Simon...

​

Hello. I am a late (very late!) diagnosed AuDHDer (Autistic and ADHD combined) Life Coach and holistic therapist.  

After nearly twenty years working with holistic therapies and coaching, I was seeking more knowledge as a parent... only to discover, totally unexpectedly, my own neurodivergent mind. And suddenly, so much made sense; the choices, the repeated patterns and behaviours, hidden emotions and struggles... all the way back to school... even parenting and the family dynamics. I was assessed and diagnosed, and began coming to terms with a completely new (and slightly bewildering) sense of self and awareness... and with it, I found a new passion, a new 'special interest'... the neurodivergent mind!

So I refocussed my coaching... hyper focussed in fact... added a ton of new training and ever ongoing research... 

​

I have found craniosacral therapy invaluable, and hugely beneficial with this newer self discovery... its orientation to the inner body, the energetic being, to stillness and to calming the nervous system. My experience and practice of this work continues to underpin much of my life and this has only deepened since realising a neurodivergent perspective on the world.

​

Before any of this... I had a masters degree in music and a life wearing many hats navigating the high seas of the music and theatre industries. Until a mystery illness, undiagnosed at the time, left me struggling to control speech and mobility and I was in a wheelchair for three years. Finding no answers at the time within conventional medicine, but encouraged by an enlightened consultant psychologist, it was this experience that took me along a path exploring and studying holistic therapies; homeopathy (with Dr Yubraj Sharma), craniosacral therapy (with Franklyn Sills), hypnotherapy (with Dr Keith Hearne), coaching (with Jamie Smart), spiritual life coaching, and (ongoing) studies in IFS (Online Circle with Richard Schwartz). It was many years later I understood that what I had experienced was profound autistic burnout. It has gifted me riches unimagined.

​

My work focus now is supporting neurodivergent adults and families (often newly diagnosed OR self realised both Autism and ADHD) and as co-creator and mentor for The Natural Wellness Academy's - Certified Adult Neurodivergence Life Coach course, as well as continuing work as Holistic Coach and Craniosacral Therapist (including regular clinics working with people with life limiting conditions). 

​

Coaching work is predominantly online, but I am based in central London (UK) for in-person sessions (eg craniosacral) at Light Centre, Marylebone, London W1.

​

For those seeking a deeper inner life focus, I am also a Certified Spiritual Life Coach.
