Working with me

The different coaching frameworks

I offer three different coaching 'containers'. Each is designed to meet you where you are at on your own exploration of neurodivergence:

Mapping the territory

For those who are relatively early on in discovering and learning about their neurodivergence. Think of this like the map at the start of any good fiction book - helping to navigate your world.

Sustainable working

You've finally succeeded in getting that Access to Work grant - nice, and you're looking for 'coping strategy' coaching that goes beyond the generic, one-size-fits all toolbox.

Ok, now what?

You've got a solid understanding of your neurodivergent experience, and sustainable working. Now you're wondering what's next - perhaps expanding your map to explore new islands/areas, or navigating new seas.

I'd rather not be contained...

As with all 'containers', 'scaffolds', 'frameworks' (insert your preferred word here) - the idea is to provide enough structure whilst allowing space for adaptations and personalisation.

Neuro-affirming coaching models I use

Awareness, advocacy & acceptance

My own model developed in consultation with other neurodivergent folks:

Awareness - understanding your neurodivergent experience and how this shows up day to day

Advocacy- setting boundaries and learning accessible ways to communicate your needs to others

Acceptance - cultivating a positive neurodivergent identity, recognising internalised ableism

This model was also inspired and influenced by Louise Lucas' work on 'Supporting Neurodivergent Wellbeing'.

ATTUNED®

Awareness, advocacy & acceptance

Creating a supportive, understanding environment tailored to your needs.

The foundational model taught in my neurodiversity coaching certification:

A - acceptance - create safety and remove shame
T - trust - build connection and consistency
T - tools - use support that works with, not against, the brain
U - understanding - explore patterns, needs and context
N - notice - build awareness and insight
E - empower - support autonomy and self defined success
D - do - support action that fits your rhythm

What is ATTUNED?

Is coaching the right support for now?

Able to be both held and stretched

Trust, at least a little, that you’re OK

Able to be both held and stretched

There are times when validation is vital, especially when getting through the day is enough.

There are also times when you’re ready to be gently challenged, to step into new ways of thinking and being.

In coaching, I offer both. The question is whether you’re open to both.

Have some energy for change

Trust, at least a little, that you’re OK

Able to be both held and stretched

Growth can be slow and non-linear, but it still asks for your attention. If all your energy is going into getting through the day, it may be hard to engage.

Although sometimes the work is learning how to create more space.

Trust, at least a little, that you’re OK

You don’t need unshakable confidence, but it helps if your worth isn’t something you’re asking coaching to prove.

This space works best when there’s a quiet sense, however small, that you’re already enough.

If that feels out of reach, therapy can help build that foundation first.

Here for the process

Feel a spark of curiosity

Trust, at least a little, that you’re OK

Coaching isn’t a quick fix (there's nothing to fix).

It’s a space for experimentation, and curiosity not just outcomes.

Feel a spark of curiosity

Even faintly, there’s something in you reaching for more - meaning, possibility, aliveness.

What makes me different as a coach?

Curiosity and wellbeing are the 'red threads' that run through my coaching practice.

Many coaches focus on strategies and techniques to 'hack' the brain. I like to start from a place of understanding your neurodivergence and making sure you are well resourced.

Whilst Access to Work loves 'coping strategies', I don't subscribe to the idea that we should be aiming only to 'cope'. Instead my focus is on sustainability and work that is aligned to your values.

I have an integrative and holistic approach to coaching. Bringing together my different lived experiences and qualifications in yoga teaching, wellbeing and neurodiversity coaching.

Occasionally I draw on the more philosophical aspects of my PhD in particle physics, and interest in Buddhist principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please get in touch if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do you accept Access to Work funding?

Yes, I do.

Please email me, or book a call, to talk about which coaching option is the best fit for you and for the funding you have been allocated.

Can I schedule sessions monthly?

I only offer monthly sessions in the 'Ok, now what?' container.

The reason for this it is easier to maintain momentum, establish accountability, and build new habits with more frequent 1:1s.

What do I do between our 1:1s?

This time is for you to experiment and explore what we have talked about . It gives you the opportunity to make small changes and reflect on what works for you, ready for our next conversation. We can learn so much through actually doing the thing, and seeing how it goes.

What's the process for working together?

If you would like to work together then the process could look something like this:

research me
email me with any questions you have OR book a call (below) to talk it through
discuss your challenges and how I could support you. If I don’t think I am a good fit then I can refer you to other coaches
I will follow up with a summary of what we talked about and any suggestions
take some time to think it through and potentially speak to other coaches
get back in touch if you would like to work together
we both sign a coaching agreement
I book in our first session and send you the zoom invite
