My 1-to-1 coaching offers tailored support, with a special focus on Autistic and ADHD individuals, drawing from both professional coaching techniques and my own lived experiences. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or feeling stuck and in need of direction, I will help you identify what is holding you back and re-author your story, past and present, by building your understanding and empathy of your brain so that you can create a happier, healthier life.
As someone who is both Autistic and ADHD and deeply embedded in the community, I bring empathy and insight from my own experiences and the people I support alongside the tools and strategies of years of private study and accredited training through Gold Mind Academy.

“If you’re looking for a coach who truly understands neurodiversity and can help you navigate your unique path, I wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen. They are a compassionate and skilled guide, and I’m incredibly grateful for their support.
Kathleen doesn’t just offer advice; they empower me to discover my own solutions. Their ability to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and provide gentle guidance has been instrumental in my growth and self-acceptance. ”

As an Autistic and ADHD individual, I bring a unique perspective to neurodiversity training, offering both introductory sessions and full-day workshops that address the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent people. My lived experience informs my approach, providing authentic insights and practical strategies to help create more inclusive environments.
By fostering understanding and empowering teams, my training not only benefits neurodivergent employees but also enhances the experience of your customers or clients. While I specialize in supporting the creative and cultural industries, my adaptable methods are effective across all sectors, helping organizations unlock the potential of neurodivergent talent.

“Kathleen is the shining embodiment of why diversity matters. They bring creativity, playfulness, and personality into all their speaking, and I’ve never left without learning something new and important.”

David McCrae, Public Speaking Coach, TEDx Coach, Scottish Public Speaking Champion, #1 Bestselling author

As a professional speaker, I bring a rich and diverse perspective shaped by my lived experiences as a multiply disabled, multiply neurodivergent, queer individual from working-class roots. My talks explore the intersections of identity, mental health, social mobility, and well-being, offering authentic insights into the challenges faced by marginalized communities.
By weaving together personal stories and professional expertise, I engage audiences on topics such as inclusivity, resilience, and the power of diverse lived experiences. My goal is to inspire meaningful change by sparking conversations that challenge norms and encourage greater empathy and understanding. I am also available for advocacy work.

“As an ADHD UK Ambassador, Kathleen is highly engaged and passionate about ADHD advocacy work and supporting the ADHD community.”
