Online coaching for neurodivergent adults

Life, Unpaused

Whether you have a diagnosis or self identify

One-to-one coaching for neurodivergent adults who feel burnt out, overwhelmed or like they are constantly failing. We work with your wiring, not against it, to build ways of living and working that fit.

What I believe

It's your wiring, not your character

Neurodivergent challenges come from how the brain is wired, not from a flaw in character. It is a simple idea, but a hard one to truly believe, especially when you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you are constantly failing.

Through honest, clear, non-judgemental coaching rooted in lived experience, I help you recognise your strengths and build healthier ways of living and working that fit.

Sound familiar?

You're not broken, and you're not imagining it

In short: if the list below sounds like your life, coaching is a place to work out what to do about it.

  • You go into the shop for one thing and come out with everything but the item you went in for.
  • No matter how hard you push, it feels like you're constantly failing while everyone else seems to manage.
  • You're running on empty: burnt out from masking and keeping up, and nobody sees the effort it takes.
  • A change of plan, even a good one, can throw your whole day off.
  • Noise, lights and busy places can turn an ordinary errand into something you need to recover from.
  • You re-read the same paragraph three times and still couldn't say what it said.
  • You've been labelled as lazy, sensitive and not enough for so long that it makes you blame your character, not your wiring.
  • The diagnosis (or the questions you're still exploring) explains a lot, and now you don't know what to do with it.
  • You feel relief and grief at the same time: it finally makes sense, and you're grieving the years you struggled without knowing why.
  • You think you might be neurodivergent, but the waiting list, the cost or the doubt have kept you from finding out.

What coaching can do

We validate your experience - we don't pathologise it

In short: judgement-free support to build routines, reduce overwhelm and understand how your own brain works.

  • Understanding your wiring

    Make sense of an ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent diagnosis, or keep exploring what might be going on.

  • Routines that hold

    Build routines and systems designed around your brain, not borrowed from someone else's.

  • Executive function design

    Work with executive function honestly: initiation, planning, time, memory and effort.

  • Burnout recovery

    Recover from burnout and overwhelm with practical pacing, rest and sensory strategies.

  • Wiring, not character

    Let go of the feeling that you are failing, unmask at your own pace and recognise your strengths.

  • Alongside other care

    Complement any medical or therapeutic care you receive. Coaching never replaces it.

  • Work and study

    Navigate work and study: reasonable adjustments, disclosure decisions, boundaries.

  • Relationships and energy

    Protect relationships and energy with clearer communication about what you need.

  • Health and wellbeing

    Make space for your health: sleep, movement, eating well and keeping on top of appointments and medication, in a way that works with your brain.

Not sure which of these you need? That is exactly what the first call is for.

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Laura

I am an NHS clinician and a qualified health coach working towards specialist accreditation in neurodiversity coaching, and I have seen many adults receive a diagnosis and be left asking: what next? What does this mean? What do I do now?

Frustratingly, there is little support for what comes after. I was diagnosed as neurodivergent as an adult, and for me it was not the diagnosis that changed my life, it was coaching. It helped me understand how my brain works and see my own strengths. Now I offer that same support: honest, direct and non-judgemental, rooted in lived experience, for adults who feel burnt out or like they are failing.

My aim is to help you move forward and build a life that works with your brain, not against it. Whether you have a diagnosis or are still exploring, I am here to work alongside you to figure out what comes next.
