ABOUT
Hello there, I’m Helen Lindop. Nice to meet you!
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life since I started out as an IT trainer in the 1990s, including further education, the public and private sectors.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve taught employability courses for adults aged 19-70 at a further education college, mentored and provided study skills support for autistic university students for Randstad and I ran my own email marketing business.
Email marketing underpins many activities of small businesses and so with some clients I discussed their business strategy, sales, websites and other areas as well as their emails.
As time went by, I found I was working with more and more neurodivergent people both in education and in my own business, and mentoring was the part I enjoyed the most.
Which is why I’m now a mentor for neurodivergent solo and independent business owners.
My IT training roots mean I’m confident in helping clients to use technology in an effective and human way, including AI tools.
