Unlock Your Potential with Neuro-Affirmative Coaching
I believe that everyone deserves to feel well, enjoy life, and step into their full potential. My mission is to help you navigate the challenges of neuro differences, through expert ADHD and Autism coaching, and turn them into strengths.
As a specialist coach, I support individuals with ADHD, Autism, Tourette’s, Dyslexia, and other neurotypes, including those managing co-occurring conditions such as OCD, anxiety, stress, and low mood. Drawing from both professional expertise and lived experience, I understand the nuances of neurodivergence, not just in theory but in practice. I’ve walked this path myself and know first-hand that with the right support, transformation is possible.
A Unique Approach Rooted in Science and Lived Experience
My coaching is a powerful fusion of psychology, neuroscience, quantum science, and practical strategies, interwoven with wisdom from both Western and Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions. At its core is my Systemic Contextual Coaching Model, a neuro-affirmative, integrative framework that goes beyond conventional coaching to encompass every aspect of our being: mind, body, and environment.
This model acknowledges that we are not isolated individuals but deeply interconnected with the systems around us, our relationships, workplaces, cultural influences, and even the unseen forces shaping our thoughts and behaviours. Drawing from quantum science, which reveals the profound relationship between consciousness and reality, and spiritual traditions that emphasise self-awareness, energy, and flow, I help clients align with their most authentic selves.
Through this expansive approach, we move beyond symptom management and step into transformation, unlocking deeper self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change that is sustainable on every level.
Whether you’re looking to build self-awareness, enhance executive function, develop emotional regulation, or navigate career challenges, my approach equips you with the tools, confidence, and clarity to move forward.
Neurodivergent Coaching for a Neuro-Inclusive World
I am deeply committed to social justice and work at the intersection of coaching psychology and neurodiversity advocacy. Through my research, publications, supervision and training, I strive to challenge systemic ableism and foster a world where neurodivergence is embraced as an asset.
Let’s unlock your potential together. Connect with me on LinkedIn to explore my qualifications, research, and coaching philosophy, and discover how we can create meaningful change in your life.

Systemic Contextual Coaching Model
Integral to this neuro-affirmative model is the consideration of intersectionality, neuroqueerness, and the biopsychosocial model of human functioning. These concepts enrich our understanding of self-context by recognising the multiple, intersecting identities and experiences that shape our self-awareness, well-being and social action. Intersectionality underscores how our cognitive and emotional processes are not only personal but are also shaped by the societal structures and cultural narratives that intersect with our individual identities. This perspective is crucial in connecting our present self-awareness to our past experiences and future aspirations, providing a comprehensive understanding of how various facets of identity impact our well-being and guiding us toward more inclusive and effective strategies for personal development.
Universal context – The universal context is the higher-level system and the underlying essence of all being and becoming in the universe. It can encompass ideas of God, spirituality, existentialism, astrology, quantum physics, and reality outside human perception and consciousness.
Collective context – Examines how our ‘being’ operates within the constructs of society, culture, and community, highlighting the influence of morals and ethics on our identity.
Self context – Enhanced by an understanding of intersectionality, this dimension focuses on our current self-awareness, linking to our past and envisioned futures, and examines how our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes are influenced by and influence our biological functioning and overall well-being.
Values context – The core and guiding compass of chosen life directions. Our values are connected to life purpose and personal growth (eudaimonia).

Our Partners
We specialise in coaching, mentoring, training, and consultancy. However, we recognise that neuro-minority individuals might need support from other services too. To this end, we work in close partnership with several organisations that offer assessment, medication, therapy, and counselling, as well as practical and targeted support.
