Testimonial

“To say that Sarah has supported my journey in discovering who I am, and becoming more aligned with my inner self, is an understatement. She has fundamentally shifted the way I think about tackling a problem, and advocating for my wants and needs. It’s in everything she is and does as a person. Her tone, her choice of words, the empathy and sympathy that radiates from her in every conversation: I consider it a blessing to have felt her impact.

 

Whether you’re looking for support in accessing diagnoses resources, or just for someone to validate your experiences, Sarah approaches both with a sense of curiosity and compassion. I am absolutely thrilled for the journey she is about to take in running her own business, and look forward to working with her on a professional level.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ENCC provide counselling services?

ENCC offers Neurodiversity Coaching.  We do not provide counselling.  We are complementary to, not a replacement for, psychological services.

What is Neurodiversity Coaching?

Neurodiversity coaching is the process of a trained professional working with a neurodivergent person to help them understand their differences and strengths and discover the specific tools that are best suited to help the person thrive, not just survive. Both coach and client are inextricable in the process as, together, they develop strategies for growth and success.

No diagnosis or referral is necessary for coaching sessions with ENCC. Anybody can arrange a session with me.

We work with YOU not a diagnosis.

Our approach and coaching content is designed with you, for you.  Whether you need to learn math, design personalised, neurodivergent friendly strategies to help you get things done in the workplace or at home, completely re-imagine your career, or anything in between, we can work together in a timeframe to suit you.

How Long Will It Take?

The time required the help you make a meaningful difference in your daily life depends on your needs and your goals. Every client is unique and our focus is on YOU.
