Kindred Neurodiversity ADHD & Neurodivergent Coaching

My name is Jules at Kindred Neurodiversity, I’m a Yorkshire-based ADHD and neurodiversity coach, mother to two neurodivergent girls, and a passionate advocate for creating neuroaffirming support. After years of navigating anxiety, depression, and a lifelong sense of difference, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at 42, a moment which reshaped how I understood myself and my potential.

That journey of self-discovery sparked a deep curiosity and commitment to learning. In 2023, I began my professional coaching education so I could use my knowledge, expertise, and lived experience to help others on their own path of understanding and acceptance. I hold certifications in coaching, ADHD coaching and neurodivergent inclusive practice, alongside currently working towards an ILM Level 7 Diploma in Executive Coaching & Mentoring and EMCC Senior Practitioner Accreditation.

I work with adults in 1:1 online coaching programmes to explore emerging curiosity of neurodivergence pre-diagnosis; support acceptance and understanding of new diagnosis; and support navigation of life changes which have disrupted previous coping strategies. Kindred Neurodiversity and my Kindred Ethos were born out of a desire to create the kind of space and support that I would have benefited from during my exploration of neurodivergence.

• Knowledge: Embracing curiosity about each client’s individual experience and sharing psychoeducation about neurodivergence.
• Identity & Insights: Holding space for the unfolding of authentic selfhood, supporting the recognition and celebration of each client’s distinct identity, and the wisdom of their insights.
• Nurturing & Neuroaffirming: Bringing a nurturing, compassionate presence to every session, infusing my work with deep respect for neurodivergent needs and the importance of neuroaffirming spaces.
• Discovery: Approaching coaching as a collaborative exploration, embracing the unexpected, and making room for growth, new strategies, and gentle experimentation.
• Recognition: Making it a priority to acknowledge effort, growth, and lived realities, valuing both visible achievements and quiet acts of self-advocacy.
• Empathy & Empowerment: Aiming to embody genuine empathy, welcoming all feelings and perspectives without judgment. Encouraging clients to seek empowerment through embracing their personal strengths.
• Direction: While I support goal-setting and forward movement, I’m guided by each client’s own values, pacing, and sense of purpose: always client-led.

These values underpin everything I do in my coaching practice. My approach to ADHD and neurodiversity coaching within my Kindred ethos is to create a safe and supportive space to help individuals explore their neurodivergent profiles through exploratory conversation, psychoeducation, and tailored exercises. Together, we can explore their unique strengths profile, sensory profile, executive functioning, and experiences with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): the anxious expectation or intense emotional and sometimes physical response to real or perceived criticism, judgment, or rejection.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me supporting my home-educated daughters, cheering from the sidelines of their football pitches, baking, reading, or out camping and walking in nature.
