Work with Agnes · Schools, workplaces & organisations

Neuroaffirming training that changes what people actually do.

Practical training, consultancy and speaking for schools, workplaces, organisations and professional teams who want more than awareness.

I work at the point where neurodivergence meets real life: capacity, communication, burnout, masking, demand, sensory load, executive functioning and the gap between what someone appears able to do and what it actually costs them.

What I help organisations change

Awareness is not useful if nothing changes afterwards.

My work is designed to help teams recognise what they are missing, understand why standard approaches can fail, and make practical changes to communication, expectations, environment and support.

Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD experiences that are easily misread
Fluctuating capacity and inconsistent access to skills
Masking, hidden effort, burnout and recovery cost
Sensory and communication needs
Executive functioning without moral judgement
Demand, autonomy and pressure
School and workplace environments that unintentionally increase load
Support that works in real life, not only on paper

Choose the right starting point

Clear scope. Practical outcomes.

Start with the smallest package likely to do the job.

01 · A focused introduction

Capacity & Burnout Briefing

From £795

60–75 minutes · virtual

For teams that need a clear, practical introduction to neurodivergent capacity and burnout without committing to a larger programme.

Includes: live session, Q&A, attendee handout and a one-page practical action summary.

What the briefing covers

Why visible capability can hide an unsustainable cost
Why capacity can change dramatically across days and environments
How overload, masking and executive demand interact
Why “they did it yesterday” is often poor evidence of current capacity
Practical changes that reduce unnecessary load

Best for schools, charities, professional groups, managers, support teams and organisations beginning this work.

02 · Turn understanding into practice

Neuroaffirming Practice Workshop

From £1,495

Half-day · virtual or in person by quote

For teams who already understand the basic language and need to change practice.

We work through the situations that usually cause friction: communication breakdown, apparent inconsistency, shutdown, missed deadlines, demand, sensory overload, attendance, transitions and workload.

What is included

Half-day interactive training
Real-world scenarios
Communication and demand-reduction tools
Capacity and sensory considerations
Practical team action plan
Selected COTS resources for internal use

03 · For primary & secondary settings

School Neuroaffirming Package

From £1,495

Staff understanding connected to everyday school life

For schools that want staff understanding tied directly to classroom, pastoral and attendance practice.

Tailored to your setting, with staff training, selected school resources, practical support prompts and one follow-up review.

Areas we can work on

Masking and missed presentations
Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD observation in everyday school life
Demand, behaviour and communication
Sensory and transition load
Attendance, shutdown and after-school collapse

This work is not diagnostic assessment. It helps staff notice patterns more accurately, reduce avoidable friction and improve support conversations.

04 · Training with follow-through

Neuroaffirming Implementation Package

From £2,495

A structured piece of work for your organisation

For organisations that do not want training to disappear into a folder after the session.

Discovery and scoping session
Tailored training workshop
Practical resource pack
Implementation action framework
Defined internal-use licence for included materials
Follow-up review of what has changed and what is still getting stuck

Suitable for employers, charities, education settings and services.

Discuss implementation

Speaking, panels & events

Bring the lived experience into the conversation.

I speak on AuDHD, adult identification, masking, burnout, capacity, neuroaffirming support and the lived gap between appearing capable and being sustainably supported.

Keynote or conference talk
Panel contribution or author conversation
Podcast or media interview
Staff or community event

Fees are quoted by event, preparation, audience size, travel and usage requirements.

Invite Agnes to speak

Defined consultancy

A clear problem. An agreed scope.

For work that does not fit neatly into a training package, I take on defined consultancy projects where there is a clear problem to solve.

Reviewing neurodivergent-facing information or resources
Improving communication and support pathways
Reviewing school or workplace practice through a neuroaffirming lens
Translating policy into usable everyday practice
Resource and programme development

Consultancy is quoted by scope. A short fit call establishes whether I am the right person; detailed strategy and diagnostic-style review are part of paid work.

Discuss a project

Who this work is for

Shared values make practical change possible.

This is a strong fit if your organisation wants practical change, is willing to question deficit-first assumptions, and needs usable language around hidden presentations, burnout and fluctuating capacity.

Neuroaffirming practice does not mean pretending every person has the same needs. The aim is better support and environments, rather than making neurodivergent people appear more compliant or less visibly Autistic.

How it works

Tell me about the organisation, audience and problem.
I recommend the smallest package likely to do the job.
We agree scope, delivery, access needs, licence terms and fee.
Training or consultancy is delivered.
Where included, we review implementation rather than assuming the session itself solved everything.

Take the next step

Start with the problem.

If you know your team needs to work differently but you are not sure what level of support is appropriate, start with the problem rather than trying to choose the perfect package.

Start an enquiry

Training and consultancy are educational and organisational services. They do not provide diagnosis, individual clinical assessment, medical advice or a substitute for regulated professional care where that is required.
