Kristen Birt

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or unsure why things that seem to work for other people don't seem to work for them.

You may be experiencing burnout or persistent overwhelm. You may be questioning your capacity, confidence, or direction. You may have ADHD, be Autistic or AuDHD, be exploring neurodivergence, navigating perimenopause or another life transition - or simply know that something isn't working and want to understand why.

My work starts with understanding rather than immediately reaching for another strategy.

Using coaching, mentoring, and my Whole-Person Clarity Framework, I help you explore what may actually be happening across your attention and thinking, sensory needs, nervous system, emotions, body, capacity and environment. This helps us build a clearer picture of what may need attention and what support, adjustment, or next step might genuinely fit you.

Many of my clients have spent years appearing capable while privately working very hard to keep everything going. They may have been pushing through exhaustion, masking difficulties, questioning themselves, or assuming they need more discipline, motivation or willpower.

Rather than focusing solely on productivity or performance, our work creates space to notice patterns, understand what your system may be communicating, and make more informed choices about how you live and work.

My approach is neuro-affirming, trauma-aware, and shaped by professional training, more than 30 years' experience supporting people through change and development, and lived experience of late-diagnosed AuDHD and perimenopause.

You don't need a diagnosis or a particular label to work with me. The common starting point is simply wanting to understand yourself more clearly.

Clients often leave with greater self-understanding, stronger self-trust, clearer decisions, and a better sense of what genuinely supports them.

• Overwhelm, exhaustion and understanding capacity
• Burnout and masking
• Late-diagnosed ADHD and AuDHD
• ADHD in women
• Perimenopause and ADHD
• Executive Function challenges
• Sensory overwhelm and environmental fit
• Understanding nervous system patterns
• Self-understanding and self-trust
• Confidence and persistent self-doubt
• People-pleasing and understanding boundaries
• Identity, career, and life transitions
• Sustainable ways of living and working
• Neurodivergent parenting

My approach is underpinned by Whole-Person Clarity and Structured Self-Triage - helping you notice and understand patterns across your brain, senses, nervous system, emotions, body, capacity, and environment before deciding what may genuinely help.

Fees: £95 per 60-minute session | discounted to £540 for 6 sessions

Many people begin with a standalone Clarity Session when something isn't working, they feel overwhelmed or stuck, or they are unsure what needs attention first. We use the session to explore what may be contributing and create greater clarity around what support or next step might genuinely fit.

If you would like ongoing support, individual Coaching or Mentoring sessions can be booked at £95, or a 6-Session bundle is available for £540.

All sessions are currently online via Zoom.

You might find my approach particularly helpful if:

• You look capable from the outside but things feel much harder internally.
• You keep trying strategies but struggle to make them work consistently for you.
• You feel overwhelmed or exhausted and aren't sure whether the issue is motivation, capacity, stress, neurodivergence, or something else.
• You've discovered or begun exploring ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD and want to understand what that means for you personally.
• You're navigating perimenopause, burnout, career change, or another life transition and the way you used to function no longer feels sustainable.
• You find yourself pushing through, masking, or overriding what you need until your capacity runs out.
• You understand yourself intellectually but still struggle to recognise what you actually need.
• You want support that helps you understand yourself rather than simply telling you what to do.

You do not need a diagnosis to work with me.

We start with what you are noticing now. Rather than assuming which strategy or solution you need, I help you slow things down enough to explore the different factors that may be contributing and understand how they interact.

Sometimes that understanding points towards a practical adjustment. Sometimes it helps clarify a boundary, decision, or change. Sometimes it identifies that another type of professional support may be more appropriate. The purpose is not for me to decide for you, but to help you develop enough clarity to make a more informed choice about what comes next.

My work is coaching and mentoring, not therapy, diagnosis, or crisis support. Where something falls outside my professional scope, I will be clear about that.

Sessions are online and are designed to be neurodiversity-affirming. Different communication styles, processing speeds, sensory needs, and fluctuating capacity are welcomed and respected.
