Questions?
Who is Adult-ish for?
Adult-ish is for anyone who feels like life has got a little too overwhelming.
You might be a busy professional juggling work and everything else. You might be neurospicy and find that the everyday admin other people seem to breeze through takes a lot more energy (I see you boo). You might be going through a big change, starting something new or just have a growing list of things that you can't seem to get around to.
You don't need to have a particular reason or have everything figured out. If there's something you'd like a hand with, you're welcome here.
Do I need to know exactly what I need or structure my thoughts?
No. Honestly, no. It's part of my job to help you figure that out. I know the feeling of tidying up before the cleaner comes — but you really don't need to do that here. You don't need to organise your thoughts before bringing them to me. Come as you are.
Can you teach me instead of doing it?
Absolutely. I'm a big believer in "teach a person to fish" when it makes sense. Sometimes the most useful thing I can do is help you build a system or learn. Sometimes you just need someone to take it off your plate. We can do either, or a bit of both, depending on what you need.
Isn't this something I could do myself?
Probably. I could paint my own house, service my own car or cut my own hair. The question isn't whether you can do something yourself - it's about actually finding the time, energy or headspace to do it. That's where I can help.
Why are your prices lower than a PA?
I want Adult-ish to be accessible so I've deliberately kept my pricing lower than traditional PA services where I can. I don't believe practical help should only be for wealthy people. Everyone deserves support.
Do I need to prepare for the Brain Dump?
No. You can turn up with absolutely nothing prepared. The whole point is that we figure it out together.
Is the Brain Dump really free?
Yes. It's completely free and there's no obligation to work with Adult-ish afterwards. If, after chatting, you decide my services aren't right for you, that's entirely fine! The Brain Dump is there to work out what you actually need - even if the answer is that Adult-ish isn't the right fit.
Where are you based?
I'm based in London and Leicester, and can travel for some types of in-person work. Plenty of things can also be done virtually.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. While I do love meeting up for a walk or grabbing a coffee (or both!), we can easily chat over a call too. Whatever works best for you.
Can I send you things beforehand?
Yes, I encourage it! Once you've booked, I'll give you my WhatsApp number so you can send messages, screenshots, documents or voice notes if you'd like.
Do you do everything for me?
It depends on what you need. Sometimes I'll do it, sometimes we'll do it together, and sometimes I'll help you find the right person or service to take it forward.
Will my information be kept confidential?
Yes. I know that letting someone into your life and asking them to help with the things you're struggling to keep on top of can feel like a big deal. I really appreciate the trust that comes with that.
Asking for help is a brave thing to do, and I don't take it lightly. What you share with me stays private, and I'll only use your information to provide the support we've agreed on. I won't share it with anyone else without your permission, unless I'm legally required to do so.
Can you deal with legal documents?
I can help you organise information, understand what needs to be done and find the right support, but I can't provide legal advice or complete legal documents on your behalf.
Still wondering about something? Bring it to your Brain Dump or email me.
