The Role of Occupational Therapy in Neurodivergent Coaching
More Than Coaching What makes neurodivergent coaching different? My background as an occupational therapist adds a unique, evidence-based perspective to every session.
The OT Perspective Occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals participate in meaningful daily activities. In coaching, this means:
Supporting sensory regulation
Developing functional routines
Building independence in daily life
Understanding how your central nervous system responds to stressors and triggers
How Coaching and OT Overlap Through coaching, I incorporate:
Sensory strategies to manage overwhelm
Step-by-step approaches to building habits
Customised plans tailored to your strengths and needs
Practical reflections to understand the ‘why’ behind your behaviors and responses
Real-Life Example Emily, a professional with ADHD, experienced frequent burnout due to sensory overload at work. By exploring how her environment affected her nervous system, we implemented strategies like noise-cancelling headphones and scheduled sensory breaks. She now feels more in control of her workload and her energy.
Why This Matters With an OT-led approach, coaching goes beyond surface-level solutions to create lasting change that fits seamlessly into your life. You’ll leave sessions equipped with practical tasks and deeper insights to help you thrive.
