Hi, I’m Sophie (MSc GMBPsS, EMCC), an accredited Coaching Psychology Practitioner and autism researcher. I specialise in coaching late‑identified and diagnosed autistic and AuDHD adults as they navigate the identity‑shifting terrain that follows diagnosis, and step into their post‑diagnostic becoming. Whether that’s coaching an autistic senior leader through a career change, or helping a newly diagnosed AuDHDer figure out of what they now value in life - I have the expertise and the lived experience to support you through it.

Why i Do What I do.

When I received my own autism diagnosis in 2021 at age 28, I walked out of the clinician’s office exhausted. I had just spent hours unpacking decades of trauma, answering question after question, completing tasks that felt alien and disorienting.

A month later, my “reward” arrived: a report written in deficit language, offering more confusion than clarity.

I finally had an explanation for why I had struggled for so long.

I thought this report would be the roadmap toward living my best possible life. Instead, it felt like being handed a map with no compass — a document cataloguing what I supposedly couldn’t do, rather than who I was or who I could become.

What I needed was support to make sense of it all: my identity, my relationships, my career, my future.

What I got was the assumption that simply knowing I was autistic would be enough.

I didn’t want to learn to cope. I had been coping for 28 years. I wanted to stop surviving and start becoming. But I didn’t know how.

What happened next reshaped everything, and it became the blueprint for how I now walk alongside others in their post‑diagnostic becoming.
