Executive Coaching for Neurodivergent Minds

You don't need to change who you are. You need to find what works for you.

Executive coaching for self-aware neurodivergent adults, including people with ADHD and AuDHD, who want space to understand themselves, navigate challenges and make their own decisions.

Perhaps you're capable, but exhausted from constantly trying to keep up.

You might be:

  • struggling to prioritise when everything feels important

  • finding it difficult to get started or finish things

  • overwhelmed by competing demands

  • full of ideas but struggling to turn them into action

  • navigating a career or role change

  • questioning what you actually want next

  • approaching retirement and wondering what comes afterwards

  • experiencing an empty nest or relationship change

  • feeling stuck or uncertain about a decision

  • beginning to understand how neurodivergence has shaped your experiences

  • tired of adapting yourself to fit expectations that don't feel designed for you

You may have spent years finding ways to compensate, mask or simply push through.

Coaching gives you space to stop doing that for a moment.

A different kind of executive coaching

Traditional executive coaching can sometimes focus heavily on performance:

Do more. Achieve more. Optimise. Improve.

My approach is different.

I work non-directively, which means I don't arrive with a predetermined solution or tell you what you should do.

Instead, we explore what's happening for you.

We look at what matters.

We notice patterns.

We explore possibilities.

And you decide where you want to go next.

You remain the expert in your own life.

What might we explore?

Clarity & decision-making

When everything feels important, it can be difficult to know where to start. Coaching can give you space to step back and work out what actually matters.

Executive functioning

Explore approaches to planning, prioritising, organisation, motivation and getting things started or finished.

Work & career

Navigate career decisions, role changes, workplace challenges or questions about what you want next.

Leadership & communication

Develop an authentic leadership style and explore ways of communicating that feel natural rather than performative.

Confidence & self-understanding

Understand your patterns, recognise your strengths and develop greater awareness of what you need to thrive.

Overwhelm & sustainable performance

Explore energy, boundaries, expectations and ways of working that support you rather than continually draining you.

What coaching isn't

It isn't about fixing you.

It isn't about forcing you into somebody else's productivity system.

It isn't about telling you what you should do.

And it isn't about turning you into a more "acceptable" version of yourself.

It's about understanding yourself and finding what works for you.

How we will work

Sessions are conversational, curious and led by what matters to you.

You don't need to arrive with a perfect goal.

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong.

And you certainly don't need to have a five-year plan.

Sometimes the most useful place to start is simply:

“Something isn't working. I want to understand why.”

Neurodivergent workplace coaching

If you're neurodivergent and experiencing challenges at work, Access to Work may be able to fund support tailored to your individual needs.

The UK Government's Access to Work scheme provides practical and financial support for eligible people with a disability or health condition to help them start, stay in or progress in work. ADHD and autism are among the conditions specifically included within the Government's eligibility guidance (https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work).

  • "Your sessions opened up my mind to making changes in my day to day life which can help me move forward with certain challenges I have which have prevented me from carrying out and sticking to tasks I see as important to me. You have made me see that by breaking down how I intend to carry out tasks then I can move away from what stops me from doing things I can use this method/skill in my everyday life and I realise it is up to me to bring about the act and choice of moving away from procrastination and overthinking. I am in charge of my life. I want to thank you for the sessions and time you have given me and wish you all the best in your coaching journey. Thank you."

  • "Coaching with Sam has been an exceptional experience, shes completely non-judgemental and took the time to understand my background and personal context. I found the sessions gave me space to pause and consider the goals and challenges that I wanted to address. Sam's non-directive approach meant that I didn't feel pressured and the benefot reached beyond the sessions - Iwas able to adopt new perspectives that led to meaningful and sustainable steps towards the changes I want to make."
