Access to Work Coaching & Neurodiversity Workplace Support

Starting a career in counselling is a rewarding choice that offers both professional stability and the chance to help others. In the UK, there is a high demand for qualified therapists across many different sectors.

Helping Neurodivergent People Thrive at Work

At Insight Therapies, we believe that meaningful employment should be accessible to everyone. We provide specialist workplace coaching and consultancy for autistic and neurodivergent adults, supporting individuals to build confidence, develop practical strategies, and achieve long-term success in their careers.

Our services are suitable for individuals who have been awarded funding through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Access to Work scheme, as well as employers seeking expert neurodiversity support for their workforce. Access to Work funding can provide tailored coaching and workplace support that complements the reasonable adjustments already provided by an employer.

Why Choose Insight Therapies?

What makes Insight Therapies different is the combination of clinical knowledge, real-world experience, and specialist autism expertise. Unlike general workplace coaches, our support is informed by extensive experience working across autism services, education, mental health and employment support. This allows us to understand not only the individual but also the wider systems and environments that influence workplace success.

Our approach combines:

  • Specialist knowledge of autism and neurodiversity
  • Therapeutic understanding of mental health and wellbeing
  • Practical workplace coaching strategies
  • Experience supporting autistic adults across a wide range of needs
  • Collaborative work with employers and multidisciplinary professionals
  • Evidence-based, neuro-affirming practice that recognises difference rather than deficit

We understand that successful employment is about far more than productivity; it’s about creating workplaces where people can genuinely thrive.

Together we identify practical strategies that reduce barriers, build on strengths and improve wellbeing at work. Our aim is to empower individuals to work in ways that are authentic, sustainable and successful.

At Insight Therapies, I bring together specialist clinical knowledge, extensive autism experience and practical workplace understanding to provide support that is genuinely personalised, neuro-affirming and evidence-based.

What Makes My Coaching Different?

I don’t simply offer workplace advice; I help people understand how they work best. My coaching considers the whole person, including:

  • Executive functioning & Sensory processing
  • Energy management and avoiding autistic burnout
  • Mental health, wellbeing, and occupational balance
  • Confidence, self-advocacy, and communication styles
  • Workplace environments and daily routines

This holistic approach enables sustainable employment rather than short-term solutions. Whether you are starting your first job, returning to work after burnout, navigating a recent autism diagnosis or progressing within your career, coaching is tailored to your individual strengths, goals and challenges.
