What is Neurodivergent Coaching?
A Starting Point for Success
A diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, or another form of neurodivergence often brings clarity—but it can also leave you wondering, “What’s next?” Neurodivergent coaching bridges the gap between understanding your unique brain and thriving in daily life. It’s about giving you the tools, strategies, and confidence to navigate challenges and achieve your goals.
What is Neurodivergence? Neurodivergence refers to differences in how the brain functions, often impacting areas like:
Executive functioning (planning, organising, and time management)
Emotional regulation (managing feelings and responses to triggers)
Sensory processing (responding to stimuli like light, sound, or touch)
These challenges can make daily routines, work, or relationships feel overwhelming. But with the right support, they’re entirely manageable.
How Does Coaching Help? Neurodivergent coaching is a practical, skill-based approach tailored to your unique needs. Here’s what it looks like:
Understanding Your Brain and Body: Learn how your neurodivergent brain works and why your central nervous system responds the way it does.
Building Skills: Develop strategies to manage time, stay organised, and reduce overwhelm.
Creating Routines: Establish personalised systems that work with your natural rhythms.
Gaining Insights: Reflect on practical tasks to gain functional insights into your responses and patterns.
As an occupational therapist, I bring an evidence-based perspective to coaching. We focus on real-world solutions to real-world challenges, ensuring every strategy fits your lifestyle.
Real-World Example Take Sarah, for instance, a young adult with ADHD who struggled to manage her work deadlines. Through coaching, she implemented visual schedules and task chunking—breaking her work into smaller, more achievable steps. By understanding how her brain processed tasks and recognising the stress signals from her nervous system, she could reframe her approach. Today, she meets deadlines with less stress and more confidence.
