frequently Asked Questions
Neurodivergent-affirming coaching supports how your brain naturally works. It avoids pathologising and focuses on strengths, sensory needs, and real-life strategies that honour your lived experience.
Coaching is future-focused and collaborative. While therapy often explores past wounds or diagnoses, coaching supports goal-setting, routine-building, and navigating everyday challenges with practical tools.
No. Many clients have self-identified identified as neurodivergent, are waiting an assessment or are still exploring what neurodivergence means for them. Your lived experience is valid, with or without a formal label.
Yes. Executive functioning challenges, like time-blindness, task initiation, motivation, planning, and emotional regulation, are at the heart of my neuro-affirming coaching.
Even if you don’t know your primary goals, I can help you identify them. We can focus on setting boundaries and routines, taking steps to recover from burnout, work-life balance, unmasking, alignment with core values and many more, whether personal or professional.
Yes. Neuro-affirming coaching recognises the impact of trauma, rejection sensitivity, and chronic invalidation. It creates space for safety, autonomy, and trust.
No. Coaching is not about getting “fixed”. You are NOT broken, deficient or flawed. Coaching is about helping you identify and align with your strengths, building habits and systems that work for you, and validating your experience so you can live without shame.
This is very common as we often don’t reach out for support until we’re really struggling. We’ll co-create a gentle path that meets you where you are, with small steps that feel manageable and affirming.
It’s a conversation of up to 45-minutes, at no charge to you, where we explore what you consider to be problematic, what’s getting in your way, and where support could help. No pressure. No pushy selling. Just space for you to ask questions, reflect honestly, and see if coaching feels like something you would benefit from right now, and if working with me is the right fit for you.
