Dr Azi Khatiri
zi is a Clean Language Coach and Facilitator who specialises in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ME/CFS, as well as those experiencing stress, anxiety, and menopause, to discover personalised strategies that work for their unique minds and circumstances.
Azi works with clients facing challenges such as organising, prioritising, managing competing and distracting thoughts, concentration, verbal communication, stress and anxiety management, recognising personal needs, setting boundaries, and managing workflow.
Azi’s coaching style is uniquely empowering, using Clean Language techniques that allow clients to reflect on their own experience and discover solutions that emerge from within themselves. Rather than prescribing strategies that work for others, she guides clients to uncover what will actually work for them personally. This approach is particularly effective for neurodivergent individuals who often receive well-meaning but generic advice that doesn’t fit their specific needs or circumstances.
Azi has extensive experience working with neurodivergent clients across diverse situations and challenges. Her clients achieve remarkable transformations – from avoiding overwhelming tasks to confidently managing their workload and administration, from struggling to communicate needs to successfully advocating for workplace accommodations like proper lunch breaks, and from feeling stuck to creating personalised study routines that fit their lifestyle.
As someone with lived experience of autism and chronic ME, Azi understands the daily realities of navigating the world with a different neurological makeup. However, her passion for this work stems from her ability to use Clean Language skills to help neurodivergent people live more fulfilled lives. Clients consistently report how useful their sessions have been, often leaving excited to implement their newly discovered strategies.
