Neurodivergent coaching for a life and career that fit you

I support neurodivergent adults who want to understand themselves better, feel less overwhelmed, and create ways of living and working that genuinely suit them.

You may have recently discovered you are neurodivergent, be recovering from burnout, be struggling at work, or know that your current career no longer fits. You may also be considering a career change but feel unsure where to begin.

Together, we can explore what works for you — your strengths, needs, energy, communication style and goals — and turn that understanding into practical, realistic next steps.

I offer one-to-one coaching online across the UK and in person by arrangement in Cambridge.

Does any of this sound familiar?

I adapt my coaching to meet you where you are. You might be:

Newly diagnosed or self-identifying
You are making sense of ADHD, autism, AuDHD or another neurodivergence. You may be exploring what this means for your identity, relationships, work and everyday life.

Feeling burnt out or overwhelmed
Life, work, expectations or constant masking may be taking too much out of you. You want to understand your needs and find more sustainable ways to manage your time, energy and responsibilities.

Considering a career change or looking for work
You know something needs to change, but you are not yet sure what would suit you. You may want practical support with identifying suitable work, CVs, applications, interviews and making career decisions.

Facing workplace challenges
You may be finding communication, workload, priorities, relationships or workplace expectations difficult to navigate. You may also be thinking about reasonable adjustments, Access to Work, or how to explain what you need.

New to leadership or struggling with executive functioning
Planning, prioritising, organisation or getting started on tasks can feel overwhelming. You may want to develop systems and strategies that support you without trying to force yourself into someone else’s way of working.

My coaching works with your brain, not against it
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to neurodivergence — and there is no expectation that you should have to mask, perform or pretend in coaching.

My approach is personalised, collaborative, neuroinclusive, strengths-based and practical. We will explore what is getting in the way, recognise what you already do well, and develop strategies that feel sustainable in your real life.

Sometimes our sessions will focus on practical action. At other times, you may need space to think things through, make sense of an experience or talk things aloud. Both are valuable.

My role is not to tell you who you should be. It is to help you better understand yourself, identify what you need, and make changes that feel right for you.

Who I work with
I work with neurodivergent adults and students finishing university, including people with:

• ADHD
• Autism
• AuDHD
• Dyslexia
• Dyspraxia
• Dyscalculia
• Any combination of the above

You are welcome whether you are newly diagnosed, self-identifying, exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent, or have known for many years.

I also support people who are navigating career change, job seeking, workplace challenges, leadership, burnout and major transitions.

What working with me looks like:

Free discovery call
We will have an initial relaxed, no-pressure conversation about what you are looking for and whether coaching with me feels like a good fit.

You can ask questions, share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and decide whether you would like to take things further. There is no expectation to book further sessions.

One-to-one coaching sessions
Coaching sessions are tailored to your goals, needs and current circumstances.

We might focus on self-understanding, confidence, burnout, career decisions, job searching, workplace communication, reasonable adjustments, planning and organisation, or another area that matters to you.

Where helpful, I share practical tools, strategies and relevant theory. We will work at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

Practical and realistic next steps
At the end of each session, we can agree on actions that feel realistic and achievable for you.

These may support your self-understanding, help you make progress towards a goal, or simply give you time and space to reflect. The aim is not perfection or productivity for its own sake — it is finding approaches that work in your life.

Career coaching

Career support that takes your neurodivergence into account

A career change, job search or difficult work situation can be especially draining when conventional advice does not fit the way you think, communicate or manage energy.

I offer practical, neuro-affirming career coaching to help you:

• Identify work environments and roles that may suit you
• Explore a possible career change
• Recognise your strengths and transferable skills
• Build confidence in your experience and value
• Create or improve your CV
• Approach job applications in a manageable way
• Prepare for interviews
• Navigate returning to work or moving into a new role
• Consider workplace adjustments and Access to Work support
• Make your current work more sustainable where possible
• My approach combines coaching with up-to-date, practical knowledge of the job market.

ADHD coaching

I support people with ADHD who would like to better understand how ADHD affects their work, confidence, relationships and daily life.

This may include exploring:

• Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and difficult emotions
• Self-criticism and confidence
• Planning, prioritising and task initiation
• Managing overwhelm
• Creating realistic routines and systems
• Communicating needs at work
• Building self-compassion alongside practical strategies

I bring both coaching experience and my own lived experience of ADHD management.

Autism and AuDHD coaching

I support autistic and AuDHD people to understand themselves better and navigate the practical and emotional impact of neurodivergence.

This might include making sense of a diagnosis, managing energy, reducing masking, navigating work and relationships, identifying support needs, or creating a life that feels more sustainable and aligned with who you are.

I have completed over 100 hours of coaching with autistic individuals through the Derbyshire Empower Autism Service, alongside my own lived personal experience.

Workplace support and Access to Work

Workplace difficulties are not always caused by a lack of ability. They can arise when communication styles, expectations and ways of processing information do not align.

I support neurodivergent employees who are experiencing challenges with workload, communication, organisation, workplace relationships or expectations.

Together, we can explore practical ways of working that better support your needs. This may include preparing for workplace conversations, thinking through reasonable adjustments, or using Access to Work-funded coaching sessions where appropriate.

• Autism
• AuDHD
• Joint Line manager and employee coaching
• Education Transition

Initial free discovery call or coaching session.

Fee depends on the number of sessions booked upfront and an agreement based on the individuals personal circumstances.

Access to Work funded sessions supported.

Neuro-Inclusive Liaison Service for employees and line managers

Sometimes workplace challenges are not solely about the employee or the manager. They can be caused by different communication styles, assumptions and ways of processing information.

My Neuro-Inclusive Liaison Service brings employees and line managers together to improve understanding, rebuild working relationships and develop practical ways of working that benefit everyone.

Through individual and joint coaching sessions, I support both parties to:

• Understand different communication and processing styles
• Discuss workplace challenges in a constructive way
• Improve clarity around expectations and support needs
• Develop practical agreements for working together
• Create more inclusive and sustainable ways of working
