Neurodivergent Informed Therapeutic Coaching with Michelle Blake

I specialise in ADHD and Autism counselling and coaching and have extensive knowledge and experience of working with families pre-and post-diagnosis including in the areas of substance misuse, parenting, and education. I have lived experience of being Autistic and ADHD as well as having children who are Autistic, ADHD, Dyslexic, and hearing impaired.

My professional background includes working as a counsellor/coach primarily within educational settings specifically working with students who are neurodivergent. I also work for a charity that advocates for early intervention for neurodivergent families and individuals (www.earlyintervention.org.uk). All of my work centres around my core passion for supporting and advocating on behalf of neurodivergent individuals and their right to be included.
