ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching is a collaborative partnership between a person with ADHD traits (including those impacted by ADHD) and a professional coach. The coach brings current ADHD knowledge, best practices, understanding and ADHD-friendly skills for a positive outcome.
Autism Coaching/ Mentoring
Mentoring helps autistic children and adults develop a deeper understanding of their identity. Led by the client, it fosters collaboration with the mentor in a supportive environment. This allows individuals to explore key aspects of their autism, like sensory needs, communication, or energy management.

Targeted interventions address specific areas where clients may need extra support, such as social communication, time management, or emotional regulation. These interventions are customised to each individual’s circumstances, ensuring practical, effective solutions that align with their lifestyle and goals.

Autism coaching helps clients develop essential skills, such as problem-solving, communication, and daily living management. These skills are vital for fostering independence, improving relationships, and achieving personal aspirations, whether at work, in education, or in social settings.
