Q&A's
- Do I or my child need an official diagnosis to start coaching?
- No, an official diagnosis is absolutely not required. The psychiatric assessment process can be long, expensive, and inaccessible. My coaching focuses entirely on your current real-world experiences, executive functions, and cognitive strengths. Whether you are formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just suspecting a neurotype, you are entirely welcome here.
- What is the difference between coaching and traditional therapy?
- Therapy focuses on processing past trauma and clinical healing, while coaching is present- and future-focused. Together, we build immediate, actionable systems for things like executive dysfunction, burnout recovery, and sensory regulation. Think of therapy as processing why your brain handles things a certain way, and coaching as designing a practical strategy for how to move forward tomorrow.
- How do you tailor your approach to separate neurotypes like ADHD or Dyslexia?
- Every brain requires a distinct toolkit. An ADHD brain often needs dopamine-friendly novelty and focus scaffolding, while an autistic client might require sensory mapping, safety in unmasking, and nervous system regulation to combat burnout. For dyslexia, we lean heavily into spatial strengths and processing fatigue mitigation. Because I am qualified across all five core modalities (including NLP), I blend or separate these strategies based entirely on the individual.
- Can you work with my child’s school or help me advocate for adjustments?
- Yes, absolutely. A major part of youth and student coaching involves helping parents understand what specific, strengths-based accommodations to request. We focus on building practical tools that the child can easily use directly in the classroom to reduce academic anxiety and manage processing demands.
