How I Work

Trauma‑Informed & Strengths Based:

A calm, collaborative approach designed with neurodivergent brains in mind.

Use of the ZEBRA Principle

I use the ZEBRA Principle throughout my work — a gentle, strengths‑based framework that helps us stay in the zone of safety, build on what’s already working, and create flexible, sustainable supports that fit your real life.

Safety first

We move at your pace. Breaks welcome. You choose the format that feels comfortable.

Low‑demand sessions

Simple language, optional agendas, and gentle guidance to reduce cognitive load.

You decide what matters most each session. No pressure, no performance, no judgement.

Strengths‑based

We build on what already works for you—small, achievable steps that fit your real life.

Practical scaffolds

Simple tools for executive function, energy, communication and boundaries that you can use immediately.

Ethical & boundaried

This is non‑clinical, ND‑affirming coaching. I don’t diagnose or treat.

Your questions, answered

Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?

No. Many clients are self‑identified or exploring. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from ND‑affirming coaching.

Is this therapy or medical advice?

No. This is non‑clinical coaching. I don’t diagnose or treat conditions. If therapy or medical input would help, I’ll signpost gently.

Do you work directly with young people?

I coach parents. With appropriate consent and when suitable, we can include short joint segments.

Do I need to already identify as ND?

No—many clients are exploring or unsure.

What if executive function gets in the way?

That’s expected. We design low‑demand routines, prompts and supports to help you stay on track without pressure.

What is your cancellation policy?

48 hours’ notice where possible. Life happens — we keep things human.

You don’t have to mask or explain here.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what you need — that’s completely okay.

We’ll take it one small, manageable step at a time.
