Neurodivergent coaching for teens

Neuro-inclusive support for teenagers in-person across Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Greater London and online nationwide.

Let’s get this straight…

  • Your teen brain is experiencing the biggest transformation of a lifetime, no wonder things feel a bit shaky.

  • I’m here to show you can thrive being you, your way, where things become easier and less stressful.

  • You’ll find ways to tackle what’s ahead of you and have your own back when it matters.

  • The fun part is learning what that looks like. Within your context, your values, your culture, your beliefs and your identity. No one else’s.

Does this sound like you?

1

Everyone wants you to talk but barely anyone understands where you’re coming from

You work hard and are super determined but the progress doesn’t match up

2

You have heavy moments or meltdowns that leave you exhausted and needing time alone

3

You find friendships hard work to make, to keep and to recover from fallouts

4

You try to break habits, start off well but eventually fall off

5

You wish your brain and environment would demand less of your energy

6

You’ve got a few strategies that work well sometimes but can’t always rely on them

7

You wish your brain would just work differently so life could be easier

8

You want someone who can listen and help, not someone to tell you what to do

I’ve worked with teens for 8 years and they’re my favourite people.

I’m not a teacher, I’m a coach, which means there’s no hierarchy only mutual respect over a chat. You won’t be judged for your mistakes, thoughts, feelings, or goals, only listened to with actions that progress what you care about.

Our sessions can be:

  • Walk and talks

  • Lunch chats

  • Body doubling

  • Chill time

  • Deep dives

  • Gaming duos or craft breaks

  • And with extra time to finish up

This is coaching, not therapy, without the unnecessary stuff.

What it’s like working with me

  • Sessions are designed to be an inclusive and judgement-free set of conversations.

    Each session helps you identify where you’re at and make the progress you want to have.

    We work with your brain, how you process ideas and communicate.

    By default, you’re respected as the expert of your own experience.

    You’re invited to bring your whole self to every session, mess and all.

    You don’t need a diagnosis to work with me.

    You’ll get to use what’s useful from my extensive knowledge of neurodivergence.

  • Sessions can be held online on Zoom, or in-person at your home or school.

    Each session is essentially a really easy chat that’s confidential.

    I’m an easy going coach who finds the balance between facing the hard stuff with laughing our way through the rest.

    Our chats are lead by what you’re most interested in, so sessions aren’t awkward or forced. You decide the format based on how you like to share and learn.

    We get to look at strategies for things like skills development, decision-making, energy and sensory management, emotional regulation, relationships, communication scenarios, study pacing and anxiety management.

    We look at your internal world alongside your external experience and use tools to empower you in any situation, so you can take on bigger unknowns.

    Each session is 45 minutes long. I just ask you really good questions that help you think clearer. If it’s helpful, you’ll also have my accountability support along the way.

  • Strength-based psychology

    We focus on your values, qualities, skills and experiences that lead you well, and use these to build stronger foundations.

    Applied Neuroscience

    We call on evidence-based neuroscience (not pop science) to help you understand your brain and develop healthier practices you can sustain.

    Somatic-based enquiry

    We can’t always think our way into clarity. We’ll explore what experiences and emotions feel like physically to help you find meaning and lighter ways forward.

    Trauma-informed

    Mental health challenges and trauma are often a part of the neurodivergent experience. We don’t ignore this. We work at a safe pace in support of your journey that acknowledges your history.

  • See yourself and your strengths from a broader perspective.

    Challenge the labels that have overshadowed your identity and taught you to doubt yourself.

    Find better ways to function during stressful periods that don’t leave you burnt out and needing a break.

    Exist in spaces you can be yourself and less self conscious of others.

    Better accept your emotions without fighting or hiding them.

    Move from paralysis to starting things more easily.

    Develop the words to advocate for your needs without spiralling into what-if’s.

    Replace your internal narrative that’s built on self-trust instead of self-sabotage.

    Develop confidence in having your back in challenging situations.

    A healthier and brighter outlook on your future.

What clients are saying

“We can talk about the most mundane things, but go on so many different journeys, and then we can have the deepest philosophical existential crisis conversations. They're all in one, and it's great, because that's how my mind works.”

“I probably wouldn't be as far along in my journey with another person compared to what I am now. I've both progressed and challenged my own mindset, which has then helped me to change as a person, but not in a fundamental or moral way. I have evolved as a human because of it.”

“It's noticed by my family and boyfriend that I have more externally visible patience, rather than just internalising. I’ve seen the difference especially with my mindset and toolkit. It’s been so much easier.”

— Rochelle, AuDHD and her very human evolution bossing relationship and career changes

“With Patrice’s support, I’ve been able to sit with challenges, process difficult emotions, and face things head-on rather than avoid them. This has helped me to build deeper relationships, clarify my priorities, and find a renewed sense of purpose. I feel more grounded, clearer in my direction, and better equipped to handle difficult situations.”

— Hattie, with ADHD daughter, sailing through a huge life change after recovery

“I forgot about you being a neurodivergent coach. Coaching has contributed to me being in the now. Being right here, present, in the moment. That’s quite a big one, really. Because I’ve been able to speak to things that are going on. I’m not focusing on my troubles. You know, rushing to get this and this and this done.

I think I would have been jumping all over the place otherwise, and getting everything done at once.”
