A 6-week, online group programme for neurodivergent adults
Supporting you to build skills, understanding and self-compassion through your journey with neurodivergence
Is this group for me?
There's a heap of information that you know you could be researching, reading, figuring out on your own. But it can be hard to see which bits actually apply to you, or how it will make a tangible difference in your daily life.
Foundations is a space to start untangling the overwhelm. To more fully understand your brain's unique ways of processing the world.
It's about identifying practical steps that can make life more manageable, while developing the self-compassion that leads to more ease in the long-term.

What you'll gain
I work with people on career transitions, setting up and running businesses, or creating new habits and a more fulfilling personal life. You can read more about my approach for each of these areas of coaching.
If you're coming in with goals that span more than one of these areas, that's fine too - book a call and we'll figure out the best approach for you.
Understanding
Gain clarity on your unique strengths, challenges, and patterns.
Self-acceptance
Connect with others who share similar experiences.
Practical tools
Set realistic goals and explore strategies that work for you.
Coming to terms with your neurodivergence and shifting your concept of yourself and your life takes time. It can be a slow process, and that's appropriate.
In a short period of time, however, we can bring in a new sense of understanding, optimism and connection. We can get started on some practical changes, and you can get a sense of what the longer-term process may hold.
The modules and structure
We'll have weekly, 2-hour Zoom sessions. These will include teaching on the week's topic, along with group discussion and exercises. Sessions will be recorded, so you can revisit them at your own pace or catch up if you miss one.
Supporting materials and resources will be provided to explore between sessions, with the flexibility to continue working on them beyond the programme dates.
There'll be optional weekly, 90-minute 'body doubling' sessions to support you in making progress on your goals. This is a virtual co-working space where you bring along something specific to get done during the session. This way of working is often really supportive for neurodivergent people, giving a sense of focus and accountability.
1. Understanding your neurodivergent self
Spiky profiles, sensory differences, and your individual cognitive blueprint. Identify what you want from this programme and set realistic goals.
2. Executive functioning and brain strategies
How memory, focus, and motivation work in your neurodivergent brain. Notice stuck points and potential adjustments to your habits and ways of working.
3. Navigating stress and emotional regulation
Your relationship to overwhelm, emotional awareness and stress-tolerance. Practical tools for self-observation and regulation.
4. Energy management and boundaries
Strategies for pacing, setting boundaries, and preventing burnout. Begin designing routines that honour your brain's rhythms and capacity.
5. Authenticity and self-advocacy
Reflect on your strengths and what genuine self-expression looks like for you. Build confidence in understanding your needs, and advocating for support.
6. Integration and looking forwards
A flexible session to revisit or deepen previous topics, explore new ones, and set intentions for the future.
A bit about Christina...
To continue my professional development, I completed CPD studies in neurodiversity coaching, mental health coaching, and trauma-informed approaches. I'm committed to my ongoing development, receiving ongoing coaching and supervision.
I was diagnosed with autism, ADHD and dyspraxia in my late thirties, so I have personal understanding and lived experience of neurodiversity.
My coaching practice gradually evolved as I specialised in neurodiversity, allowing me to support clients that I feel a natural affinity with given our shared (albeit varied and unique) life experiences.

My coaching journey with Christina was incredible. Through working with her I gained clarity and challenged myself. The work gave me perspective and enabled me to recognise my successes whilst identifying learnings. Christina is non-judgemental and helped me to be the best version of myself. It can be lonely at the top, so I appreciated a valuable critical friend. I highly recommend working with Christina.

Christina's supportive, intuitive, and encouraging coaching method resulted in lots of 'a ha' moments and a ton of new ideas. I was on such a high vibe after each session as the puzzle pieces clicked into place. Now I have so much more clarity on my goals and vision and how I see my future, and my confidence and self-esteem are so much higher too.

Christina's warmth, kindness and supportive challenge have really helped me to grow in confidence and focus. I started our first session with terrible imposter syndrome and now find myself feeling confident that I can grow my business and feel clear on the tools and strategies I need to do this. Above all else, Christina gave me the space and time I needed to arrive at my solutions and I will be eternally grateful.

Wondering if coaching would help?
Let's have a chat about it.
A free 30-minute call, with nothing to prepare and no pressure to book anything afterwards. We'll talk about what's going on for you and what you'd want to be different, and you'll get a feel for how I work. If I'm not the right person, I'll tell you.
