Before We Begin...

As a HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist, I hold a protected title, which means I have completed rigorous education and training and am required to maintain high professional standards throughout my practice. My registration with both the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) ensures that my work is guided by clear codes of ethics, reflective practice, and professional accountability.

This offers reassurance that the support I provide is held within a recognised, regulated framework, shaped by evidence, compassion and integrity. My clinical background allows me to understand how work and wellbeing intertwine, and how our occupational roles can deeply influence our sense of self. Occupational therapy holds a unique space where reflective, psychotherapeutic exploration sits alongside the development of practical strategies and skills, supporting you to sustain meaningful engagement in your work and life over the long term.

While many coaches offer valuable and skilled support, it can sometimes be difficult to know what qualifications or professional standards an individual coach may hold, as ‘coach’ is not currently a protected title in the UK. In contrast, as an Occupational Therapist, my professional registration and standards are clear, offering additional reassurance around the quality, safety and accountability of the support I provide.

So, if you’re finding it difficult to navigate the landscape of professionals and want to feel confident that the person you choose is appropriately trained and ethically accountable, I hope this information offers a little reassurance. And even if we don’t work together, you may find it helpful to explore other Occupational Therapists whose approach and experience feel like the right fit for you.

Access to Work Coaching Support

If you’ve been granted Access to Work funding and are looking for support around managing burnout, understanding your neurodivergent profile, and developing sustainable ways to thrive at work, I can offer specialist sessions designed to meet those needs.

What I Offer

I provide neuro-affirming, occupational therapy utilising a coaching informed approach to help you understand how your brain and body interact with your work environment, and to build realistic, effective strategies for managing the demands of your role.

My background as both an Occupational Therapist and EMDR therapist means I can support you in exploring the practical and emotional aspects of work. The coaching approach is structured and goal-focused, while still offering space for reflection, validation and growth.

Together, we’ll look at:

Understanding how your neurodivergent traits (e.g. ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, executive function differences) impact your workday.
Developing practical techniques to manage focus, time, energy, sensory load and transitions.
Identifying and embedding workplace adjustments that genuinely support you, such as communication styles, environmental changes, or flexible routines.
Managing and recovering from burnout, and building sustainable boundaries and self-care practices.
Processing a diagnosis or self-identification and understanding how it shapes your sense of self and work identity.
Building confidence to communicate your needs to colleagues, managers, or Access to Work assessors.

Sessions are collaborative and flexible, they can take place online, around your work schedule, and at a pace that feels right for you.

How This Aligns with Access to Work Coaching

Increase self-understanding and confidence in the workplace
Develop practical, job-focused strategies
Reduce barriers to performance and wellbeing
Prevent or recover from work-related stress and burnout
Support long-term participation and success at work

My approach aligns with these aims by combining a work-focused, structured process with an understanding of neurodivergence, work environments and systems. Each session has clear aims, and we’ll regularly review progress and outcomes.

For example, you might leave coaching with:

A clear understanding of your neurodivergent strengths and challenges
A practical system to manage workload, energy, or sensory needs
Greater confidence in advocating for your needs at work
Sustainable habits that protect your wellbeing and prevent burnout

My Approach

I work from a neuro-affirming, strengths-based perspective, meaning your neurodivergence isn’t treated as a problem to fix, but as an important part of who you are.
We explore what works for your brain, not against it.

My approach draws on:

Occupational Therapy principles, understanding roles, environments, sensory needs, and daily routines
Evidence-based psychological approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT skills, and neuro-affirming practice
Practical strategy development: adapting tools, systems and environments to support sustainable performance

The aim is for you to finish our work together feeling more confident, balanced and equipped with the tools to manage your work in a way that truly fits you.
