Hi, I’m Linda…

I spent years working in education before I understood why certain things had always been so hard for me. My late diagnosis as an Autistic ADHDer helped me understand that my brain works differently. Naturally, what I need to function and thrive will be different too.

I began working with a coach while awaiting formal diagnosis, and it changed everything. I started to make real, meaningful changes in my day to day life. I started to pour my energy into creating a life that worked for me. I developed skills in self-compassion and self-acceptance, discovering ways to support myself and ask for what I needed.

The impact of coaching was profound. My nervous system settled for what felt like the first time. I met a calmer, more resourced, hopeful and happier version of myself. I learned that supporting myself well is how I succeed, and my aspirations soared.

My experience of coaching started me on a journey to help others experience the same benefits. To create a life that fits.

A bit more about me…

I'm also a parent of a neurodivergent teenager, and someone who has spent almost two decades working alongside neurodivergent young people, students and families, first as a teacher, then as a specialist autism, ADHD & study skills mentor and autism-friendly campus coordinator in higher education. I’ve supported hundreds of neurodivergent people to learn how to do life differently, and thrive.

I’m also a veteran home educator, experienced learning facilitator, operating across settings as varied as a university, an autism charity, an ADHD coach training organisation, a democratic Sudbury school, and an international school. As you might expect, I encountered many neurodivergent teachers and colleagues along the way too.

I know what it's like to be capable and struggling at the same time, and to have nobody around you quite understand the gap. I know what it costs to keep masking, keep pushing, keep trying to fit. And I know what shifts when someone finally has the right support, when they have language for their experience, and stop trying to fix something that was never actually broken.

This is the work that I do.
