Neurodivergent work coaching for individuals and employers

A neurodivergent coach is a specialist who supports neurodivergent people. This could be people with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. 

A neurodivergent coach knows that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t actually fit all. Instead, they aim to understand any challenges and help identify skills and strategies that support your life. Many of the clients I work with are also navigating chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, perimenopause, or other overlapping conditions - so we always factor those elements into the strategies we build. It’s never only about the neurodivergent side. 

A specialised neurodivergent coach looks at what’s already working well, what isn’t and what’s missing in terms of strategies and work rhythms.

Often, clients find it helpful to use our sessions to focus on career goals, organisation, focus, executive functioning, setting boundaries or communication in the workplace. Many find that, with the right strategies, they manage the demands of work and everyday life with far more ease, while working towards something specific, whether that's a promotion, a career change, or simply feeling less depleted by the end of each day. 

With me, no. But if you’re looking around, ask the question. Some people that I work with have only just started exploring and identify as neurodivergent; some choose never to get diagnosed, and some are on waiting lists that are years long. However you identify, or don't yet - the coaching starts with you, not a label.

No - not at all. ADHD is very common among my clients, and neurodivergent profiles often overlap. I like to think of it this way. A diagnosis gives you a place to start, but the destination is very different for everyone depending on their lived experiences and other intersections such as race and gender. So, we look at you as an individual. Working me means you receive neuroaffirmative sessions – you’ll never be gaslit or have your experiences dismissed. My promise is that sessions are tailored around you, not any label.

Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on exploring solutions and building forward momentum.

Together we'll find those solutions by looking at what your goals are, and the patterns and experiences that are stopping you from reaching them. This is action-focused - between sessions, you'll be trying things out and putting changes into practice. If you're looking for space to reflect without making changes, this isn't the right fit. We're collaborative - I don't tell you what to do, but I won't leave you stuck either. With your permission, I'll share what's worked for other clients so you've got real options to choose from - to perhaps consider, set aside , or experiment with between sessions.

Yes. All coaching sessions take place online, making them accessible from wherever you’re based. We can run sessions with the camera on or off, on the move if you fancy a walk – wherever you feel most comfortable. I’m usually sat at my desk or downstairs with the dogs (a tail might make an appearance - consider yourself warned 🐾 ).

There isn’t a set number that works for everyone. It depends  on your goals and whether your sessions are paid for privately or provided through a scheme such as Access to Work. Privately funded sessions come in blocks of 6. 

We’ll agree this before sessions start, in line with your budget or Access to Work award, so you know exactly what to expect and when.
