Being neurodivergent can affect everyday life and work in different ways. You may find organisation, time management, focus, communication, routines, sensory environments or managing competing demands more difficult at certain times, while also having strengths and ways of thinking that are individual to you.
Neurodiversity coaching gives you one-to-one space to better understand how you work and explore practical strategies that fit your needs rather than expecting you to work in the same way as everyone else.
Our coaches can support areas such as executive functioning, organisation, planning, communication, confidence, boundaries, routines and navigating work or everyday life.
There is no one way to experience neurodivergence and no single strategy that works for everyone. Coaching is about understanding what works for you and developing approaches that feel realistic and sustainable.
Onward Shift Neurodiversity Coaching is available to people aged 18 and over. Coaching is not a diagnostic service, counselling, psychotherapy or medical treatment.
* Onward Shift counselling is available to people aged 18 and over.
Practical Strategies

Greater Self-Understanding

Better understanding yourself can make it easier to communicate what you need, set boundaries and advocate for yourself at work and in everyday life.

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.
