Workplace Neurodiversity Training
Neurodiversity training and coaching for organisations that want to better support
neurodivergent employees, improve performance, and reduce burnout.
Why this work matters
Most organisations are trying to do the right thing when it comes to neurodiversity.
Policies are in place.
Awareness is improving.
Managers want to be supportive.
And yet, challenges still show up you find capable employees struggling with consistency, there
are communication breakdowns and sometimes even performance concerns that don’t quite
make sense.
You might have individuals burning out despite doing “everything right”.
Most organisations aren’t struggling with intent. They’re struggling with knowing what to
actually do in practice.
A shift in approach
Many organisations assume the goal is helping someone with ADHD or another neurodivergence
fit the existing system more effectively.
But neuroinclusion starts with curiosity, not correction. When managers become curious about
how someone thinks, communicates, and processes information, the focus shifts.
From: “How do we get this person to work differently?”
To: “How might we adjust the environment to support them so they can work at their best?”
That shift is where meaningful change happens.
What I provide
I work with organisations in three main ways:
My work sits at the intersection of:
-
Psychology
-
Lived experience
-
And over 20 years in operational and business support roles
I understand both sides.
What it feels like to be the employee trying to keep up, working in a system that isn’t designed for my neurotype. And what it feels like to be the manager responsible for performance, delivery,
and team wellbeing.
This means the work is practical not just theoretical.
-
Grounded in real workplace dynamics
-
Focused on what actually works day-to-day
What managers often say
after sessions
“I hadn’t realised how much invisible
effort was involved.”
“This has completely changed how I think
about performance.”
“I feel more confident having these
conversations now.”
Improved communication and clarity.
More consistent performance.
Reduced burnout and overwhelm.
Increased confidence in managers.
More effective use of Access to Work support.
This isn’t about lowering expectations. It’s about creating the conditions for people to meet
them more consistently.

ABOUT ME
I’m Sarah Hardy — an EMCC Accredited ADHD and neurodiversity coach, workshop facilitator,
and business support specialist.
I’m a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society and currently completing an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching.
I’ve worked across operational roles for over 20 years, alongside my coaching work, which
means I understand the realities of deadlines, performance expectations, and team
dynamics.
I work with organisations, managers, and neurodivergent professionals to bridge the gap
between understanding and practical support.
My work focuses on executive functioning, communication, and creating environments where people can perform at their best without burning out.
Feedback
“It reframed a lot of what we were seeing as performance issues.
Understanding executive functioning and the ‘invisible workload’ has changed how we approach support, and we’re already seeing more consistency as a result.”
Learning & Development Manager, Healthcare Sector
“The guidance around Access to Work Support Workers was incredibly valuable. We hadn’t realised how easily support roles can become diluted if they’re not structured properly. Having clarity on how best to use that support effectively has made a noticeable difference for both the PA and the staff member they support.”

Working with Sarah has been an exceptionally positive experience. Their ability to understand what I meant in my neurodivergent mind, combined with a clear and structured approach, has made a significant difference to me. Sarah brings professionalism and insight to every session. Their ability to translate strategies into practical, sustainable actions has helped me make meaningful progress in areas I had put on the back burner for years. I have felt consistently supported, respected, and understood throughout our work together. I would highly recommend their coaching to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely effective support.

Sarah's coaching went beyond just ADHD tips - she helped me understand patterns I'd been stuck in and learn to trust my own judgment again. She's flexible, genuinely understands neurodivergence, and balances practical tools with deeper insights. Highly recommend.

I can honestly say as a late diagnosed neurodivergent woman in my early 30s, working with Sarah has been the most helpful thing I’ve ever done for my brain. I have a long history of trying different kinds of therapy to better my mental health. Nothing has ever helped on the long run, so I decided to give coaching a go. I’ve heard of it before but wasn’t sure it’d work for me - I was wrong, this was THE ONLY thing that has ever worked! Sarah has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and caring from the start. We’ve set a coaching “goal” together and identified my strengths and weaknesses, which was invaluable as now I can apply this knowledge in my daily life and work on making more intentional decisions that honour my neurodivergent needs. We “co-created” our sessions, which was really refreshing; I had the space and time to talk about anything, ask questions, seek advice, etc. This has really worked for my ADHD. For the first time, I felt someone truly understood my challenges and helped me work through them. Most importantly, she gave me a safe space to my true self and I could freely unmask during our conversations. I’ve learnt so much and I cannot wait to continue our sessions - thank you!

Sarah's group coaching sessions helped me learn how to ask for autistic accommodations at work, and learn tips and tricks on different kinds of accommodations to try out for myself to make my working life easier.

I had 10 coaching sessions with Sarah, who led each one with curiosity, empathy and patience. She offered thoughtful, reflective perspectives, especially when my RSD was kicking in. The space Sarah created helped me feel seen and understood. Her approach gave me clarity and confidence, and her gentle encouragement helped me reconnect with my strengths. These sessions weren’t just helpful, they were transformative. Sarah’s depth of knowledge and the resources she shared were invaluable and undoubtedly supported me on my journey. I’ve already recommended her sessions to others. Absolutely brilliant.
