Hello! I’m Gwen
Maverick • Advocate • Notable Neurodivergent Spaceholder
I help you unlearn the conditioning that taught you to trade authenticity for approval, and together we build ways of being that feel expansive, true, and profoundly you.
With a Master’s in Occupational Psychology, PCC coaching accreditation, and over 25 years of experience working with neurodivergent individuals and systems, I bring both lived expertise and professional rigour to every space I hold. My background as a therapist allows me to bring an added dimension of insight into identity, relationships, and wellbeing when working with individuals and organisations.
Work With GwenI’m a coach, supervisor, and organisational consultant.
And I partner with individuals through coaching that makes space for their strengths, struggles, and unique rhythm.
I work with organisations to build belonging-centred cultures where difference is visible, respected, and welcomed.
I support coaches through reflective supervision that deepens practice, honours complexity, and strengthens inclusive thinking.
And I partner with individuals through coaching that makes space for their strengths, struggles, and unique rhythm.
I know what it feels like to:
Struggle in a world that is not designed for your success.
Hear weapon words like ‘too much’, ‘too sensitive’
Experience a constant feeling of being an outsider
All of this caused me frustration, depression and a desire to belong that could never be met. I masked to an extreme. I spent hours trying to decipher what everyone knew and I just didn’t. I would constantly go to bed and wonder, ‘Why is it so easy for everyone else?
I’ve spent a lifetime navigating neurodivergence: in my own mind, in my family, in schools, in systems, and in spaces where I was expected to be less sensitive, less intense, less me. I’ve done the over-adapting. The masking. The burnout. And I’ve rebuilt, again and again, by figuring out how to work with the brain I actually have, not the one I was told I should. Want to hear more about my story of taking the curvy and wide wondering path? You can listen to my podcast here.
That’s why I do this work. Because I believe there’s power in being seen clearly, supported deeply, and given space to show up in your full rhythm. That’s what I want for you — and what we’ll build together.
Work With GwenI believe that...
- Difference is not a deficit — it’s a dimension of human brilliance
- You shouldn’t have to translate yourself to be heard and valued
- Coaching should honour lived experience and change to honour it
- Supervision should be a space for honesty, growth, and complexity, where good coaches become brave ones
- True organisational inclusion means building cultures where difference belongs and diverse voices lead boldly
- There is no one right way to be, only ways to be that are right for each of us
- Wonder, humour, and sharp thinking can (and should) coexist
Why do I do it?
I do this work because I’ve lived the cost of pretending to be fine when I wasn’t. Of shrinking to fit. Of always adapting while rarely being met.
And I’ve seen what becomes possible through coaching, supervision, and organisational change when people are truly seen, when difference is designed for, and when inclusion stops being a buzzword and becomes a lived practice.
I want a world where neurodivergent people don’t just survive the systems we’re born into. We shape them.
This is more than my work. It’s my belief. My commitment. My reason for being here.
Because coping should never be the benchmark. You deserve to thrive.

I know
That supporting differently is essential
That lived experience is valid data.
That authenticity should never have to be traded for approval
That coaching, leadership, and culture can all be reshaped
When we stop only asking people to adapt, and start adapting the spaces together
I am here with you to do this differently. That’s the power in being So Not Typical.
