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.
