We provide strategy coaching for autistic people age 14 and up. Coaching is tailored to you and your unique experiences.

Strategy coaching supports individuals to:
  • find the steps needed to overcome challenges,
  • reach your chosen goals.

Coaching is tailored to you and your unique needs and experiences. We take a biopsychosocial approach, looking at the “whole you” across the different parts of your life and exploring the mind-body connection. We may recommend blending profile mapping with coaching to help us in our quest.

We address three broad areas:

1. Job Coaching
 
This is 1-to-1 work, and can be combined with 3-way sessions with a line manager or HR.  A joined-up approach can help us get to the crux of what’s going on and agree on how best to move forwards.

2. Wider Life & Education

1-to-1 sessions focus on overcoming specific challenges. We might look at: external barriers, ways to regulate your emotions, and how you understand yourself. We plan next steps together.

3. Neurodiversity Profile Mapping

We use the Do-IT Solutions screening tool to map out your strengths and needs. With you, we then interpret the findings and assemble a bank of strategies to benefit you.

How do we work?

Our coaching is focused on your strengths, wishes and needs and focused on an identified goal(s) such as:

  • Returning to or begining at a place of study, training or work.
  • Job coaching - already in work.
  • Becoming more aware of your strengths
  • Transition to a new place
  • Anxiety
  • Understanding your individual experiences better so you can feel more positive
  • Identifying the best strategies and habits that will optimise your daily performance in life, and meet your needs.

Together, we build a full picture of how you can be and feel at your best, and explore the strategies that will build confidence and contribute to successful outcomes.

What can you get out of coaching?

  • understand yourself better and be more aware of your strengths
  • have a better grasp of how to manage specific challenges more effectively
  • feel more confident
  • feel able to be more independent
  • feel more able to achieve your goals
  • feel happier and more effective in your job

 Questions:

* Do I need a formal diagnosis?

No! We believe in meeting needs, more than labels. Our purpose is to facilitate the change that is needed, with your best interests at heart. We recognise that trust and a good rapport are essential to the coaching relationship, so this is a priority in all our work. Your willingness to engage is the only real requirement.

* How does it work?

We typically meet for one hour a week. Our standard coaching programme is 10 weeks long. However, we know that everyone is different, so we work at your pace, there is no rush. 

* Can my coaching be funded?

We usually have grant funding to subsidise the cost of a coaching programme. Please get in touch with us to talk more about this.
