Question 1

How does this work?

Accepted Answer

TL;DR - 15 minute free introductory chat- One-off 90-minute appointment- 60-minute appointments after thatThe details:​​15 minute free introductory chat:A relaxed opportunity for us to get to know each other.We can talk a little about what you're looking for, answer any questions you have, and see whether I feel like the right fit to support you. There's absolutely no obligation to book afterwards.​One-off 90 minute appointment (£75):This first appointment is where we'll spend around 90 minutes (this can be broken up into two parts on request) getting a detailed overview of you. I like to call it our blueprint session. We may explore your mental health history, current symptoms, executive functioning, overwhelm, burnout, routines, emotional regulation and self-understanding. This helps me understand you as a whole and we can create a personalised roadmap for our work together. I will send you a pre-appointment questionnaire, so you have processing time in advance, and I have a background of information that we can dive into further.​​Regular 60 minute appointments (£50):​​After that, future appointments are 60 minutes long. Depending on your needs, these sessions may consist of coaching, completing practical tasks, or planning. It's usually a mix of all three.The spacing of these sessions is completely up to you, you're not locked in or subscribed, it's pay-as-you-go. We may work weekly for a while, before moving to bi-weekly or even monthly. We can work together short or long term.​​​Appointments can be purchased in bundles of 4 for a reduced rate​What can you expect?Sessions are completed via video call (or normal phone call if you'd feel more comfortable being off camera). They are very relaxed. I will be in my own home, a little cottage in the countryside, probably wrapped in a cosy blanket at my desk. Please feel free to come as you are, whether that's on your sofa or in your PJs! Bring a cup of tea, fidget toys, your cat. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Question 4

Do you coach clients outside of the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I work online and accept clients globally, including from Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia.When you book an appointment, the booking system will show an option to view your timezone and mine, so just double check this is correct when making your selection.
If you can't find a suitable slot, please contact me and we can arrange a time that works for us both.

Question 5

Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. Obtaining official diagnosis can be a lengthy and difficult process, which not everyone wants to, or can, pursue. So whether you're officially diagnosed, self diagnosed or simply suspect you could be neurodivergent, I can help.

Question 6

Can you assess and diagnose me with autism or ADHD?

Accepted Answer

No. I don't provide formal autism/ADHD assessments or diagnoses. Coaching is not a substitute for clinical diagnosis but can be a valuable source of support, understanding and practical strategies, whether you're formally diagnosed or not.However, I can administer screening questionnaires, such as the AQ-10, CAT-Q and ASRS-5. These questionnaires can help identify traits associated with autism or ADHD, which may provide you some clarity on whether to approach your GP, or private assessment provider, for a formal diagnosis. If you do decide you would like to seek a diagnosis, I can also support you in navigating the referral and assessment process - for example, helping you organise information about your experiences, prepare for conversations with your GP or assessment provider, and think about what you'd like to communicate.

Question 7

Are sessions online?

Accepted Answer

Yes, my sessions are held via video or phone call, allowing you to join wherever you feel most comfortable.

Question 8

Are you trauma-informed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I myself have CPTSD and have spent almost a decade in trauma therapy, so I'm acutely aware of just how much trauma impacts the self, the nervous system and neurodivergence.I recognise how frequently trauma and neurodivergence intersect, particularly for autistic and ADHD individuals who may have experienced repeated misunderstanding, masking, bullying and chronic stress.I have particular interest in supporting young people who are experiencing estrangement and navigating life without a support net.While I am not a therapist and do not provide trauma therapy, I always work in a way that understands and prioritises safety, collaboration, autonomy, and choice. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and my focus is on helping you develop practical strategies while recognising and respecting the role trauma may play in your experiences.

Question 9

Do you only work with women?

Accepted Answer

No. While I have a particular interest in supporting late/self-diagnosed women and AFAB clients, my coaching is open to all adults.I welcome people of all genders, sexualities and identities, my specialism simply reflects the area I'm particularly passionate about. It doesn't mean you need to be a woman to work with me.

Question 10

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Being queer myself, I'm proud to offer a LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space. I know how important it is to feel safe, understood and accepted when accessing support. I welcome clients of all sexualities, gender identities and expressions.

Question 11

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, coaching is not therapy.Together, we'll explore practical strategies, build systems that work for your neurodivergent brain, and work towards the goals that matter most to you. This might include areas such as executive functioning, managing overwhelm, emotional regulation, self-understanding, confidence, or creating sustainable routines.Therapy, on the other hand, is designed to help people process and heal from mental health difficulties, trauma, or emotional distress. While our conversations may touch on past experiences where they're relevant, coaching does not involve trauma processing or psychological treatment.My approach is neurodiversity affirming and trauma informed, which means I always work with an awareness of how your experiences may have shaped you. Many people find that coaching and therapy complement each other well. Therapy can help you understand and process the past, while coaching focuses on building practical strategies and creating a life that works for you in the present and future.

Question 12

What is AuDHD?

Accepted Answer

AuDHD describes people who are both autistic and have ADHD. Having both can create a different set of symptoms, strengths and challenges than either diagnosis alone. People often feel like a walking juxtaposition, with symptoms of both conditions sometimes masking or exacerbating each other.

Question 13

Are you neurodivergent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am very open about my diagnosis as it's important for many people to work with someone who really gets it. I am diagnosed with autism, ADHD and CPTSD. I deeply understand the additional complexities of being a late diagnosed neurodivergent woman and the link between trauma and neurodivergence.

Question 14

Can we adapt the length of the sessions? I can't sit for 60 minutes!

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether you need sessions split in half or prefer longer sessions less frequently, I'm more than happy to accommodate.

Question 15

Do you work with children?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I only work with adults ages 18+

Question 16

Do you offer evening appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer a limited number of evening appointments weekly.
