I’m a neuropositive coach and educator supporting young people and adults who think differently to better understand themselves, recognise their strengths and find practical ways forward.

I have more than 15 years’ experience across further and higher education and have worked with young people whose experiences of education haven’t always been straightforward. I now support young people navigating neurodivergence, school, study, overwhelm and the pressures around them, as well as parents when education isn’t working for their child.

My own path has also been unconventional. I left school at 13, later returned to education and completed a BA and MA before building my career in education. An adult ADHD diagnosis helped me understand many of my experiences from a kinder perspective and was an important part of my decision to become a coach.

I also coach neurodivergent adults around areas including overwhelm, executive functioning, confidence, work and life transitions, planning and self-understanding. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based and non-judgemental — finding approaches that fit the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit the system.
