How does it work?
Access to Work is a UK Government grant designed to provide practical support for people with a disability or health condition to start or remain in work. If you qualify, it can cover specialist Autism, ADHD and workplace coaching tailored to how you work—helping with planning, organisation, focus, communication, and managing overwhelm.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to apply. What matters is how your neurodivergence or health condition impacts your work.

FAQs

Coaching helps you get unstuck and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. You’ll learn to understand your emotions, patterns, and nervous system responses, rather than pushing through or ignoring them.
Through reflective coaching and practical physiology-based tools, you gain tangible ways to regulate stress, align your actions with your values, and take realistic steps toward what matters to you. Over time, this builds your self-leadership and ability to navigate uncertainty from change and transitions.

Therapy often focuses on healing past wounds, mental health challenges, or deep emotional processing.
Coaching is more present, future-focused and action-oriented. It’s about working with where you are now and supporting your growth, decision-making, and self-leadership.
While our work together may touch on past experiences or emotional patterns (especially in trauma-informed coaching), it’s not a substitute for therapy. If needed, I’ll always signpost or work alongside other practitioners in your support network. -
Coaching is a collaborative process where I ask reflective questions to help you clarify your thoughts, feelings, and next steps. You lead the way, bringing what matters most to you, at your pace.
Depending on what you need, mentoring allows space for me to work with you in a framework and offer tools or science that might support your process. Your results are strongest when you actively engage with the tools and strategies that resonate with you.
It’s never about giving advice, telling you what to do, or centering my own story. This work is always about you and your commitment to yourself to implement positive change. -

Client Testimonial
“I began coaching to explore difficulties I was experiencing with Imposter Syndrome and Anette made me feel at ease straight away and created a safe and supportive environment for me to explore what was going on. I was drawn to Anette because she is trauma-informed and I really valued being able to work with both the body and the brain during our sessions and to work in a holistic way. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to get to the root of the problem and the insights that emerged during our sessions. Anette really helped me to increase my awareness of what was keeping me stuck and to reflect upon what I need in order to move forward. I am so grateful for the support that I received and thoroughly recommend Anette if you are looking for coaching support. "
