Why not book a Discovery call?
This is a no-commitment conversation to help you decide whether you want to work with me, what that might look like and which programme is right for you.
For me, it is an opportunity to understand where you are right now, and where you would like to get to through coaching.
Who I work with
I work with neurodivergent adults and young people (16+) who identify, whether formally diagnosed or not, as neurodivergent.
I also work with families, carers, and employers who want to develop their understanding, support, and advocacy for the neurodivergent people they care for or work with.
Testimonials
Mark (CEO)
“From the very first session, Leigh “got it” – her understanding felt immediate and intuitive.
Working with Leigh has been really valuable. Our sessions gave me space to explore complex business-related challenges, and her coaching enabled me to look at these issues from a new perspective.
Her approach helped me reframe situations, gain clarity, and improve my focus and productivity. I was also able to resolve conflicts at work with greater confidence.
I’ll definitely be booking more sessions.
Thank you, Leigh!“
Sarah (Nutritional Therapist)
“I’ve really enjoyed working with Leigh. Her calm, friendly, and non-judgmental style helped me make real progress on an important health goal without letting work or family slide.
I’ve felt more motivated to stick to positive habits, and thanks to one of our ideas, I even had a lovely, relaxed Saturday.
Highly recommended.
I will be checking in with Leigh again in 6 months”
Andrew (Data Creative)
“Leigh’s coaching transformed my professional journey. She helped me understand my real self and create a powerful ‘considerations document’ for employers.
Through her guidance, I now confidently pursue roles that align with my unique working style – balancing big-picture thinking with detailed exploration and autonomous problem-solving.
Leigh’s support has equipped me to communicate my needs effectively and create environments where I truly thrive.”
I share my own experience in my book
The Undercover Autistic: Navigating your Diagnosis
Whether you self-identify as neurodivergent or have a formal diagnosis, coming to this realisation can generate a lot of questions and new challenges. I certainly had a lot of questions when I was diagnosed in my early 40s. Unfortunately, like many, I was left to pretty much get on with it on my own.
So, I know what it’s like to have lived one life pre-diagnosis and be suddenly confronted with a whole new perspective on that life. I understand the effort required to carve out a new path and the time and energy involved in reconnecting with one’s personal history.
In this book, I examine the identity transition journey from euphoric highs to crashing lows and everything in between.
Getting to the point of a diagnosis is a mammoth journey; moving past diagnosis is whole other story. My purpose with the book is two-fold:
- To shine a light on the implications of this journey, one which we often navigate almost entirely unsupported
- To share the ideas, strategies, and models I discovered during my own journey. It took me four years to reconnect with myself, a transition which could have been so much less painful had I known even a fraction of what is in the book
In a culture where Autism is still poorly understood, and timely, post-diagnostic support often limited and/or expensive, my hope is this book can form a constructive support for you on your onward journey.
Coaching vs surfing the Internet
When you first discover the possibility you might be neurodivergent, you may turn to the Internet to learn more.
The problem with the Internet is that it is not only time-consuming to research, but the content can be of variable quality – let’s face it, sometimes the Internet is an upsetting and ill-informed place:
- You will come across people, indeed entire organisations, who believe neurodivergent people need to be ‘cured’
- You will come across people peddling miracle supplements with no clinical proof of efficacy
- You will also come across posts that anger or trigger you
By contrast, I believe our neurodivergent brains are simply different, and my coaching supports you as you embrace this and move forward.
Neuro-inclusive coaching, on the other hand, is a flexible, strengths-based approach that celebrates the diversity of human minds, offering an affirming space where you are free to unmask, honour your lived experience, and pursue your goals in a way that respects your unique rhythms, needs, and ways of being.
Things I can help with
- Life feels overwhelming or exhausting a lot of the time, and you want to improve your wellbeing
- You find socialising exhausting as you push yourself to carry on, and you want to be able to manage this without having to cancel or change plans
- Your desire to fit in hinders your ability to make decisions that prioritise your wellbeing
- The diagnostic process has left you feeling negatively about this new label, and you want to reframe it by understanding yourself in the context of your strengths, not just your challenges
- Now you’re diagnosed, people are telling you to ‘drop the mask’, that it is ‘bad for you’, but you don’t know what the real you is, and it doesn’t yet feel safe to ‘unmask’
- You’ve got a diagnosis, and while you know it is correct, you feel invalidated by others and want to gain clarity on what neurodivergence means for you
- Your workplace feels overwhelming, and this is stopping you from participating in the way you want to
- You want to have reliable strategies which work for you, even in those moments when you feel most challenged
- You have felt overloaded by your senses for as long as you can remember and want to manage overwhelm and boundaries
- You have lots of ideas and plans and want support to begin executing them
- Family members or colleagues are having difficulty understanding your diagnosis, and you want to encourage them to support you more effectively
Still not sure?
You’ve been diagnosed or self-identify as neurodivergent. Do any of the following feel familiar?
- While it feels a relief to know, now you want to move forward with a fresh and positive perspective
- You want to know what you can proactively do to better support yourself in your workplace
- You are adjusting to life away from your childhood home (perhaps going to University) and recognise that new strategies and systems could help you
Is someone you know identifying as neurodivergent?
- Your co-worker has been recently diagnosed as neurodivergent, and you’re wondering how you can best support them in the workplace
- You have neurodivergent people in your family, and life sometimes feels out of control, reactive and stressful. You want ways to bring the family together
- Your child has recently received a diagnosis. You are feeling overwhelmed by what this might mean for them now and in the future, and you want to be able to support them and yourself, as effectively as possible
If any of these feel familiar, you are in the right place
