Hi, I'm Amy! I'm an accredited coach based in Oxford, UK.

In 2023, my understanding of neurodiversity started and ended with Rain Man. That changed when my daughter received an autism diagnosis after years of struggling with anorexia and unsuccessful treatments.

We walked out of that life-changing appointment with more questions than answers. We were left without guidance and felt lost as we tried to navigate what came next. For years, we had followed the recommended treatment pathways, yet nothing seemed to help. When we finally received the autism diagnosis, no one explained the connection between neurodiversity and the challenges she had been facing.

As I tried to better support my daughter, I began learning about neurodiversity, regulation, and nervous system safety- while also rethinking my own experience of dyslexia.

What I discovered transformed the way I understood both my daughter and myself. Rather than seeing neurodiversity as a collection of deficits, I began to see it as a different way of experiencing the world, with its own strengths, challenges, and support needs. This neuroaffirmative perspective became the foundation of my work.

That journey led me to one core belief: safety and understanding are the foundation for change.

When people feel safe, understood, and supported, they are far more able to access their strengths, navigate challenges, and move towards the life they want. Whether someone is struggling with school attendance, anxiety, eating difficulties, burnout, or simply trying to understand themselves better, creating safety must come first.

I founded NeuroHope Coaching to support families in making sense of neurodiversity and finding a more hopeful way forward. Through NeuroHope Coaching, I aim to provide some of what I wish we'd had: someone who could help us understand what neurodiversity meant for our family and support us as we found our own path forward.

Today, I support parents of neurodivergent children through a combination of coaching, practical insights, and evidence-based approaches, helping them better understand their child's needs, build confidence, and create a way forward that works for their family.

My work is not about fixing people. It's about helping individuals and families understand themselves more deeply, identify what works for them, and build environments where they can thrive.

You don't need a diagnosis to work with me. Many of the families and individuals I support are exploring whether neurodiversity may be part of their story, while others have formal diagnoses. What matters most is understanding your unique experiences and finding strategies that genuinely support you. Because every family deserves support, understanding, and hope.
