Founder, SEND Parenting Podcast & SEND Parenting Community
Dr. Olivia Kessel is a neurodiverse advocate, medical doctor, author, and founder and host of the SEND Parenting Podcast, dedicated to supporting parents of neurodiverse children. Inspired by her journey with her wonderfully neurodiverse daughter, Alexandra—who has dyslexia and ADHD—Dr. Kessel is passionate about empowering parents with knowledge and community.
Her debut book, Beyond the Label: Empowering Parents with ADHD Girls, will be published in May 2026, offering practical insights and compassionate support for navigating ADHD in girls—a topic often overlooked in mainstream literature.
Building on the podcast's success, Dr. Kessel created the ADHD Warrior Mum's Recharge Station—a private membership and coaching space designed specifically for mums raising children with ADHD. This community offers live masterclasses with ADHD experts, Ask & Thrive group coaching calls, and practical resources that make a real difference in daily life. It's where mums can recharge, connect, and feel truly supported by others who understand the journey.
Through expert interviews, real-life stories, her upcoming book, and this dedicated membership community, Dr. Kessel ensures parents know they are not alone in their fight for the right support.
Dr. Kessel brings decades of medical and corporate expertise to this advocacy work. She has practiced medicine in Ireland, South Africa, and Eswatini, and worked with global pharmaceutical companies including Gilead and AbbVie. She founded Evolve-Care, a health consultancy supporting patients with chronic conditions and driving healthcare reform in the UK. For the past six years, she has served as Medical Director at Ingeus, providing clinical oversight including for their Access to Work program, which facilitates inclusive and neurodiverse-friendly workplaces.
