Practical support for neurodivergent individuals, leaders and organisations
Whether you’re looking for one to one coaching, workplace advocacy, leadership development or practical support in navigating neurodiversity at work, Kate is here to help.
Kate’s approach recognises that neurodiversity is not something to be fixed. Instead, Kate work alongside individuals and organisations to understand different ways of thinking, remove barriers, and create environments where people can thrive.
Kate works with senior leaders, executives and professionals to help them understand, harness and thrive with neurodiversity. Whether supporting neurodivergent leaders or those leading diverse teams, her coaching focuses on building self awareness, confidence and practical strategies that enhance performance, communication and decision making. Combining evidence based coaching with a deep understanding of ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other forms of neurodivergence, Kate creates a confidential space where leaders can develop authentic leadership styles, overcome challenges and unlock their full potential. Her approach empowers individuals to lead with confidence while fostering inclusive, high performing workplaces where everyone can succeed.
Neurodivergent Coaching
Neurodiversity coaching for adults with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodivergent profiles.
Sessions are tailored to your goals and may include support with:
- Executive functioning and prioritisation
- Strategic thinking and decision making
- Managing workload and competing priorities
- Emotional regulation and resilience
- Communication and influencing skills
- Delegation and developing others
- Time and energy management
- Navigating organisational politics
- Imposter syndrome and confidence
- Perfectionism and overthinking
- Burnout prevention and sustainable performance
- Building authentic leadership
- Career progression and transitions
- Workplace adjustments and neuro-inclusive working practices
- The focus is never on changing who you are, but on helping you understand how you work best.
Kate doesn’t coach the diagnosis; she coaches the individual. By understanding how each person thinks, processes information and leads, she help them build strategies that play to their strengths, overcome barriers and lead with confidence and authenticity.
Coaching Case Studies
Advocacy and Workplace Representation
Alongside her coaching and consultancy work, Kate provides discreet advocacy and representation for neurodivergent employees navigating complex workplace situations, including disciplinary, grievance and capability processes. Working alongside individuals, employers and HR teams where appropriate, she helps ensure that neurodivergent voices are heard, workplace adjustments are properly considered, and processes are fair, informed and inclusive. Her calm, knowledgeable approach supports people through what can be some of the most challenging moments of their working lives, helping to achieve positive outcomes while promoting understanding and lasting organisational change.
Resources
Kate’s debut collection is a tale of self-discovery. Delving into her past to analyse and embrace her neurodivergencies. Sometimes heart-wrenching and difficult, sometimes glorious and life-affirming, always about acceptance.
As an aphantasic poet, it is about much more than creating a visual image for Kate. Her poetry lies in the sounds, tastes and touch that she experiences; the emotions that come from all senses. With sublime natural lyricism, and joy in wordplay, rhyme and alliteration, her slam poetry comes to life on the page. Sitting alongside beautiful form and free verse poetry, it is a marriage of the soul.
Kate’s poetry will have you looking inward, while she holds your hand, showing you how to accept yourself to ultimately become Un/Broken.
In 2023 Kate completed the National Poetry Writing Month Challenge of writing a poem a day in April. She created her own writing prompts. These prompts are reproduced here with her own poetry as examples. You are given spaces to create your own poetry in response to these prompts. Kate also offers her thoughts and insights on her own Neurodiversity and different way of thinking.
