My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. I work from the belief that understanding how your brain works is one of the most powerful tools for creating meaningful and sustainable change.

Many of the clients I work with have spent years feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood. Some have received a recent diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD, while others are exploring the possibility that they may be neurodivergent. Many have developed coping strategies that helped them survive but are no longer serving them well. My role is to help clients better understand their patterns, identify their strengths, and develop practical approaches that work for their unique needs and circumstances.

I do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every neurodivergent person is different, and strategies that work well for one individual may be ineffective for another. Rather than applying generic productivity advice or rigid behavioural systems, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their specific challenges and build personalised strategies that fit their lives.

My coaching style combines education, reflection, and practical problem-solving. Sessions often include exploring the underlying mechanisms behind difficulties such as procrastination, overwhelm, burnout, emotional regulation challenges, decision paralysis, task initiation difficulties, motivation struggles, sensory overload, and executive functioning differences. I believe that when people understand why something is happening, they are often better equipped to respond to it effectively.

A significant focus of my work is helping clients move away from self-blame. Many neurodivergent adults have spent years believing they are lazy, unmotivated, disorganised, or failing in some way. Often these beliefs develop because they have been trying to meet expectations that do not align with how their brains naturally function. Together, we work to replace self-criticism with self-understanding and practical strategies that support success.

I also place a strong emphasis on sustainability. Many neurodivergent individuals become trapped in cycles of overworking, masking, perfectionism, and burnout. While short-term solutions may sometimes produce results, they are rarely sustainable. My goal is to help clients build systems that they can maintain over time without sacrificing their wellbeing.

My work draws from over two decades of experience in neurodiversity education, coaching, and professional training. I stay informed about current research while recognising that lived experience is equally important. I aim to bridge the gap between research and real life by translating complex concepts into practical tools that clients can use immediately.

Clients can expect a supportive, non-judgemental environment where curiosity is encouraged. I ask questions, provide education, offer observations, and help clients identify patterns they may not have noticed themselves. Rather than telling people what they should do, I work alongside them to discover approaches that are realistic, meaningful, and achievable.

Areas I commonly support clients with include:

• ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD • Executive functioning challenges • Emotional regulation • Motivation and dopamine regulation • Procrastination and task initiation difficulties • Burnout and recovery • Decision-making and overwhelm • Workplace and career challenges • Self-understanding following a late diagnosis • Confidence and self-acceptance • Sustainable productivity and rest

Ultimately, my goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and practical skills so that they can navigate life with more confidence and less struggle. I believe that when people understand themselves better, they are better able to make choices that align with their strengths, values, and needs.

For more than 20 years, I have worked in the field of neurodiversity, supporting neurodivergent individuals, families, educators, professionals, and organisations through education, coaching, consultation, and training.

I am the founder of Help My Child and Neuro Adult Support, where I develop and deliver internationally CPD-accredited training on topics including ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, executive functioning, emotional regulation, workplace neurodiversity, and neurodiversity-affirming practice. My courses have been completed by professionals, educators, therapists, and parents from around the world.

Alongside my educational work, I provide one-to-one coaching and support for neurodivergent adults. My work focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges related to executive functioning, emotional regulation, burnout, motivation, overwhelm, and self-acceptance, and develop practical strategies that align with their strengths and needs.

I have also worked with organisations seeking to create more inclusive environments for neurodivergent employees, providing training and consultation on neurodiversity in the workplace.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to translating complex research into practical, accessible information that empowers people to understand themselves and others more effectively. My experience spans individual coaching, course development, public speaking, professional training, and neurodiversity advocacy.

My knowledge and expertise have been developed through more than 20 years of dedicated study, professional development, research, and practical experience in the field of neurodiversity.

I have completed a range of specialised courses and training programmes relating to ADHD, Autism, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and neurodiversity. In addition to formal training, a significant part of my professional development has come from extensive independent study, reviewing current research, learning from neurodivergent lived experiences, and continually refining my understanding through my work with clients.

As the founder of Help My Child and Neuro Adult Support, I have developed internationally CPD-accredited training programmes for professionals, educators, parents, and organisations. Creating and maintaining these courses requires ongoing engagement with emerging research, clinical perspectives, and practical support strategies within the neurodiversity field.

My approach is grounded in a combination of continuous learning, critical evaluation of research, and real-world experience supporting neurodivergent individuals across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances.
