Neurodiversity coaching and training.
We believe neurodiversity is potential to be understood, supported and empowered. Combining professional expertise with lived experience, we help organisations move from awareness to action, developing practical systems and support that enable neurodivergent colleagues to do their best work. We also work directly with individuals who have been granted Access to Work support, helping them through tailored coaching and workplace strategies.
Assessments, coaching and training
ADHD assessments
Professional ADHD and neurodivergent assessments using the ACE+ v2.0 Clinical Interview Tool, a structured, evidence-based framework grounded in the DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic criteria, identifying what reasonable adjustments and workplace accommodations will help someone perform at their best.
An assessment is not a clinical diagnosis. It gives a clear picture of someone’s strengths and challenges at work, and can guide or signpost them towards an official clinical diagnosis if they decide to seek one.
- Conducted by a qualified ACE+ v2.0 practitioner, online or in person
- Includes recommendations for workplace adjustments
- Suitable for HR teams, Access to Work referrals and Occupational Health reviews
1:1 coaching

- Managing overwhelm and task initiation
- Building systems for organisation and follow-through
- Creating accountability and realistic routines
