Debbie Thompson, a dynamic and compassionate educator, counsellor, and mother, has spent her life journey navigating through various roles and discovering her true calling. Born in South Africa, Debbie moved to the UK, where she completed her education, met her husband, and embarked on a career that, though successful, left her unfulfilled. Despite excelling in mathematics and qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, Debbie's true passion lay elsewhere. Her journey took a transformative turn with the arrival of her three beautiful children. Debbie chose to be a full-time mother and later transitioned into teaching, a role in which she truly thrived. She dedicated six years to working in a challenging school in a low socio-economic area, making a significant impact on the lives of her students. Simultaneously, she built a thriving business selling STEM toys online, showcasing her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. In 2020, Debbie's life took another significant turn when her eldest daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. This diagnosis, coupled with her son’s similar struggles, opened her eyes to the challenges faced by those with ADHD. Motivated by her children’s experiences and her own, Debbie qualified as a counsellor in 2023, dedicating herself to helping others navigate the complexities of ADHD. Debbie founded ADD-Vantage, a platform designed to educate and support individuals with ADHD and their families.
