Online Coaching for Neurodivergent, Disabled & Chronically Ill Adults

Confidence, life transitions, identity and career direction — with coaching that understands both ambition and capacity.

Is this you?

You may be used to looking capable on the outside while privately feeling exhausted, stuck or unsure how much longer you can keep doing things the way you have been.

 

Perhaps you are navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, disability, chronic illness, pain, fatigue or fluctuating health alongside the ordinary demands of life — work, relationships, decisions, responsibilities and trying to work out what you want next.

 

You might be rebuilding confidence after burnout, a diagnosis or a change in health. You may be questioning your career, adjusting to a new stage of life, struggling with boundaries, masking, people-pleasing or constantly pushing yourself beyond what feels sustainable.

You may know what you want in theory, but find it harder to translate that into action when executive functioning, energy, self-doubt, fear of getting it wrong or other people’s expectations get in the way.

Or perhaps you are simply tired of measuring yourself against ways of living and working that were never designed with your brain, body or circumstances in mind.

You do not have to choose between accepting your needs and wanting more for yourself. Coaching can be a space to explore both.

Coaching that works with the whole of you

 

 

Coaching with me is not about pushing you harder, fixing you or trying to turn you into somebody else’s version of successful. It is a space to step back, make sense of what is happening and work out what you want to do next.

 

My approach is psychologically informed, neuro-affirming and capacity-aware. We can explore not only what you want to change, but also the patterns, beliefs, expectations and practical barriers that may be making change difficult.

 

Sometimes the work is about gaining clarity. Sometimes it is about making a decision, approaching something differently, finding a more sustainable way forward or finally acting on something you have been thinking about for a long time.

 

You do not have to separate your ambitions from the realities of your brain, body, health or circumstances.

The aim is not to make your life smaller. It is to help you move forward in a way that actually fits you.

Who I work with

I work with adults who want space to think, understand themselves more clearly and make meaningful changes in their lives.

I have particular experience working with neurodivergent, disabled and chronically ill people, but you do not need a diagnosis, disability or health condition to work with me.

 

My specialist experience informs how I coach; it does not define who coaching is for. What matters is that there is something you want to understand, change, build or move towards.

What could we work on?

Coaching is shaped around you, but some of the areas clients may bring include:

  • Confidence, self-belief and self-trust

  • Life transitions and adjusting to change

  • Career direction and deciding what comes next

  • Feeling stuck, overthinking and decision-making

  • Boundaries, assertiveness and people-pleasing

  • Burnout and overwhelm

  • Executive-function challenges

  • Identity and self-understanding

  • Late diagnosis or changes in health

  • Self-advocacy and communicating needs

  • Leadership confidence and professional development

  • Motivation and follow-through

  • Navigating fluctuating energy or capacity

  • Creating sustainable routines and ways of working

  • Building a life that feels more aligned with who you are

 

You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what the problem is. Sometimes “something isn't working anymore” is enough of a place to begin.

The Ambition & Capacity Method

A coaching approach for people who want meaningful change without ignoring the realities of real life.

Ambition is about what you want to move towards — more confidence, clearer direction, a career change, stronger boundaries, greater fulfilment, or simply a life that feels more like your own.

Capacity is about what you are actually working with — your time, energy, responsibilities, health, executive functioning, confidence, circumstances and current stage of life.

For some people, neurodivergence, disability or chronic illness are an important part of that picture. For others, capacity may be shaped by stress, caring responsibilities, burnout, uncertainty or simply having too much going on.

The Ambition & Capacity Method brings both sides together. We look at what matters to you and what will help you move towards it in a way that is realistic, sustainable and genuinely yours.

The aim is not to choose between ambition and wellbeing. It is to find a way for both to have a place.

How the method works

The method moves through five flexible stages. We do not have to work through them rigidly or in a straight line — where we begin and what we focus on depends on you.

 

Each stage helps us move from understanding what is happening now towards creating changes that feel realistic, meaningful and sustainable.

Why work with me?

Good coaching is not about giving you generic advice, telling you to think more positively or handing you another strategy that looks great on paper but falls apart in real life.

I bring together professional coaching, psychology and more than 15 years’ experience supporting adults through change, confidence, identity, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, burnout and emotional complexity.

My specialist experience means I understand that confidence, motivation, decision-making or feeling stuck do not exist in a vacuum. Your health, energy, executive functioning, identity, responsibilities, relationships and previous experiences can all shape what feels possible — and good coaching needs to take that context seriously.

At the same time, I will not assume that everything you are struggling with is because you are neurodivergent, disabled or chronically ill. Sometimes you are simply facing the same questions many people face: What do I want? Do I trust myself enough to do it? What needs to change? What comes next?

As an ICF-trained coach, I work collaboratively. I will ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns, challenge you when it is useful and help you explore possibilities that can be difficult to see when you are right in the middle of your own situation.

My psychotherapy background brings additional psychological depth, but coaching with me remains coaching. It is practical, forward-focused and centred on what you want to understand, change or move towards. If something emerges that would be better supported through therapy or another professional service, I will be open about that rather than trying to make coaching fit everything.

My specialist experience informs how I coach. It does not define you — and it does not limit who I can support.

The goal is for you to leave with greater clarity, stronger self-trust and a way forward that feels like yours.

You do not need to know exactly what kind of coaching you need before getting in touch.

If something on this page has made you think, “Yes — that’s the bit I want help with,” we can start there.

I offer a free 15-minute discovery call where you can tell me a little about what is happening, what you would like to be different and what you hope coaching might help you achieve.

It is also a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work and decide whether the fit feels right — with no pressure to book.
