How We Do It:
1.Webelieve in your talent, potential and resourcefulness:
We know disability, neurodivergence, and chronic medical conditions can influence the way you think, act and innovate - we celebrate this! Coaching provides a safe space to explore your unique strengths and skills, then build bespoke strategies that work for you specifically, helping you achieve meaningful, sustainable success.
We use a non-directive coaching approach, which means we don’t give you advice. This is because scientifically-robust coaching studies have shown that developing your ability to formulate decisions from within your own thinking can be much more effective and long-lasting than following the advice of others.
This is what makes our coaching a life-changing form of professional development. It fosters confidence, self-belief, and shows you that you can create practical, authentic strategies that yield results. This is also how the impact of our work together will continue to serve you well beyond the end of your coaching package.
2. We can adapt to your learning style and work with any goal:
We know how to tailor our approach to suit how you learn best. This could be through open and explorative conversations, more structured and outcome-focused methods, creative or analytical exercises, and psychometrics - in any combination.
Our work is informed by a broad toolkit of evidence-based coaching methods, acquired via coaching training with the University of Cambridge. Whilst we specialise in working with topics and goals relevant to disability, we also know that a goal or challenge might not always be about disability.
Our clients often tell us that working with a coach with lived experience helps them feel safe and understood more quickly and deeply because we live it ourselves too. This builds trust in our working relationship, helping you make progress more efficiently and effectively, to the benefit of your career, business, and your finances.
3. We understand the additional barriers of disability:
Coaching in its purest sense is about the bridging of a gap between where the person being coached is now, and where they would like to be instead. We recognise the unique pressures of living as a disabled person in a society not physically built for us, and where misconceptions prevail, creating additional barriers to success.
Acquired disability: this can be a difficult and confusing time, grappling with the change, grieving old ways of working and learning how to adapt to different ways of working due to new barriers to success.
The impact of a new environment: For those already experienced with disability, the demands of a new role or project, or a new team might have you in need of new strategies when those tried and tested strategies no longer deliver the results you need.
The desire to build your own business: You might be also starting your own business for the first time, a lot of us do (actually 25% of entrepreneurs are disabled) because you want to work in ways that meet your unique and specific skills and help you control the management of your needs too. Many disabled entrepreneurs also find ways to build a business that provides a solution in the market they wish they had access to as disabled people are excellent innovators and problem-solvers.
Why We Do It:
The disabled population makes up the largest minority group in the world, and it is the only minority group anyone can transition into at any time. The disabled community is also a vital part of the economy:
In the UK, disabled people and their families control £274 billion in spending power, with this figure rising at 14% per year.
Globally, that spending power reaches a staggering $13 trillion, with disabled individuals themselves contributing $1 trillion in disposable income annually.
Different Ways to Work With Us.
We work with anyone that identifies as disabled, neurodivergent or chronically ill, and people with a disabled person to care for outside of work. We also work with non-disabled people, as carers, leaders or business owners, people who understand the value disabled people bring as team members, customers and clients.
1:1 Coaching Packages:
1:1 Coaching offers a traditional yet powerful approach to personal and professional development. Working individually with a dedicated coach provides a tailored space to explore your goals, challenges, and opportunities at your own pace. Sessions are held virtually to offer flexibility and accessibility.
Why Choose 1:1 Coaching?
Bespoke Guidance: Every session is designed around your specific needs, ensuring focused support and personalised strategies.
Safe and Confidential Space: You’ll have the freedom to express yourself openly, knowing your experiences are valued and understood.
Flexible and Adaptive: Whether you want to work through a particular challenge, set career goals, or build confidence, 1:1 coaching adapts to your evolving needs.
Accountability and Motivation: Regular sessions help maintain momentum, offering practical tools and encouragement as you progress.
1:1 Coaching Fees:
New clients begin with a minimum 4-session package (£800). This enables us to build a strong foundation for making meaningful, lasting progress.
After that, any additional sessions can be booked at £180 per session.
The number of sessions you need will depend on the nature of your goal and the pace at which you prefer to work.
Group Coaching Programmes:
Our group coaching programmes provide a supportive, structured learning and development environment where disabled professionals and entrepreneurs can learn, reflect, and grow together. By bringing people together with shared lived experience, we spend less time navigating assumptions or challenging misconceptions about disability, and more time focusing on what matters most - building skills for your careers and businesses!
Our work together is non-directive, which means we don’t tell you what to do and neither do other group members. Instead, we use evidence-based coaching techniques to help you uncover your own insights and solutions in the presence of others. You learn from each other’s experience of the process, not by giving advice.
To illustrate this, as it is a specialist coaching approach, imagine a room full of mirrors. You see reflections of others alongside your own, but the work remains focused on changing yourself, not others. Research shows this leads to greater confidence and stronger decision-making, whilst also reducing isolation and building meaningful connection with others.
