Understanding, reassuring and supporting neurodivergent people & parents of neurodivergent children
Hi! I’m Emma, and I’m an accredited health and life coach.
I work with neurodivergent adults and parents of neurodivergent children to help them achieve what they want in their lives and feel confident and happy.
When I found out about my own neurodivergence aged 35, everything changed for me. I had just come through a battle with post natal depression and ended my marriage… I was on a mission to figure out what I wanted in life and how to be the best role model for my son.
ADHD and ASD gave me an answer to a lot of the struggles I’d faced throughout my life, and I set out to spread awareness and help others who are on the same journey. My ultimate goal is to ensure that future generations of neurodivergent children don’t have to go through what we did.
I am an accredited Health and Life Coach (BHC/BLC) and am working towards obtaining my ACC credentials with the ICF.
How I can help
Parents of neurodivergent children
I help parents of neurodivergent children to:
- Acknowledge and accept that they are great parents and that they’re not failing
- Be kind, patient and respectful of themselves
- Give themselves permission to make time for their own needs
- Learn to communicate with their children and empower them to be their best selves
- As well as offering coaching I run a free Facebook support group for parents, here
Neurodivergent adults
I help neurodivergent adults to:
- Accept their neurodiversity and learn techniques to manage the traits they struggle with
- Learn to be proud of who they are
- Identify their strengths and what brings them joy
- Create a plan for moving forward and follow through with it
- As well as offering coaching I have a Facebook membership to help neurodivergent adults improve their relationship with food and their health; This is Not a Diet
I offer 1:1 coaching packages where I provide a fully bespoke service to help you understand and accept your (or your child’s) neurodiverge. We work together to develop coping strategies which will change the way that you speak to yourself, and the way that you approach issues as they arise.
Priced at £125 per session, or £695 for a 6 session block.

Exploring neurodivergence
Accepting that you may be neurodivergent can be confusing and overwhelming, and it’s often a very challenging thing to go through and accept about yourself.
Having been through the journey myself, I wanted to create some options for people in that situation to get some support and reassurance that they are on the right lines and it is ok to go and get help or ask for a diagnosis if you want one.
You are never a burden, your health is just as important as the next person’s and you deserve this space… but it can be very difficult to believe that.
Are you struggling to accept your own neurodivergence, or to know how to best support your neurodivergent child?

Deep Dive Sessions into your child's or your neurodivergence
Coaching doesn’t always have to mean meeting someone regularly for months on end.
I offer a stand alone 90-minute or 2-hour coaching session for people who know that they (or their child) are neurodivergent, but are unsure how to manage their traits so that they can function at their best in day to day life.
These sessions can help you understand the behaviours caused by ADHD and/or Autism, how they differ from neurotypical behaviour and how to start creating some coping strategies.
Navigating Neurodivergence Coaching Programme
My programme is designed for people trying to understand and accept their potential (or late diagnosed) ADHD and/or Autism, and achieve their goals in life despite the struggles that neurodivergent people often face.
Navigating Neurodivergence supports you in taking the knowledge that you are neurodivergent and running with it.
It will help you accept that who you are and how your brain works is ok and will teach you how to make the most of your neurodivergence, and use it to propel you forward to where you want to be in life.
What my clients say about me
“I found Emma on social media and your content is so relatable, and you really unapologetically bring yourself to your content without being fake – you have good days and bad days just like everyone. This made you seem so approachable for me. I knew that you could help me without judging me.”
– Amanda
“Emma spent some really valuable time with me after we met at a networking meeting. She helped me to get a lot of clarity around the steps I wanted to take to understand my brain better, and I was able to plan what I wanted to do next with her help and input. Emma is a kind and caring coach, and a great listener. She really knows her stuff and is well worth consulting.”
