How does payment work?
Coaching is offered on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis. This means you only need to pay for each session individually, with payment made before the session takes place.
If it’s easier financially, you’re also welcome to pay for a block of sessions in advance — the choice is yours.
Details for bank transfer will be provided when you book your session.
How many sessions do you get?
If your coaching is funded by an employer, they may set restrictions on the number of sessions they are able to cover.
I don’t place a limit on the number of sessions you can have. Every person is individual and works at a different pace, and different goals take different amounts of time. You may achieve your initial goal and then decide to work on something new.
Progress is regularly reviewed and discussed together, so if we feel coaching is no longer beneficial, we can make a plan to bring sessions to a close in a way that feels right for you.
What results can I expect?
Coaching is a personal process, so results vary depending on your goals and circumstances. Many clients experience:
· Greater confidence in yourself
· Improved self‑awareness and understanding of how your brain works
· Better emotional regulation
· Stronger executive function skills such as organisation, planning, and time management
· Enhanced communication and self‑advocacy at work, in education, or in personal relationships
· Practical strategies for overcoming challenges and achieving goals
Because coaching is tailored to you, progress is regularly reviewed together. You may achieve one goal and then decide to focus on something new, or you may reach a point where coaching feels complete. The journey is flexible, and the results are about what matters most to you.
Can employers fund coaching sessions?
Yes. Some employers choose to fund coaching as part of professional development, wellbeing, or workplace support. As coaching can help employees build confidence, improve communication, strengthen executive function skills, and navigate career transitions — all of which benefit both the individual and the organisation.
If your employer is supportive, they may cover the cost of sessions directly or reimburse you. This is often arranged through HR, occupational health, or a manager as part of workplace adjustments or staff development.
Is there any financial support available?
Coaching sessions are self‑funded and must be paid in advance.
There’s no requirement to book multiple sessions upfront — you can decide as you go.
Pricing will be discussed during your complimentary 30‑minute introductory session.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Coaching sessions are confidential, meaning what we discuss stays between us. This creates a safe and supportive space where you can explore your goals, challenges, and strategies openly.
The only exceptions would be rare circumstances where I may be legally or ethically required to share information (for example, if there were concerns about safety). Otherwise, your privacy is always respected.
If you’d like to learn more about how coaching works, feel free to get in touch.
Do you offer packages or one off sessions?
I don’t offer fixed packages, because coaching is personal — different people work at different speeds, and different goals take different amounts of time. Packages can sometimes feel limiting, so instead I focus on supporting you in a way that works best for you and your brain.
I offer regular sessions on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis, meaning you only need to pay for each session individually, as long as payment is made before the session. This gives you flexibility and consistency: you can book ongoing sessions that suit your needs, without being tied to a package, while still having the reassurance of regular support.
How do I prepare for my first session?
Preparing for your first neurodiversity coaching session can help you feel confident and get the most out of your time.
· Your first coaching session is about feeling comfortable and ready to focus. Here are some helpful tips:
· Choose a time that suits you — if you struggle to focus later in the day, book a morning slot; if you prefer time to reflect afterwards, evenings or weekend sessions may work better.
· Check your setup — if we’re meeting on Teams, test your connection about 15 minutes before. For in‑person sessions, plan your route and timings.
· Minimise distractions — keep your phone out of sight, sit in a quiet space, or move away from windows. If sensory tools help you focus, bring a fidget or something similar.
· Make notes ahead of time — jot down things you’d like to discuss, possible goals, or questions you want to ask.
· Create a comfortable environment — meeting someone new can feel daunting, so choose a space where you feel at ease. On Teams, you don’t have to sit at a desk if that’s not comfortable for you.
· Take time to transition — give yourself space before and after the session to decompress and shift between tasks (e.g., finishing work and moving into personal reflection).
· Remember, there are no wrong answers — coaching is about you, so there are no “stupid” questions and no right or wrong way to show up.
The most important thing is that you feel relaxed and ready. Coaching is tailored to you, so preparation is simply about creating the best environment for your focus and goals.
What topics can we work on together?
Topics are always personalised and client‑focused, so they differ from person to person. Examples include:
· Building confidence
· Developing self‑awareness
· Improving emotional regulation
· Strengthening self‑advocacy skills
· Support with organisation, planning, and executive function (time management, focus, prioritising tasks)
Who can benefit from neurodiversity coaching?
Simply put - anyone. Neurodiversity coaching is for people who want to make positive changes, whether they’re feeling stuck, looking to improve in some way, or navigating career and life transitions.
Coaching helps you build confidence, with emotional regulation, self‑awareness, and communication skills. It can also support with executive function challenges, giving you tools to feel more in control of daily life. Along the way, it boosts not only self‑confidence but also self‑advocacy - helping you speak up for your needs and strengths.
In short, neurodiversity coaching is for anyone who wants to embrace how their mind works, develop strategies to make life a little easier, and feel more confident tackling personal and professional goals.
Are sessions only available online?
No — sessions can be held:
In person (depending on location)
By phone
Online via Teams
This gives you flexibility to choose what works best.
If you prefer in‑person sessions, please note that any travel costs will need to be covered outside of York.
What is neurodiversity coaching?
Neurodiversity coaching is a supportive, strengths‑based approach for people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent profiles. At its core, coaching is about working together to set meaningful goals and find practical strategies to achieve them.
Coaching mainly focuses on the present and future — helping you work with your brain, celebrate your strengths, and build confidence in everyday life. Each session is tailored to you, helping to build tools that make sense for you and your goals.
How many sessions do you get?
Every individual is unique.
There are no minimum or maximum requirements.
The number of sessions is flexible and reviewed on a case‑by‑case basis, depending on your needs and goals.
