Imagine two people leaving the same construction site at the end of the day. One has recently been promoted and is struggling to lead people
I’m Victoria English, a Neurodiversity Coach offering one-to-one support to adults who want to better understand how neurodivergence affects their everyday life, work and relationships.
As a neurodivergent adult myself, I understand that there is no single way to experience neurodivergence. Everyone has different strengths, challenges, environments and ways of working, which is why my approach is built around the individual rather than a fixed set of strategies.
I support people who may want help with areas such as organisation, communication, routines, confidence, boundaries, planning, workplace challenges and understanding their own needs more clearly.
You may already have a formal diagnosis, be exploring whether you could be neurodivergent or simply want practical support around the way you experience everyday life. Coaching is not a diagnostic service, but it can give you space to understand patterns, explore what works for you and identify strategies that feel realistic for your circumstances.
My coaching is collaborative and practical. I use approaches such as the GROW coaching model to help you identify what you want to focus on, understand your current situation, explore different options and decide what steps feel manageable.
I can also support adults who want to better understand neurodiversity within an important relationship, such as with a family member, partner or colleague. The focus remains on helping you understand your own experience, communication and responses rather than providing counselling or relationship therapy.
My aim is to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can better understand yourself, communicate your needs and develop practical approaches that work with the way you think rather than against it.
It gives me great pleasure to supply a character reference for Victoria. I have known Victoria as a friend and confidante for well over twenty years. Victoria is extremely personable with a kind, thoughtful and caring nature. Victoria exudes warmth and makes time for others putting them at ease. Victoria is very passionate about her work in mental health and is highly motivated to provide training and help others. Victoria’s naturally caring nature and non judgmental approach , would fit perfectly for a role as a mental health trainer.
Victoria is an honest, reliable, flexible, and adaptable trainer. She plays a pro-active role in seeking out opportunities for colleagues and partner organisations on a regular basis. Victoria has made it her mission to campaign for those with learning disabilities, who statistically are far more likely to suffer with a mental health problem. She is passionate about empowering people with a toolkit to look after their mental health using a package of neuroscience, positive psychology, and mindfulness. I have found Victoria to be very capable of dealing with colleagues at all levels within a variety of sectors in both a reasonable and calm manner. She is confident of her own abilities in discussing a wide variety of issues and in reaching resolutions which primarily serve the needs of the end user.
Having attended Victoria’s courses myself, I can confirm that she is not only very knowledgeable about mental health but a good tutor explaining the content in a manner which is easy to understand and retain. Victoria is also very passionate about her contribution to reducing the impact of poor mental health on our communities.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Victoria as a mental health trainer.
Yes. Your sessions are treated as confidential and our coaches and counsellors are expected to follow appropriate professional confidentiality standards.
There may be limited circumstances where information needs to be shared, such as where there is a serious concern about safety or where disclosure is required by law. Your provider can explain their confidentiality arrangements at the start of your work together.
That’s completely okay. The relationship you have with your coach or counsellor matters, and sometimes the first person you speak to won’t feel like the right fit.
If that happens, let us know and we’ll help you explore another provider.
We keep pricing simple and transparent.
Every session will be different depending on whether you choose coaching or counselling and the provider you work with.
You can expect a confidential, non-judgemental space where you have time to talk openly about what is going on for you. A coach may focus more on goals, change and practical next steps, while counselling may give you space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in greater depth.
Your provider will work at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Sessions usually last 50–60 minutes and can be:
Coaching is generally more focused on where you are now, where you would like to get to and the changes you want to make. Counselling provides space to explore emotions, experiences and difficulties in greater depth.
There is no fixed script. Your sessions should develop around what you need and what you feel comfortable discussing.
