HELEN LINDOP
Coaching for neurodivergent people in small business and higher education
Hello
Becoming your own boss can give you the freedom that employment doesn’t, but if you’re neurodivergent it can bring other challenges, such as:
- Planning, prioritising and breaking down bigger goals into manageable steps.
- Marketing methods like networking and social media can feel fake or overwhelming.
- Fear of rejection, difficulty saying ‘no’, undercharging, scope creep.
- Issues with focus – hyperfocus, procrastination, difficulty switching tasks.
- Loneliness, feeling different or not understood.
I can help you break projects down into practical, actionable steps, then get started on tasks and follow them through to completion. I can also help you identify the apps, systems and marketing methods that work for you, saving you time, effort and stress.

I also work as a specialist mentor and study skills specialist for autistic students in higher education (undergraduate to PhD levels). To access this type of support at no charge to you, please contact the Disabled Students’ Service at your university who will help you get funding using Disabled Student Allowance.
Neurodivergence is the term for when someone’s brain processes, learns, and/or behaves differently from what is considered typical and can include dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. I work with people who are diagnosed, undiagnosed, self-diagnosed, have only some neurodivergent traits or are neurotypical and just like my style.
