Frequently Asked Questions


What is coaching?

Coaching is a supportive, collaborative process that builds self-awareness, develops practical strategies, and helps you navigate challenges. Unlike therapy or traditional tutoring, it is a structured partnership focused on helping you better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Who is coaching for?

I work with neurodivergent adults, young people and families. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me — you may be diagnosed, awaiting assessment, self-identify as neurodivergent, or simply be exploring whether coaching could help.

Do I need a formal diagnosis?

Not at all. Many clients come to coaching while exploring a diagnosis or simply because they want support that is tailored to the way they think and learn. I respect each person’s unique experiences and believe that practical solutions often emerge through greater understanding and shared insight.

Do you work with Under 18s?

Yes. I work with young people who may be struggling with school, neurodivergence or the expectations around them. How we work will depend on their age, circumstances and what they need, and we'll discuss parental involvement, confidentiality and safeguarding before coaching begins.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy often focuses on mental health and emotional healing, helping people make sense of past experiences. Coaching is generally more future-focused, practical and goal-oriented. Both can be valuable, but coaching centres on building awareness and taking action in ways that align with your strengths and priorities.

What happens in a coaching session?

Each session provides a safe, non-judgemental space where we explore what is working, what feels challenging and what matters most to you. Together, we identify patterns, develop practical strategies and create approaches that support meaningful and sustainable change.

How much does coaching cost?

One-to-one coaching is £75 for a 50-minute session for adults aged 18 and over, and £60 for young people under 18.

I also keep a limited number of lower-cost spaces available for those who might otherwise find the cost of coaching a barrier. If you’re unsure what would be right for you, we can talk through the options during a free Hello Call.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals and circumstances. Some people benefit from a small number of sessions focused on a specific issue, while others choose longer-term coaching to support deeper reflection and change.

We can discuss what feels most appropriate during your free Hello Call.

Do you offer a free introductory call?

Yes. I offer a complimentary Hello Call where we can discuss what you are looking for, answer any questions and explore whether coaching feels like the right fit.

Do you support parents too?

Yes. I work with adults, including parents, who may be seeking ways to better understand themselves and support their children. Coaching can help develop practical and sustainable strategies for family life, education and wellbeing.

Can you help with education or work-related issues?

Absolutely. My background in education and coaching enables me to support clients with challenges related to school, university, returning to study, career development and workplace confidence. I can also advise on support options such as Access to Work.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. What you share in coaching remains confidential unless there is a legal or safeguarding obligation to act. Protecting your privacy and building trust are central to the coaching relationship.

How do I get started?
