Post Diagnostic Coaching and Mentoring
There may be a great deal you want to explore and learn about, but where do you start? Here is a place of non-judgemental understanding, experience, professional and peer support.
Coaching
Post-diagnostic (mine or other) coaching, including:
self-understanding and self-care
mental health and wellbeing
relationships
parenting
employment and more
We can cover all of these or focus on one or two topics, depending on your needs and preferences.
Mentoring
A minimum commitment of 3 sessions required
Together we will identify aspects of your life where you need some help to
make progress, for example in your self-understanding, mental health and wellbeing, work/ employment/ self-employment, in your relationships, and so on.
We will agree goals and a strategy for achieving these
We will agree on how to measure progress.
We will agree a pace that suits us both, how regularly we meet, for example time in between meetings, in person or online etc.

Having previously trained in mentoring, in 2018 I received funding from Scottish Government for the charity I founded, SWAN, to run a year-long peer-mentoring pilot project. It was a brilliant experience and we all learned a lot!
SWAN has always been a peer-support venture. For 7 years we - I and some other autistic women - ran it voluntarily, as a space for autistic women to come together and to learn from and with each other, to add to the knowledge base around autism, women, girls, and NB people, to inform, and train others.
It has been such a joy over the years to witness the power of autistic people coming together to share lived experience, knowledge and wisdom - and humour, and compassion and understanding!
