Practical workplace support for
neurodivergent employees
Everyone experiences work differently. We provide practical, personalised support to help you identify the barriers affecting your work, understand what enables you to perform at your best, and develop strategies and adjustments that reflect your individual needs, role, and working environment.
​
Our approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on creating sustainable ways of working that improve confidence, wellbeing, and performance. Most individual support is commissioned by an employer, but you're welcome to contact us directly to discuss your circumstances and explore the options available.
Your privacy and choice
Before support begins, we explain who commissioned it, its purpose, what information may be recorded or shared, who may receive it and any limits to confidentiality. You can ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
Who commissioned this
You will be told who has
arranged and is funding the
support, and what they
have asked for.
What is recorded
We explain what notes or
reports may be produced
and in what form.
Who receives information
You will know in advance
who, if anyone, will receive
a report or summary and
what it will contain.
Limits to confidentiality
Where there are limits, for
example, serious risk of
harm, we will explain
these before you begin.
The aim is not to fix you
Many workplaces are designed around a narrow view of how people should think, communicate, and work. When that design doesn't reflect the way you work best, it can lead to unnecessary effort, stress, and exhaustion.
​
We help you explore the factors that may be creating barriers in your day-to-day work. This includes how information is communicated, how meetings are run, and whether expectations are clear and consistent.
We also consider the physical and sensory aspects of your working environment, how your workload, routines, and priorities are structured, and the impact these have on your ability to focus and perform effectively. Finally, we look at the energy required to navigate a workplace that may not have been designed with neurodivergent ways of thinking in mind, identifying practical changes that can make work more sustainable and supportive.
What to expect
You will be treated as the expert in your own experience. There is no standard checklist that every neurodivergent person must fit.
Your experience, your expertise
We start from what you tell us, not assumptions or a one-size-fits- all checklist. Your account of what is and is not working is the foundation of the work.
A broad range of factors
We may explore communication, sensory factors, focus, workload,
routines, technology and energy, whatever is relevant to your
situation.
Realistic recommendations
Recommendations are specific enough to discuss with the people
responsible for your working environment.
Wider support where needed
Where the team or role also needs attention, we can recommend or facilitate a wider organisational conversation.
What working together looks like
We start by understanding the barriers you are seeing and the change you need. We then recommend a proportionate route — structured enough to be usable, tailored enough to be relevant.
Start the conversation
You do not need a formal diagnosis. Share this page with your manager, HR or People team and ask them to contact us.
Agree the support
We discuss the right route with your employer, whether that is a needs assessment, coaching or a wider conversation.
Begin the work
Support is arranged and we begin, with a clear explanation of what to expect before anything starts.
