We believe it’s good to think differently.
About Think Differently
Think Differently is a social enterprise founded by myself, Ben Cook, following my own personal experiences trying to access support for adult ADHD.
I am a certified ADHD coach, ICF accredited mental health and well-being coach, Time to Change Wales Champion and passionately believe everyone deserves the right to live to their potential.
I have built a wider team of trusted advisors, which includes doctors, therapists, counsellors, ADHD specialists, mental health and well-being professionals.
If we can’t help, we’ll direct you to someone who can. This will be someone we have approved, knowing you’ll be in safe hands.
Shared Beliefs
Our belief is in human potential, we see people as individuals, and we focus on abilities, not disabilities.
ADHD is a widely misunderstood, and largely invisible neurodiverse condition. We’d like that to change.
As many as 1 in 5 of us are neurodiverse. 1 in 5 of your family, your friends, your staff and your clients has a brain that thinks differently.
Learning and understanding how different minds work is becoming essential, so that people can thrive in their daily lives and careers.
We are united in our belief that things need to change and better support needs to be provided.
We want to raise awareness that neurodivergent minds like those with ADHD can bring huge strengths, and harnessing these can be a major asset.
Businesses, relationships, communities and society can all benefit from better understanding different ways of thinking and working.
Solutions to yesterday’s problems could potentially be found by thinking differently today.
Why we exist
Despite ADHD being a registered disability, little to no information and support is provided by the NHS.
Our 2022 research told us you want somewhere to talk openly and safely about ADHD and how it affects you personally and professionally.
People with a personal experience of ADHD are better placed to understand the needs of others.
Better support for ADHD will see a reduction in treatments for the anxiety and depression it can cause.
There has been a huge growth in businesses seeing neurodiversity as a competitive advantage. Forrester research in 2020 found that diverse organisations were more profitable and innovative, and did a better job of retaining top talent.
"A report by JPMorgan Chase found in the Financial Times that professionals in its Autism at Work initiative made fewer errors and were 90% to 140% more productive than neurotypical employees.”
We want to help individuals and businesses realise and fully embrace the potential of neurodiverse talent.
We want to help people achieve success because of their ADHD or neurodivergence, rather than in spite of it.
