About Divergent Thinking

Our Mission

Divergent Thinking is a UK neuroinclusion consultancy that helps organisations turn good intentions into practical change.

Founder Nat Hawley combines lived experience, an MSc in Applied Neuroscience and years of workplace neuroinclusion delivery. Nat is also a TEDx speaker and has contributed to the BBC, Channel 4 and national radio. The purpose is simple: make neuroinclusion practical, credible and useful in everyday working life.

Our Services

We work with businesses, public-sector organisations, educational institutions and community groups. Our services include neurodiversity training, workplace needs assessments, neuroinclusion audits, coaching, consultancy, tailored workshops and keynote speaking.

​

Our work looks beyond awareness alone. Real inclusion is shaped by communication, role design, management practice, workplace systems and whether people can ask for support without unnecessary friction.

 

The approach is collaborative and proportionate. We listen first, explain the available options and focus on changes people can use. Neurodivergent perspectives are part of the work from the beginning, not added as an afterthought.

Awards and Recognition

Divergent Thinking is a Disability Confident Employer, a certified social enterprise and People and Planet First Verified. These commitments sit alongside lived and professional expertise; they do not replace the ongoing work of listening, reviewing practice and improving how inclusion is delivered.
