understands this from the inside. Diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at 35, and ADHD at 40, she spent years achieving things on the outside while running on empty on the inside. The burnout. The masking. The health impact of never slowing down. The financial chaos that followed low-capacity seasons.
Everything changed when she stopped trying to fix herself and started understanding how her brain actually works.
That shift is the foundation of everything she does.
About Esther Bangura
Her coaching covers the areas her clients struggle with most:
- Executive function and follow-through
- Burnout, stress, and nervous system regulation
- Money management, debt, and financial consistency
- Boundaries, capacity, and self-care
- Understanding patterns, triggers, and what actually works for your brain
Her work sits at the intersection of ADHD coaching, behavioural finance, and lived neurodivergent experience. Practical, brain-friendly, and built for real life.
Professional Focus
She led one of the largest UK-focused surveys examining how neurodivergent adults manage money, with findings that have informed her coaching frameworks, podcast content, and organisational work.
Her research examined patterns across emotional and stress spending, executive dysfunction, burnout-related financial regression, money avoidance, and the systemic barriers neurodivergent people face in workplace, academic, and financial institutions.
She shares this work through:
- The Neurodivergent Money Management Podcast
- The ND Money Report
- Corporate workshops and professional speaking engagements
- LinkedIn thought leadership within the UK neurodivergent community
Background
and
Credentials
She is currently completing a BSc in International Business Management, combining academic study with her coaching practice.
Her work draws on:
- Certified ADHD coaching training
- Behavioural finance principles
- Original research conducted with hundreds of neurodivergent adults across the UK
- Lived experience of late diagnosis, burnout recovery, debt, and financial rebuilding
In 2026 she was recognised as a winner in the Commercial Category at London Metropolitan University Big Ideas Challenge for her neurodivergent money coaching work.
Esther was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at 35 and ADHD inattentive type at 40.
For years before her diagnosis she achieved things that looked impressive from the outside. Promotions.
Businesses. A two-income household. But she was running on fumes. Years of masking, pushing through, and ignoring her own capacity eventually took a toll on her health.
What she has come to understand is that the seasons where she thrived were the ones where she was unknowingly leaning into her neurodivergence.
Regulating her nervous system. Setting boundaries. Understanding her patterns. Taking down the mask and asking for support.
The diagnosis did not change who she was. It gave her language for what she had always known.
That understanding now shapes how she supports every client she works with.
Lived Experience and Perspective
WHO SHE SUPPORTS
Her clients often:
- Earn stable or high incomes yet feel financially behind
- Experience cycles of impulse or stress spending
- Avoid looking at bank accounts or financial paperwork
- Struggle to maintain budgeting systems long term
- Want to build a three-month emergency fund but cannot sustain momentum
They are often professionals between the ages of 30 and 50 who want steady, structured progress without burnout.
Her work is suited to individuals who want practical systems that respect how their brain functions rather than forcing rigid financial discipline.

APPROACH
Her approach centres on understanding, sustainability, and nervous system awareness.
She helps clients design systems across money, work, and life that adapt to fluctuating energy, executive function differences, and real-life demands.
Because it is rarely about not knowing what to do. It is about building a life that works with your brain, not one that constantly fights against it.
The truth is, the answers are already there. We just need to slow down enough to see them.
