What our clients say

Alex really made the topic come alive and her experience gave me light bulb moments of how neurodiverse people’s brains work and how to understand and help meet their needs. Really great, thank you.

Primary Care, NHS

'Working with autistic individuals' training

My daughter now has a clear path to obtain her first job. She is more confident, has a greater understanding of the different considerations required, and useful tools that can be developed as needed. We are so pleased this service is running, and would recommend it to others with autism.

Parent of 18-year-old coaching client

I felt affirmed by our meeting and have a sense of my authentic self stepping out of the shadows, where for too long I have been lurking in self doubt and confusion with a debilitating sense of failure and ‘wrongness’.

I feel more hopeful about being able to live authentically from now on, and achieve my potential.

Neurodiversity Profile Mapping client

I enjoyed the whole talk! It was very engaging and easily the most enjoyable talk I’ve attended in a long time. Alex is very personable, friendly and informative and is an excellent speaker. Alex presented neurodivergence and autism in such a positive way, it was really refreshing and thought-provoking.
