Coaching / Mentoring / Counselling
Autism Private Mentoring and Coaching
We work with five neurodivergent coaches/mentors (Karen-Anne Maghan, Jenny Meeres, Alicja Nocon, Katherine Arrowsmith and Rachel Westerbeek) all of whom have a diagnosis of one or more neurodivergent conditons, and a counsellor (Amber Redish) who has an autistic son. All have many years of experience of working with autistic, ADHD and other neurodivergent clients, as well as personal lived expereince. The coaches/mentors cover a range of topics including relationships, education, coming to terms with a diagnosis, employment, gender identity, and support for family members and spouses of autistic people.
If you are unsure of who would be best to mentor you please contact us via email at info@asperger-training.com and we can discuss who we think would be best suited to you. If you know who you would like to mentor you, please contact them directly (each person’s contact details are on their profile page).
All of the mentors/coaches and counsellors work privately and independently. We are not responsible for their insurance, how they work, or management of their diaries. Please contact the mentors directly for information on availability and costs.
Autism Workplace Coaching
As well as private mentoring we offer specialised Workplace Coaching for autistic individuals. Our associates have a lot of experience working with autistic people who are in employment and may be having some difficulties in the workplace. We can work directly with the autistic individual to help them navigate the world of employment, and also with their line managers or team members. We have helped employees and employers to successfully gain funding from Access to Work to mentor autistic people in the workplace. We also carry out Autism Workplace Assessments and deliver Autism and Neurodiversity Training. If you would like to discuss Workplace Coaching or a Workplace Assessment for you or your member of staff please contact us at info@asperger-training.com.
