FAQs

  • Not at all. Coaching and/or consulting is available to anyone who feels they need support—whether you are diagnosed, self-identifying, or exploring neurodivergence. This includes adults, parents, or those seeking better understanding for themselves or their children.

    I am unable to diagnose but can recommend professionals who can.

  • My coaching is a unique blend of coaching and consulting to offer a comprehensive, personalised service.

    Here’s what to expect:

    ● We begin with an initial consultation to understand your situation, goals, and support needs.

    ● Sessions are held via Zoom, last 50 minutes, and are entirely bespoke—there is no one-size-fits-all programme.

    ● Depending on your goals, sessions may include:

    ○ Psychoeducation about neurodivergence, how your conditions interlink and influence one another and related challenges

    ○ Identifying strengths and values

    ○ Creating and working toward achievable goals

    ○ Developing bespoke strategies and accommodations for daily life, work, or parenting

    ○ Emotional support and empowerment

    ○ Support for parents of neurodivergent children

    ○ Support to identify workplace and school accommodations

    ○ Assessment of sensory differences, triggers and providing strategies.

  • While both coaching and therapy are supportive services, they serve different purposes and approaches. My neurodiversity coaching offers a bespoke, integrative service that is tailored specifically to you or your child’s unique needs, neurotype, and life context.

    In our sessions, I use core coaching skills—such as asking open, reflective questions and helping you explore your goals—to empower you to move forward with confidence. But my approach goes beyond traditional coaching. I also bring in elements of consulting and psychoeducation, helping you understand your neurotype, how different neurodivergent conditions (like ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, and more) intersect, and how these may affect your daily life.

    We work together to identify and experiment with bespoke strategies that suit your unique brain. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice; instead, we collaborate to find what truly works for you, based on your lived experience. I take a whole-person approach—considering your sensory system, emotional regulation, environment, and the specific ways your brain processes information. The sensory system, in particular, is often overlooked in support services, and yet it's a vital part of managing neurodivergent needs.

    Additionally, I support parents and caregivers in understanding their neurodivergent children. This includes guidance around school accommodations, ideas for workplace support, insights into the diagnostic process, and signposting to relevant community resources. Many of my clients come to me after receiving a diagnosis (or while seeking one), often feeling left with little more than a label and perhaps a medication—without real understanding, education, or tools to navigate their lives.

    This is where my coaching/consulting fills a crucial gap. I help bridge the space between diagnosis and sustainable support—offering a safe space for exploration, learning, and growth that’s grounded in lived experience and professional knowledge.

    The key difference between coaching and therapy lies in scope and focus. Therapy is typically led by a licensed mental health professional and may involve diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, processing past trauma, or addressing emotional disorders. Common types of therapy for neurodivergence include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech and Language Therapy (SLT), and psychotherapy tailored for autism or ADHD.

    As a coach and consultant, I do not diagnose or prescribe medication, nor do I treat mental health conditions. Instead, I focus on helping you understand yourself better, develop personalised strategies, and work toward goals in a way that is empowering, practical, and deeply affirming of your neurodivergent identity.

  • There’s no formal homework, but reflection and application are important parts of the process. You may find it helpful to:

     ● Try out strategies discussed in the session

    ● Notice what works or doesn’t in your daily routine

    ● Bring reflections or questions to the next session This helps us refine and personalise your support even more

     ● There may be resources and workbooks I recommend for you to look at or complete, again this is entirely up to you as to whether you want the additional resources

  • My coaching is designed to be as accessible and neurodivergent-affirming as possible.

    You’re welcome to request:

    ● Cameras off during sessions

    ● Breaks during or between sessions

    ● Visual aids or session summaries

    ● Questions phrased in a certain way or extra processing time

    Just let me know what you need—your comfort and access matter

  • Yes, I offer coaching sessions to parents. If you're a parent or carer of a neurodivergent child, coaching can support you to:

    ● Better understand your child’s needs and behaviours

    ● Build confidence in advocacy and communication

    ● Learn tools for reducing stress and overwhelm

    ● Create strategies that support your child and your own wellbeing

    I don’t work directly with young children, but I’m happy to recommend trusted professionals who do.

  • I work with people who identify with or are exploring:

    ● Autism

    ● ADHD

    ● Tourette’s Syndrome

    ● Sensory Processing Differences

    ● Dyspraxia (DCD)

    ● Co-occurring or overlapping neurotypes

    Even if you don’t quite know where you fit, we can explore that together.

  • The frequency is flexible.

    Some clients prefer weekly sessions, others choose fortnightly or ad-hoc support. We’ll discuss what works best for your needs, energy levels, and goals.

  • No, I work with clients internationally, provided we can find a time zone that suits us both. Sessions are conducted via Zoom, so you can attend from wherever you feel most comfortable.

  • If you’re unsure whether coaching is right for you, feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs. There’s no pressure—just a safe space to explore what would help you feel supported

Exploring and learning more about your neurodivergence and neurotype matters

Understanding your own neurotype and any overlapping conditions helps create effective support. Complex neurodivergence is often supported by a multi modal approach consisting of:

● Medication for tics, ADHD, anxiety and co-occuring mental health conditions or symptoms. Knowing this helps tailor this appropriately and find the right combination as often one medication can impact another co-occuring condition.

● Therapy for anxiety, OCD or other mental health conditions or specialist therapy for problematic tics such as CBIT or professional support experienced in dealing with trauma. Although anxiety can occur on its own, it can often be caused by unmanaged neurodivergence such as undiagnosed Autism and ADHD. OCD type symtpoms can also present as a coping mechanism for managing ADHD - to bring order to a chaotic mind. OCD is common with Tourettes Syndrome and ADHD, aswell as other conditions such as depression, anxiety and trauma symptoms.

● Other professionals such as Speech and language therapists, sensory integration therapist, physiotherapists, occupational therapy can all play an important role. Holistic professionals can also help support a person such as Nutritionist, massage therapist, reiki, acupuncture but this is an individual choice.

● Coaching/consulting for managing your conditions on a day-to day basis, managing executive function challenges and daily strategies. Coaching explores psychoeducation, learning about your conditions, how they interlink and finding bespoke strategies to help you manage day - to day with a complex neurodivergent profile. In addition to this, looking at your needs through a sensory and environmental lens, in the workplace, school and at home to identify any sensory accommodations that would support you. 

Not everyone will need all of these interventions. It is entirely bespoke and personalised and depends on you unique neurodivergent profile. If you have the Tourettes Trio - ADHD, OCD and ADHD (plus Autism), you may need more tailored and varied support.
