Laura Stanton, neurodivergence coach

Meet your coach, Laura

You're still you. So why does everything feel so different?

I support neurodivergent women and non-binary people navigating perimenopause and menopause to understand their changing brains and bodies, reconnect with themselves and find ways to feel more confident, balanced and in control.

You might be ADHD, autistic, dyslexic or otherwise neurodivergent. Perhaps you've always understood your brain works a little differently, or maybe you're only just beginning to question whether you might be neurodivergent.

As hormonal changes begin to affect how you think, feel and manage everyday life, existing traits can become more pronounced. You might experience increased brain fog, struggle to find the right words, feel less patient or find that the strategies you've always relied on aren't working quite as well.

I understand how unsettling this can feel because I've experienced it myself.

During perimenopause, I noticed changes in my sleep, concentration, motivation and patience. Brain fog became a real challenge. I'd go to find a pen to write down an idea, only to forget the idea before I found one. I'd collect a letter from the letterbox, walk a few metres back into the house and somehow lose the letter along the way!

I also noticed increased word-finding difficulties alongside my dyslexia. Having wondered about ADHD for some time, I eventually sought a diagnosis after recognising just how much I was struggling. Receiving my diagnosis helped me understand another important part of myself and how my existing neurodivergent traits and hormonal changes might be interacting.

My professional background includes 10 years working in the NHS as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner. I'm a qualified Health Coach and am currently undertaking an Advanced Certificate in Neurodiversity Coaching.

I bring together my clinical experience, coaching training and lived experience to support women and non-binary people through this stage of life.

I believe every woman's experience is unique. Our experiences won't necessarily be the same, but they can rhyme. Whatever your experience looks like, you deserve to be listened to, understood and supported without judgement.

You don't need to fix yourself. You deserve to understand yourself.
