KNOW. BE. BECOME.
Coaching autistic and AuDHD professionals towards A meaningful, values-led future.
You've spent years being the most capable person in the room - and the most exhausted.
Your diagnosis didn't change that. It just finally gave it a name.
The report you were handed speaks only in deficits. It tells you what you struggle with, but nothing about who you truly are. Nothing about what becomes possible now.
Here's what no clinician tells you: a diagnosis is not an ending. It's not even really a beginning. It's a threshold. Standing at a threshold means you have to decide who you are becoming on the other side.
Most people never get that support. They're told that knowing should be enough.
It isn't.
The professionals I work with are highly capable, deeply reflective, and ready for something more than survival. They want to rebuild their careers, their sense of self, their relationship with their own mind, with intention.
That requires answering three questions:
Who am I now? Who do I want to become? How do I get there?
That's where we begin.
Hello.
I'm Sophie (MSc, GMBPsS, EMCC) - an accredited Coaching Psychology Practitioner and autism researcher. I'm one of the very few coaches who takes neurodivergence seriously as an identity question, not just a clinical one - with the lived experience, academic research background and training to go there properly.
I specialise in coaching late- diagnosed autistic and AuDHD professionals as they navigate the identity‑shifting terrain that follows diagnosis, and step into their post‑diagnostic becoming.
Whether that's an autistic senior leader reimagining their career, or a newly identified AuDHDer figuring out what they actually want from life, I bring the expertise and the lived experience to go there with you.
I don’t show you how to get to where you want to be. Instead, I provide the relational depth, and ask the challenging questions for you to do this yourself.
Why i Do What I do.
When I received my autism diagnosis in 2020 at 28, I walked out of the clinician's office exhausted. I had just spent hours unpacking decades of experience - five years in corporate, four years in teaching, and a persistent, quietly devastating sense that something wasn't quite right, without ever knowing what.
A month later, my report arrived offering more confusion than clarity.
I had expected a roadmap. 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.
It wasn't.
I had been coping for 28 years. I didn't want another strategy for surviving. I wanted to stop managing my life and start building one. But I didn't know how.
What happened next reshaped everything and became the blueprint for how I now walk alongside others in their post-diagnostic becoming.

You'll explore identity -related topics, what being neurodivergent means to you, and clarify your values. Many participants go on to deepen and integrate this work through 1:1 coaching with me.
