You might know that things are difficult, but not what would make them easier.
After a diagnosis
You understand a bit more more about yourself, but not what it means for work, home or the people around you.
Waiting for an assessment
You're on a waiting list and want to understand your experience now, not only once you have an answer.
Not sure about assessment
You recognise yourself as neurodivergent and you're not sure whether an assessment is right for you.
Many people tell me they feel confused and let down, especially after going through a long process only to be left with more questions than answers. If this sounds familiar, you're not the only one.
I was lucky. In 2022 when I started to struggle in my job, I was working with occupational psychologists, so I had a workplace needs assessment quickly. It helped me understand why some parts of my role were hard and others played to my strengths. It also gave me access to coaching, which was time to understand how I actually worked at my best and what could help me.
Most people I speak to don’t have that. They’re often expected to go through an assessment before they can get any support. I created this session for people who know they need support but don’t know what kind or where to find it.
This isn't therapy and it isn't a coaching programme. It's one 90-minute conversation about your experience, at your pace.
Many neurodivergent people are used to other people explaining their experience to them. I won't do that. This session starts with what you already know.
We look at what already helps, even a little. What feels hard. What you want or would like more of and what you want to avoid.
Then we look at what could come next. That might be finding support, changing something in everyday life, exploring further or giving yourself time. You decide.
You don't need to know where to start before you come. That's what the session is for.
After the session, I'll send you a short written summary of what came up in our conversation, in your words. It sets out what's working well, what isn't, what you'd like to happen and what you want to avoid, with practical next steps to consider.
The next steps come from what you said in the session, not from me telling you what to do. You can return to the summary whenever you need to and use it however suits you.

Written summary
Sent to you via email within one week of your session date.
In return, I'll ask for your honest feedback on the session and the written summary (this will be via an online form or voicenote in WhatsApp).
If you’ve been thinking about working with me, this session is also a way to find out what it’s like to talk with me before you decide anything. There’s no expectation of booking anything further.
If this sounds like you:
During this initial conversation, we’ll explore how this Where do I start? coaching conversation could support you. It’s a chance for us to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit for working together.
If you prefer to text chat or find it more accessible to communicate this way, feel free to send me a message on WhatsApp.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how Where do I start? could benefit you, please let me know.
