Your Neurodiversity Coach

About

If you’re here, chances are you’ve faced overwhelming mental clutter, the daily struggle of executive function, or exhaustion from constantly navigating neurotypical expectations.

Nick, neurodiversity coach

I get it. Really.

For over nine years, I’ve worked exclusively with neurodivergent adults, and neurodiversity is part of my daily life. Supporting family members with ADHD and autism means this work goes beyond theory—I navigate these complexities too.

My approach is shaped by lived experience, empathy, and respect for every mind’s uniqueness

Roterdam, consultant

Unmasking myself first

My career began in Roterdam as an energy policy consultant, ticking off boxes for success on paper. But hiding behind a desk—and behind a mask—left me disconnected from myself and what really gave me energy.

It took me two years to hand in my resignation and take a leap of faith to swap my consultancy job for the wild waters of Wales. I initially began as an outdoor pursuits instructor (coasteering) and then worked as a behavioural therapist working with clients with autism. This journey taught me what creates real, lasting change, both in myself and others. Stepping into your doing mode.

Why ACT for Neurodivergent Adults?

Traditional CBT approaches often focus on managing symptoms or “fixing” behaviour, but ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Training) is different. 

ACT is all about psychological flexibility: building the skills to face difficult experiences, stay present, and take action towards your own values, even when it’s uncomfortable. The beauty of ACT is that it doesn’t see neurodivergence as something to be cured—it recognises and celebrates neurological diversity as a natural part of humanity.​

ACT works so well for neurodivergent people because it:

Your neurodivergence isn’t a disorder to fix, struggles are a part of the human experience. No brain is the same. We focus on building psychological flexibility skills, not changing who you are.

If you’ve met one person with ADHD, you’ve met one person with ADHD. The same applies to autism. We are all different and face a different context so it is only fair to acknowledge the whole picture. I tailor the approach to your needs, strengths, sensory differences, and preferred ways of communicating. Going step-by-step with as much support and structure as required. 

ACT acknowledges the real stress, prejudice, and challenges neurodivergent people face, and offers practical, compassionate tools to move forward.

ACT is neither pro- nor anti-medication. If medication helps you build a better life and the benefits outweigh the costs, it’s workable. We take a flexible, individualized approach.

Beyond quick fixes

Many conventional supports for neurodivergent adults focus on external strategies — time management, organization, productivity. But without addressing the deeper psychological barriers, these tools rarely stick.

By weaving Acceptance and Commitment Training* into our coaching services we get to the root, helping you:

  • Open up

    #

    Make space for uncomfortable and difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them taking control of you. 

  • Stay present

    #

    Be in the here and now, even when your mind is pulled in a million directions. Learn the skills to redirect your attention to what really matters; and sustain it when necessary.

  • Commit to action

    #

    Take steps guided by your own values, because you want to live life your way. Not about fitting in or being 'normal'—about living authentically on your own terms.

Working with me

Outside of coaching, I'm a husband and father.

When I find time for myself, I'm usually outdoors or swimming in cold water. It keeps me present and helps me reconnect to my body (head-heavy job). Nature and movement grounds me.
