Neurodiversity Coaching

for Professionals and Small Business Owners

Do you have a Full Plate & a Busy Brain?

Our Coaching is Built for Brains Like Yours

My Story

I'm Lucy, and I know your brain isn't broken—it just works differently. As a late-diagnosed ADHD and autistic person who's built businesses while managing a beautifully chaotic mind, I know what it's like to feel as though you need to fix yourself to succeed.

My journey through hospitality, mentoring, and supporting small businesses taught me something crucial: the strategies that work for neurotypical minds often leave us more exhausted than accomplished. I've been where you are—staring at productivity advice that feels impossible, wondering why "simple" workplace interactions drain your energy, and searching for that elusive balance between being authentically yourself and professionally successful.

That's why I created Full Plate Collective. Because I believe neurodiverse professionals deserve more than survival strategies—we deserve to thrive.

How I Help You Design Life on Your Terms

Instead of forcing you into neurotypical moulds, I help you understand how your mind works best and build from there.

Here's what we'll work on together:

Build systems that make sense for your brain - not the ones that "should" work

Design routines that energise you - instead of draining your batteries

Develop confidence in asking for what you need - at work and in business

Transform masking and burnout - into sustainable ways of being yourself

Create career or business success - that accomodates and celebrates your neurodiversity fully

I also work with organisations to create genuinely inclusive environments through training that goes beyond tick-box diversity—helping teams understand how neurodiverse minds actually work and what real support looks like.

What are we about?

At Full Plate Collective, our mission is to create spaces where diverse minds don't just exist— they excel without exhausting themselves to fit in.

I help individuals transform their businesses and careers by designing inclusive programmes, systems and tools that work with their neurotype, not against it.

My approach combines practical guidance with a deep and personal understanding of neurodiverse experiences, creating pathways to self-employment and sustainable employment that embrace unique thinking styles as strengths rather than barriers.

I'm here to help you embrace your brain, create an environment designed to help you thrive and live the life you want, in a way that makes sense to you.

Have you got a question about working with me? I've got you covered, but if the answer you're looking for isn't below, pop me a message!

What is an Neurodiversity Coach?

Neurodiversity coaching is a specialised support service designed to help neurodivergent individuals (such as those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia etc) understand their unique strengths, develop personalised strategies, and navigate personal and professional challenges.

I own a small business. How can you help?

With my experience in running my own businesses, I am well-equipped to help small business owners, particularly during their start-up and growth periods. I understand the unique challenges they face and can provide valuable insights and practical advice. I support small businesses by offering strategic planning, efficient time management techniques, and guidance on scaling operations. Furthermore, I help small business owners build sustainable routines that not only support their professional success but also ensure they feel fulfilled in their personal lives.

What is a Neurodiversity Support Worker?

As a Neurodiversity Support Worker, I provide personalised, practical support to help neurodivergent individuals navigate everyday life and reach their full potential. I work directly with individuals who have ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions, offering tailored strategies to manage daily challenges, develop effective routines, and improve social skills. My approach focuses on understanding each person's unique neurodivergent profile, building confidence, and providing tools to help clients advocate for themselves in workplace, educational, and personal environments. I offer hands-on guidance in accessing support services, creating practical solutions, and serving as an accountability partner to ensure clients stay motivated and on track towards their goals. My support is judgement-free, strengths-focused, and designed to empower neurodivergent individuals to embrace their unique way of thinking and living.

Do you only work with neurodiverse people?

No, I also work with neurotypical individuals, providing support in achieving their personal and professional goals. My approach focuses on empowering clients to enhance their self-awareness, develop effective coping mechanisms, and improve their overall well-being. Whether navigating educational challenges, workplace dynamics, or personal growth, I offer strategies that promote success and fulfillment.

By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, I aim to empower all clients, regardless of neurodiversity, to confidently navigate life's complexities and achieve their desired outcomes.

How much will this cost?

I offer sliding scale fees that reflects the personalised guidance, strategies, and support I provide whilst ensuring it remains financially sustainable for you. I offer block pricing options, which reduce the overall cost for clients who commit to multiple sessions. This structured approach allows us to work more intensively over a set period, ensuring sustained progress towards their goals. Each session is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients, focusing on enhancing self-awareness, developing effective coping mechanisms, and improving overall well-being. This investment ensures that you receive dedicated support and strategies that empower youto navigate challenges and achieve personal and professional growth effectively.

How do I get started?

Getting started with me is straightforward, and I'm here to ensure the process is smooth for you. You can begin by booking a discovery call or simply sending me an email to kick things off. During our conversation, we'll talk about your goals, challenges, and how I can support you.

After our initial chat, I'll provide you with a personalised quote for the package that best fits your needs.

I'm neurodiverse. How can you help?

As a late-diagnosed neurodiverse woman, I bring a unique perspective and deep understanding to supporting neurodiverse individuals. I help them navigate their neurodiversity, whether it's ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other cognitive differences, by providing personalised guidance and strategies tailored to their specific needs and challenges. Drawing from my own experiences and insights, I assist clients in developing practical skills to manage their day-to-day lives more effectively.

My approach involves empowering neurodiverse individuals to embrace their strengths while addressing areas of difficulty. I work with them to build self-awareness, develop coping mechanisms, and improve social interactions. Additionally, I offer support in navigating educational and workplace environments, advocating for accommodations when needed to ensure equal opportunities and success.

Beyond professional and academic settings, I help neurodiverse individuals cultivate sustainable routines that foster personal fulfilment and well-being. By fostering a supportive and understanding environment, I aim to empower my clients to confidently navigate life's challenges and thrive in their unique neurodiverse identities.

How long will we work together?

To ensure meaningful progress and results, I request a commitment of a minimum of four sessions from my clients. This timeframe allows us to establish a strong foundation, implement strategies, and evaluate their effectiveness over time. By committing to this structured approach, clients can experience tangible improvements in their lives and achieve their desired outcomes more effectively.

What is Access to work?

Access to Work is a government initiative in the UK designed to support individuals with disabilities or health conditions in the workplace. It provides financial assistance and practical support to help individuals start working, stay in work, or move into self-employment.

I can work with clients who receive Access to Work funding to provide specialised guidance and support tailored to their needs. This funding can cover the costs of my services, including sessions aimed at enhancing workplace skills, improving productivity, and fostering a supportive work environment that accommodates their neurodiversity.

I am here to help you navigate the resources available and ensure you receive the support you need to thrive in your professional journey.

“Since working with Lucy I have gained greater control of my processes and I have clarity on the direction of my business now. I will continue to work with Lucy to grow by florist business and to develop my professional capabilities. 2 months ago I was feeling deflated and I wasn't sure of what direction I was heading in. Now, I have a plan and I feel motivated to achieve it. I highly recommend Full Plate Collective for small business owners like me."
