Frequently Asked Questions
The Harvard Health Publishing website states that ‘the word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities’.
Each of us exists within the neurodiversity spectrum. Individuals can either be neurotypical, who process information in a more standard way and are often considered ‘normal’, or neurodivergent, who think outside typical experiences and possess unique perspectives.
I work with a wide range of clients, including:
-
Neurotypical individuals facing situations such as feeling temporarily overwhelmed, making significant decisions or navigating major life transitions.
-
Individuals with or without diagnoses of ADHD, autism and diverse needs such as cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and other rare conditions.
-
Parents of young and adult children with the above conditions.
-
Managers of organisations that support individuals with these conditions.
-
Organisations focused on inclusion and accessibility.
-
Tertiary institutions promoting workplace inclusion.
-
Parent advocacy organisations.

Coaching focuses on general personal and professional development, utilising standardised techniques that cater to a wide range of clients.
