Welcome
There’s no performance here — just room to breathe, reset and begin again.
I work at the intersection of neurodivergence and systems in transition.
When environments overwhelm nervous systems, people disengage — not from lack of capacity, but from structural mismatch.
I stabilise that space.
Through advocacy, practical systems, and capacity-aware design, I make forward movement manageable again.
Not therapy.
Not hype.
Structural support that works.
Hi, I’m Michelle — and I work differently on purpose.
I bring together lived experience, strategic thinking, practical life admin support, advocacy, and creative rebuilding.
I respect human limits. I work with nervous systems, not against them. I choose steadiness over urgency, clarity over noise, consent over pressure.
Here, you don’t have to perform readiness.
You can breathe.
You can regulate.
You can steady yourself.
And when you’re ready, we rebuild — in ways that honour who you are now, not who you thought or were told you had to be.
However overwhelm shows up — in your body, mind, letterbox or inbox — we’ll meet it together.
Whichever type of support you feel ready for, we’ll move with less noise and more steadiness — at your pace and in your own time.
Who I Support
Organisations
Systems, structure, and accessible design that protects capacity.
Individuals
Advocacy and practical support during life and work transitions.
Creative Confidence
DJ, dance, and presence-building through structured, supportive learning.
How I Work
I scale things back, reduce noise, and translate what’s happening across life, work, and relationships. Then we rebuild with structure that fits your processing style — not against it.
This is structured, relational support designed to restore steadiness and sustainable momentum.
People usually engage privately or through referral.
If that suits you, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Who I Also Work Alongside
I also work alongside the wider circle, including:
• Parents and partners
• Carers and supporters
• Referrers and professionals
• Community organisations
Creating shared clarity, steadier communication, and aligned next steps.
My Services
Support for both business systems and personal life admin — depending on what you’re navigating.
When responsibility outgrows the capacity holding it, everything begins to strain.
This is for you if:
-
You are holding significant responsibility alone
-
You are the final decision-maker in complex environments
-
Governance or safeguarding pressure feels heavy
-
You are leading while personally depleted
This is not business coaching.
It is structured, relational co-pilot support.
What This Work Does
We stabilise the leader first — creating space to think clearly, reduce pressure, and regain grounded decision capacity.
Together, we:
-
Untangle decision pressure
-
Map responsibility and risk
-
Clarify governance strain
-
Contain safeguarding complexity
-
Reset capacity boundaries
When leadership stabilises, everything downstream becomes more sustainable.
How It Works
-
1:1 structured sessions
-
Confidential, relational space
-
Capacity-aware pacing
-
Practical clarity and next steps
What It Leads To
-
Clearer decision-making
-
Reduced overwhelm
-
Strengthened governance confidence
-
Sustainable leadership pacing
-
Stabilised direction
The Next Step
If you’re carrying responsibility without containment, start with a stabilisation conversation.
When systems feel confusing, inaccessible, or overwhelming, steady support matters.
I provide relational advocacy and life navigation for late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed, and presenting neurodivergent adults — particularly those navigating services, employment systems, recovery, and major life transitions.
My role is to ensure you feel heard, represented, and able to move forward without pressure or loss of autonomy.
Calm. Clear. Protective.
Support May Include

Meeting preparation and communication support
-
Understanding rights, processes, and available options
-
Navigating benefits, employment pathways, and Access to Work
-
Support with forms, paperwork, and digital systems
-
Bridging communication across services, workplaces, and families
Steady, non-rushed guidance — grounded in the protection of your identity, health, and lived experience.
How It Works
-
60-minute 1:1 sessions
-
Structured support packages where appropriate
-
Referrals and self-referrals welcomed
What It Leads To
-
Greater clarity around rights, options, and next steps
-
Reduced overwhelm when engaging with systems
-
Stronger advocacy voice and representation
-
Increased confidence navigating services and processes
-
Stabilised engagement with work, funding, or recovery pathways
The Next Step
If systems feel too heavy to navigate alone, you don’t have to face them without support.
