Autism Coaching
Coaching that works with your brain
Autism can impact how we experience the world.
Whether you're a teen feeling overwhelmed by sensory input or social pressure, a young adult navigating routines, independence, or burnout, an adult to better understand yourself and how you move through the world, or a parent supporting someone with autism - this is a space where you can feel seen, supported, and understood.
Autism coaching is about building awareness, self-compassion, and simple strategies that work with your brain.
Together, we explore what’s getting in the way and uncover strengths you may not even realise you have.

For Parents, Teens, and Young Adults With (or Exploring) Autism
Autism coaching is all about understanding how your brain works and creating strategies and systems that fit. Together, we build self-awareness, identify strategies to manage emotional ups and downs, and find practical tools for routines, motivation and follow-through - always tailored to your individual needs.
Clients can self-book or attend following a referral from a psychologist, psychiatrist, GP, or other health professional. However, no referral is required, and an Autism diagnosis is not necessary to begin coaching.
Some of the areas we might explore in Autism coaching include:
Understanding how autism shows up day-to-day - sensory sensitivity, social energy, routines, or communication
Emotional regulation and navigating overwhelm or shutdown
Building routines that support your energy and reduce unpredictability
Managing transitions, change, and uncertainty
Strengthening executive function - planning, organising, and following through
Identifying and expressing needs and boundaries
Supporting relationship dynamics at home, school, or work
Reducing masking and reconnecting with your natural ways of being
Exploring identity, values, and what makes life feel meaningful
Developing self-trust and gentle ways to support motivation and focus
Every session is shaped by what matters most to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you’re a teen, a young adult, or a parent, coaching is always a calm, collaborative space to explore, learn, and experiment with what works best for your brain and your life.
I’m an accredited coach with experience supporting autistic teens, young adults, and adults - grounded in training in emotional wellbeing, ADHD, and trauma-informed practice, and shaped by lived experience as a parent. I understand the many layers that can come with supporting an autistic teen or young adult, especially while managing your own responsibilities, emotions, and questions along the way.
My coaching combines neuroscience, lived insight, and practical strategies to support real-life challenges - in a way that feels steady, respectful, and manageable.
Whether you’re here for yourself, your teen, or your young adult, you’ll find support that honours your experience and supports you at your pace.
Autism coaching is a space to be seen, understood, and supported in a way that truly fits you.
If you're curious, I offer a free intro call so we can explore whether this is the right next step for you.
There’s no pressure - just a conversation to help you decide what’s right for where you are now.
Here for government-funded Job Access Coaching?
Coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative process that helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward the life and relationships you want. Unlike therapy or counselling, which often explore past experiences to support healing, coaching is about where you are now and where you want to go.
As an accredited ICF coach and ADHD coach, I work with parents, teens, young adults, and families to navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and tap into practical strategies that support growth, communication, and wellbeing.
Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions but can complement other support really well.
Coaching is for anyone navigating a challenge, feeling stuck, or wanting more clarity or connection in everyday life.
If you're a parent wanting to feel more confident, a teen or young adult seeking direction, or a family looking for better communication, coaching offers a safe space to explore what's going on and move forward with support.
Each session is tailored to your goals. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what simple, practical strategies could help.
You won't be told what to do, but you will be supported in finding what works best for you.
Absolutely. I offer a free 15-minute intro call so we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether coaching is the right fit. There’s no pressure - just a chance to connect and explore your next steps.

Both. I am happy to work with you individually or together depending on your needs.

Coaching sessions are priced to reflect the time, care, and personalised support you receive - while remaining approachable for busy individuals and families.
Most ongoing sessions are $160 for 45 minutes, with first sessions at $200 for 60 minutes to give us more space to explore your goals.
Family sessions, which are longer and more in-depth, are usually $260 for 75–90 minutes.
I also offer multi-session packages at a reduced rate if you're looking for ongoing support. We can talk through the best option for your needs during your free intro call - there’s no pressure, just a chance to find the right fit for you or your family.
Most ongoing coaching sessions are 45 minutes, which allows time to explore challenges, build insight, and create practical next steps - without feeling overwhelming.
Many clients (especially parents, teens, young adults, and those with ADHD) find that this focused, manageable length works well with busy lives and attention spans.
First sessions are typically 60 minutes, giving us extra space to get to know each other, clarify your goals, and lay the foundations for our work together.
For family coaching or more in-depth sessions, we may schedule 75–90 minutes depending on your needs.
If you’re ever unsure what’s right for you, we’ll talk it through and find the right fit.
To ensure you get the results you are looking for, I recommend weekly sessions for the first four sessions, moving to fortnightly or monthly after that depending on your needs. This will ensure you get the results you want faster. However, this is flexible depending on your individual circumstances.
Yes. All coaching sessions are currently offered online via Telehealth (Zoom), making it easy and flexible to access support no matter where you're located. I work with clients across Australia and beyond.
Yes—if something comes up between sessions, you’re welcome to reach out via text or email for brief check-ins or questions.
For Autism coaching, I also offer optional accountability support between sessions. This can include scheduled check-ins (by message or email) to help you stay on track with specific goals or action steps we’ve set together. It’s flexible, encouraging, and tailored to what works best for you.
That’s a common question. Sometimes the best place to start is with the parent, other times with the teen or young adult. We can talk through this in our free intro call and find a path that feels right for your family.
Yes. I often work with parents and their children in separate individual sessions. This creates space for each person’s experience while allowing for growth in the parent-child dynamic as a whole.
Alternatively we can explore the family coaching option together if that meets your needs better.
Teen coaching focuses more on emotional regulation, identity, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Young adult coaching generally supports those navigating independence, life choices, pressure to “figure it out,” and developing a stronger sense of direction.
Not at all. Coaching can be helpful whether you’ve been formally diagnosed, suspect Autism, or are supporting someone who is neurodivergent. The focus is on understanding your unique brain and building strategies that support your day-to-day life.
Autism coaching focuses specifically on areas that tend to be challenging for Autistic brains - like sensory regulation, routines, emotional overwhelm, transitions, and communication.
It’s tailored to how your brain works, using a strengths-based, neuroscience-informed approach that helps you better understand yourself and build tools that work in daily life.
I work with teens, young adults, and parents - either with Autism themselves or parenting someone who is neurodivergent. The coaching process is always tailored to your age, goals, and lived experience.
Absolutely. Coaching can help parents build greater understanding, reduce frustration, and find new ways to support their child while looking after their own emotional wellbeing too.
Yes - if you’ve been diagnosed with Autism and are currently employed (including part-time or casual work), you may be eligible for government-funded coaching support through Job Access, an Australian Government initiative.
To qualify, you need to:
Have a formal Autism diagnosis
Be working at least 8 hours per week (in a paid role, including casual or part-time)
Need support that helps you perform your job more effectively or sustainably
This funding can cover coaching or strategy support related to:
Managing sensory input and overwhelm in the workplace
Building routines that support energy and reduce fatigue
Navigating social and communication expectations at work
Planning, organisation, and follow-through on tasks
Emotional regulation and stress management
Developing systems that reduce cognitive load and support consistency
Building confidence in self-advocacy and communicating needs
You or your employer can apply directly through the Job Access website. The process includes:
Completing an online application or calling the Job Access hotline
Providing confirmation of your diagnosis and employment
A coaching quote and support plan from your chosen coach
I’ll prepare the documentation required from the coach - including a quote and a written plan that outlines how coaching will support your work-related goals.
You’ll need to provide your own supporting information, like proof of employment and your diagnosis.
You do not need to involve your employer or disclose your diagnosis unless you choose to.
No. While coaching may be coordinated with your employer (especially if they’re providing support), individuals can also apply directly without any involvement with your employer.
I ask for 48 hours notice to change or cancel an appointment to give me time to find someone else to fill your place.
Yes - coaching sessions are confidential. I provide a safe, private space for you to talk openly without judgment.
If you are a teen or young adult, what’s shared in coaching stays between us, unless you give me permission to share something with a parent or caregiver. The only exception is if I have serious concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else and I would discuss the next steps with you first wherever possible.
For parents: while I won’t share specific details of what your teen or young adult talks about, I can support you in understanding how to strengthen communication and connection at home.
