Access to Work Coaching for Neurodivergent Adults

*Unfortunately, I am fully booked currently. But I expect to have a slot open up in approx July/Aug.

When this one slot opens for new clients: Due to the high number of clients I am currently supporting on my lower-rate sliding scale tiers (A&B), this specific opening must be filled by a client who is closer to Tier D.

What this means for you:

• For Access to Work (ATW) Clients:
  If your ATW approval covers less than £100/ph you can self-fund the difference (a "top-up").

  • Why? To maintain a sustainable mix of funding sources so I can continue offering low-cost spots to others who need them.

  • If you have an ATW rate that fits this tier (or higher), or if you will self-fund a top-up. Please let me know when you contact me.

The Goal:
I operate an honour system based on trust and accessibility. However, like any business, my practice needs a balanced mix of clients to remain viable long-term. Right now, I need one client at at least£100 to support the lower-rate slots I currently hold for others.

If you are unable to meet this requirement for this specific slot but would still like support, please get in touch anywayI may have other availability coming up, or I can add you to my waiting list for future openings.

Access to Work (AtW) is a UK government scheme that helps remove barriers to work for disabled and neurodivergent people. If you're autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise neurodivergent, you may be eligible for funded coaching support to help you thrive at work.

As a neurodivergent Occupational Therapist, I offer Access to Work coaching for autistic and ADHD adults across the UK. My remote coaching sessions support clients with executive functioning challenges, workplace communication, and confidence (and so much more). I help you make the most of your Access to Work grant, and work together on strategies that are tailored, affirming, and effective.

This support is sometimes listed in access-to-works report as ADHD coaching, neurodivergence coaching, support worker, support strategy coaching (and more names!- if you're unsure email me)

As a multiply neurodivergent Occupational Therapist, I understand the spiky profiles, demand avoidance, executive functioning challenges, and sensory needs that can affect your work life.

My support is person-centred and designed with you in mind. Support might include:

• Building confidence & self-advocacy at work

• Executive functioning support (planning, transitions, organisation)

• Managing sensory overload or burnout

• Understanding your sensory profile & tools to support you

• Burnout & energy management

• Creating weekly/monthly etc plans to support you

• Creating sustainable routines or transitions

• Setting goals and accountability-partnering 

• Identifying workplace adjustments

• Support for demand avoidance

• Unmasking safely

• Anything at home which is impacting you at work e.g sleep, emotions & much more

Yes! If you’re eligible for Access to Work, the government will usually cover the cost of around 12 coaching sessions (sometimes more). You don’t need a formal diagnosis, and it’s free to apply. If your grant does not cover my minimum fee there may be an option to self-fund a small top-up.

My ATW coaching fees are different from self-funded sessions to cover the additional workload involved.

I also provide guidance on applying for Access to Work. I know forms can be overwhelming; please enquire for pricing options.

• Autistic adults (diagnosed or self-identifying)

• ADHDers and AuDHDers (diagnosed or self-identifying)

• People with mental health conditions, other types of neurodivergence e.g dyslexia, dyspraxia, tourettes's 

• Employees, freelancers, self-employment or job seekers

• UK-based

✔️ Lived experience – I’m neurodivergent & have chronic pain, chronic fatigue , chronic illness. Iam disabled myself so I know what it’s like!
✔️ Holistic support – combining coaching with OT 

 ✔️ I am HCPC registered , ensuring I keep to professional standards and code of conduct, to protect you
✔️ No judgment – kind, and affirming space
✔️ Flexible sessions – online and designed around your needs e.g fortnightly, monthly, ad-hoc 
✔️ Easy admin – invoices and scheduling handled clearly 1x a month & I can support you with this
