Meet your coach
About Laura
Coach, NHS clinician, and neurodivergent myself. I know what it is like to be handed an answer late in life and then left to work out the rest alone.

About Me
I am an NHS clinician and trainee health coach, and I have seen many adults receive a neurodivergent diagnosis and be left with questions like: What next? What does this mean? What do I do now? Frustratingly, there is little support out there for figuring out what comes after a diagnosis and how you can use it to shape your life, your work and your health.
If you were diagnosed as an adult, you might know that feeling. The relief of finally having an explanation, mixed with the confusion of not knowing what to do with it. Maybe you have spent years wondering why things felt harder than they seemed to for everyone else, or masking it so well that even you started to doubt yourself.
It was coaching, not the diagnosis, that changed my life
I have felt that gap myself. I was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD as an adult, and while the diagnosis helped me make some sense of my brain and be a bit more patient with myself, it was not the diagnosis that changed my life. It was coaching.
It helped me understand how my brain works, recognise that my diagnosis does not mean I have to always struggle, and see my own strengths. It gave me a kind of relief I had not expected.
What I do now
I am currently training as a neurodivergent coach, and through my own private practice I offer that same support to other adults diagnosed later in life. My aim is to help you move forward with your diagnosis and create a life that feels genuinely your own, one that works with your brain, not against it.
To go from feeling like something is wrong, to approaching yourself with compassion and patience. Gaining insight into how your brain works, and recognising your own strengths, not just the struggles.
Whether you are diagnosed or not, I am here to work alongside you to figure out what comes next.
