Neuroinclusion can be easy, simple and fun, actually.
Hi, I'm Katie. A coach and strategist based in London. I work with brilliant neurodivergent women and organisations that want to do neuroinclusion differently.The mission? To change the neuroinclusion conversation from deficit and compliance to systems that stick and help everyone; doable steps, practical tools, and heaps of true neurodivergent (ND) joy.
Ways to work with me:
Speaking & Workshops: Go beyond 'nice to have' info sessions and tick-boxing. I help organisations gain, train, nurture and retain top ND talent at all levels with rigorous research, real stories and warm humour.
Mind Manual Sessions: 6 weeks. 6 sessions. 1:1. We build a manual for your ND brain that is distinctly yours and lasts long after coaching concludes.
Mossglow: My whimsical Dungeons & Dragons inspired small-group adventure to a mysterious temple (and its resident cat spirits!) is launching this summer. The waitlist is open!

Catch-22
Employers reported that they experienced barriers to making adjustments:
69% say that lack of disclosure is an issue.
65% that managers don’t know enough.
30% had little faith that the adjustments they have actually work.This highlights a catch 22– employees don’t feel safe enough to disclose, but without them stating their needs, employers and managers don’t know how best to support.Source: Birkbeck, University of London / Neurodiversity in Business, 2023

So who the heck am I?
The Origin Story
The first time I realised I was different, I was seven; sitting on my own by the school pond, watching the other girls do handstands in a circle. The moment we moved beyond imaginary games, everything stopped making sense.Everyone else seemed to have been handed a playbook. I never got one.I did everything right - and I mean everything - from representing the UK as a cadet at 17 to getting the highest first in my year from Oxford.Then I started work. Still no playbook.And this time, without the structure of education, the experience nearly killed me.It took years to rebuild.To do it I went on adventures, built tools, developed methods for translating how my mind works into something I could actually use. Then I trained as a coach. Then I found out I was neurodivergent.Now, I want to give you the playbook I made.Because I get it.
And most importantly, because no one has to do this alone.

1:1 Coaching
For Frazzled High Achievers ready for the mess to finally make sense
Let me know if this sounds familiar:
From the outside you look like you're killing it. Educated, articulate, confident. You've got a great CV, a career, and a life. You're the person who 'has it handled' in a crisis.If your colleagues (and maybe even some friends and family) had to point to the neurodivergent person in the room, barely any of them would dream of picking you.But on the inside, or out of view of the Zoom camera? It's a very different story.The push-pull of being outstanding in some areas and hopeless in others is exhausting. The tools and routines you've researched feel great, but don't stick week-to-week, sometimes even day-to-day.You're so used to covering up the cracks you've forgot which parts are you, and which parts are the mask.A bit of you is hungering for joy; the playful ease of being yourself.But the price of being honest is too high, right? What if they think you're less capable? That you're not trying? What if you're actually just lazy or stupid, like the evil little voice in your head whispers sometimes?What if, god forbid, more things start to slip?
Breathe, my friend. You are so far from alone.Even better, I built the Mind Manual Sessions just for you.

Speaking & Workshops
My dear, brilliant, exhausted friend, here's the truth:
Your ND employees aren't burning out because they're not trying hard enough. They're burning out because "bring your whole self to work" sounds like a career-ending threat.
If that line made you lean forward, you're exactly who I work with.Let's be honest. No one wants to bring their whole self to work, and they shouldn't have to, least of all ND people who already mask so much to feel safe. But with executive function difficulties, the line between work and private life for many NDers blurs; and the mess, stress and shame on both sides of it starts to snowball.Neuroinclusion that actually works needs three things:
Your ND employees need to self-regulate and triage their own workload; without baring their soul to do it.
Your managers need teams who can ask for help clearly and confidently; without it becoming a therapy session.
You need a protocol that empowers both; no huge budgets, no admin overhauls, no guesswork.
This is what I do.
Here's how it works
Neuroinclusion has a problem.
ND employees are afraid that honest disclosure will cost them their careers. Leaders are watching star performers burn out without warning and don't know why. The gap between employee experience and workplace policy is where good people get lost.I work in that gap. Not by asking employees to bare their souls, or leaders to rebuild their HR system from scratch. By making the conversations that need to happen actually happen - safely, clearly, and in a language both sides can work with.The balance is tailored to what you need. The building blocks are:
Losing ND talent to burnout? Practical, private workshops that give your people real tools - and give you a clearer picture of what they actually need.
Done with tick-box compliance that gets forgotten? Strategic consultancy that builds a bespoke, workable neuroinclusion process - without reinventing the wheel.
Overwhelmed by the noise? Keynotes and Lunch & Learns that cut through the confusion, get everyone on the same page, and make the path forward feel doable - and worth taking.
This isn't a training that gets forgotten by Friday. It's creative, fun, completely practical. And most of all? It sticks.Let's talk about how it can work for you.
