Access to Work is a UK Government grant scheme that helps people with disabilities or long-term health conditions (including ADHD and autism) to start or stay in work. It can fund a wide range of support, such as coaching, specialist equipment, travel costs, or mental health support.

In the first stage, our practitioner completes an observational assessment. We look at how you move, how you pay attention, your body language, and behaviours like fidgeting or foot tapping. This gives us a fuller picture of how ADHD or autism might be affecting you at work. These insights help us create a detailed coaching plan based on real-life challenges and strengths.

Coaching is a commitment from both you and us. In your first session, we explore your motivation: how ready you are to understand your neurodivergence, what kind of work you’re willing to invest in, and how you want to grow. If you feel ready, we will move into the full coaching programme.

Our coaching is tailored for adults with ADHD or ASD who are struggling in the workplace. We draw on the information from your diagnosis, observation, and assessments to design strategies that suit you. Each session addresses what works, what doesn’t, and how to build on your strengths.

We help you gain a clear, compassionate understanding of your neurodivergence  how it affects your emotions, behaviour, attention, and working style. We also explore how these traits can be a strength when understood properly.

We work together to identify areas of your life that may be contributing to stress or instability and help you build a more balanced routine that supports your emotional well-being and productivity.

Based on your assessment, we help you identify and build on your strengths so you can confidently navigate workplace challenges. We also help you communicate these strengths to colleagues and managers.

Emotions are powerful, especially in neurodivergent brains. We explore how your emotions connect to your ADHD or ASD and create strategies for recognising triggers and managing your responses effectively.

Together, we develop a “Success Plan” with SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals tailored to your work context. We review these in coaching sessions to track progress and adjust as needed.

Weekly coaching for the first 6 weeks

Then once every two weeks for 2 sessions

Follow-up with monthly check-ins to support the Success Plan, over a further three months
