written coaching service for neurodivergent folk
Hiya!
I'm Kit. I have spent many years working in the tech industry, coaching autistic and ADHD people through changes at work and home.
I am VERY interested in helping autistic and ADHD folk become more visible (eek) and in opening up access to the opportunities we deserve. I am not interested in teaching people how to pass for neurotypical to get ahead (been there, done that - it doesn't end well).

No matter where you're at, I'll meet you there.

Written Coaching Service
​Having worked with many autistic/ADHD clients, one of the biggest struggles (for both me and them) was mustering the energy to have a deep, face-to-face conversation every week. I switched over to a written coaching service - more time to process means more likelihood of getting to the core of each challenge.
​
In summary, written coaching is for you if:
​
-
You feel more comfortable writing rather than speaking
-
You don't mind a time gap between responses
-
You find writing helps to process your thoughts and feelings
​
Misspelt words and wonky grammar are very welcome.​

How coaching works
Coaching is quite mysterious until you have a session or two. The main point of having a coach is to have a partner who can help bring a fresh perspective to old problems, or a sounding board to process big things with. Coaching is usually future-focused. Things from the past are usually better covered in therapy (but may come up from time to time in coaching)
​
Every coach has their own style, but in general, good practice will always follow these principles:
​
-
You are in control of the conversation. I ask questions that I feel curious about, but you are welcome to pass on answering.
-
It's about you, not me. I will ask questions about your thought processes, previous experiences, and hopes to better understand you and your needs.
-
You can take a break at any time (especially easy with written coaching). ​
The platform is up to you - some clients prefer long-form emails, whereas others like to chat informally on Telegram.
