About me
I am a coach who works with adults to help them realise their full potential in work, relationships and life.
As an accredited neurodiversity coach, I’m passionate about helping individuals harness their unique strengths. I was already working as a coach when I was diagnosed with both Autism and ADHD. This inspired me to complete further training specialising in Neurodiversity. As I learned more so many of my experiences, challenges and strengths suddenly made sense to me. With greater knowledge I was able to develop self-acceptance and compassion. My lived experience of being late diagnosed helps me understands some of the challenges that can arise from being a neurodivergent thinker in a neurotypical world.
I will meet you with empathy wherever you are, whether that is curious about a diagnosis or working through the emotions and next steps after getting one. I understand that even with the labels of ADHD, Autism or Dyslexia we are all different, so my approach is tailored to you as an individual.
Ways of Working
My coaching provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to connect with yourself and what you need.
I partner with you to work out strategies and tools to overcome challenges you are facing and create change in any areas of your life that feel stuck. The coaching framework provides you with a structure to move forward and progress. I can support you to understand your strengths leading to greater self-acceptance and compassion. The coaching works to make both practical changes and changes to the way you feel.
My aim is to help you realise your full potential with meaningful and lasting change.
I offer a free introductory session. In this time, we can talk about your situation and what you would like to get from the coaching. I can explain more about how my coaching works and answer any questions you have.
