I am a Specialist Occupational Therapist and Neurodiversity Coach with over 20 years experience supporting autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults.
I offer online coaching across the UK, and where appropriate, a hybrid model at your workplace (Newcastle upon Tyne). Whether you're newly diagnosed, self-identifying, or navigating everyday challenges, I'll help you build self-understanding, executive function, and practical strategies that work for you.
Compassionate, individualised support
Resources for creating inclusive environments
Creating a safe space for neurodivergent individuals to build a sense of belonging
As we celebrate Occupational Therapy Week, it's a great time to highlight the vital role Occupational therapy plays in empowering neurodivergent adults, those who are autistic or have other neurological differences.
In the article, I explore how Occupational therapists, especially those of us working independently or as entrepreneurs, are in a unique position to lead the way when it comes to meaningful neurodiversity inclusion.
Reasonable adjustments ALL in one place.
Empowering everyone to have inclusive conversations and actions.

I provide online tailored support for adult individuals over 18 with diverse neurological profiles, including autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences. I also support people experiencing mental health difficulties.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. As an Occupational therapist I am interested in working with your challenges, identifying your strengths and supporting your ability to engage in activities of daily living and explore what is meaningful to you as an individual.
I focus on helping individuals enhance their daily living skills, manage anxiety, navigate social relationships, workplace or educational environments and manage associated sensory challenges, building strategies for greater independence. I will support you to identify your strengths and collaborate with you to achieve your goals.
Through a compassionate, client-centred approach, we can work together to create personalised interventions that empower you to live well and thrive in your home, daily life, educational institution or your work environment.
I am based online so you can access support from the comfort of your own home.
Let's work together to unlock your full potential!
