HEY YOU NEURODIVERGENT SUPER STAR!
You've spent enough time trying to fit your star peg into that round hole. Your brain is unique. In this hour, we will figure out just what that means and how to help you THRIVE!
• You struggle with understanding how life is so much easier for everyone else.
• You have so many amazing ideas, but struggle to choose one and stay with it long enough to make it happen.
• You've read the books that help neurotypical people, but there just seems to be a piece missing for you.
• You work so hard just to appear organised and competent even though you feel like you're barely keeping your head above water.
-You constantly struggle with imposter syndrome and would give anything to just feel like you belong.
Seriously, I get it! So many well intentioned, yet under informed educators, friends, family members and professionals have told you that you are not meeting your potential. No shit! However, none of them have been able to help you figure out how to do just that. This leaves you feeling guilt (I've done something wrong) and shame (I am wrong) and with no answers, support and solutions.
It's no one's fault. Few people have the training, education and perspective it takes to see your world through your eyes. .Until now.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
The problem is a lack of support, accommodation, accessibility and understanding. So far, you've been able to cope. Well, simply coping is no longer good enough.
You deserve the right to thrive and soar and kick ass at life.
Just imagine what you could do if you got all of that wasted time back!
Think about all of that time you spend looking for things, trying to make a decision to start a task or rushing around barely making it or arriving late.
NOW imagine that time magically transforming into doing things that bring you joy and excitement.
Imagine knowing the best way to do life so that it is easy, effortless and designed for YOUR success!
Think about everything you've tried to make your life look like someone else's.
Exhausting!!!
NOW imagine floating through the systems YOU choose that make YOUR life one where you choose what you do.
Imagine walking through this world knowing not only do you belong, but you are valuable and essential in this world.
Think about all of the unkind thoughts that run riot through your mind. Aren't you sick of hearing that voice talk shit about you?
NOW imagine only paying attention to the thoughts that work for your benefit AND creating new ones that propel you forward towards the life you want.
By the end of this hour, your mind will be blown! You are at the centre of everything and we partner for your success. We hit the ground running talking about all of your worries, concerns and areas you want to improve.
Don't know where to start? Don't worry about it. That's why I'm here. Together, we can see what your needs are and find ways to meet them.
We come up with a list of achievable steps for your to take. I help you prioritise the steps of your plan. We get the roadblocks out of the way so we can keep you motivated. I even share some secret life hacks that get your brain in the right space

"Gwen is the neurodivergent detective. She knows how to listen to me and help me sift through all of my words to get to what I need."
— Aurora
“How does she do that? Somehow in 12 weeks she has helped me take control of my life by setting expectations and standards that work my way even if they look different from other people.”
— Miles
"I can't believe how much fun I had doing the work! We laughed through Gwen calling BS when I tried to make excuses. At the end of our time, my life is transformed. The best part is, I'm still doing it!
— Natasha
Absolutely. Diagnosis is not the beginning, the end or even a necessary part of every neurodivergent journey. We can begin working with your so not typical brain as soon as you decide you are ready to learn to thrive your way. Talking about diagnosis is often part of what we do anyway. You may feel ADHD or Autistic or Gifted or OCD or any other label might apply. That's great! My work with you is defined by your needs, not your diagnosis.
It means that I see your brain as perfectly able to thrive, even if it looks different to others. Many places want to try to make you "behave" or "look" neurotypical by the end of it. YUCK! I want to help you see where you naturally soar and where you need support to thrive in a neurotypical world. This does not involve me converting you into someone you are not.
We get right down to business. We take a laser surgery approach to whatever it is that you bring. It is intense and focused on your challenge. We take a solution focused approach to your challenge. You leave a plan or a list of options or a new perspective to make your challenge simply a bump in the road rather than an insurmountable obstacle.
In general, therapy focuses on healing the past. It could be trauma, emotional pain or unhealthy relationships. The focus of therapy is often on resolving difficulties from the past. Coaching, on the other hand, is present and future-focused. Coaches aim to evoke increased personal awareness and learning. We still work with big emotions. However, coaches partner with their clients to move their learning and insight into action. Your autonomy is helps you realise you are the expert in your own life.
I guarantee to show up and respect your time whilst we walk together to discover what your new path looks like. I guarantee to bring a high level of expertise based on 20+ years of working in this field for you to utilise for your benefit. I guarantee I will be honest and challenging and full of surprises. I also guarantee that you will get out what you put in. This is your journey and I am privileged to witness what your so not typical self creates!
I sure do! The entire family system thrives better when neurodivergence is supported and kept accountable in a way that builds a stronger bond. Sometimes, in order to do that, you have to learn a new language to communicate with each other. So Not Typical Partners and So Not Typical Parenting are the places to build these foundations for a happier home. If you are ready for this, book a discovery call.
