If you're exploring coaching, especially from a neurodivergent perspective, you might have some unique questions about how coaching can accommodate and celebrate your neurodivergence. This guide is designed to help clarify how coaching can be tailored to support neurodivergent individuals, ensuring that services are inclusive and respectful of all cognitive styles. It’s crucial to find a coach who can fully support you and center your goals, especially in ways that honor your neurodivergence.
What is Neurodivergent-Centered Coaching?
Neurodivergent-centered coaching is a collaborative journey tailored to the unique way your brain works. As the navigator of this journey, you set the direction and pace, with your coach serving as a supportive guide. Your coach will assist you in gaining new insights and personal growth, adapting their techniques to match your neurodivergence. This includes asking thought-provoking questions, practicing deep listening, and offering unbiased observations without imposing their own agenda. Your coach will seek your permission before sharing personal experiences or advice, ensuring that the guidance provided is welcome and appropriate for you.
How is Coaching Adapted for Neurodivergence?
Coaching sessions are scheduled at times that best fit your routine and needs, recognizing the importance of flexibility for neurodivergent individuals. You lead in determining the focus of each session, with your coach there to support you in addressing the growth areas most relevant to achieving your desired outcomes. Confidentiality is paramount, providing you a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings openly. The coaching environment is judgment-free, and your privacy is strictly protected.

My coaching approach places you firmly in control, providing a supportive space for you to navigate your inner landscape. This space is especially crafted to be neurodivergent-friendly, acknowledging the diverse ways in which individuals process and engage with the world.

What Outcomes Can You Expect?
Expect a coaching experience that is personalized, recognizing and valuing your neurodivergent identity. You will be empowered to figure it out with guidance and support.
