Elisabeth Goodman
MSc in Information Science
About Elisabeth
Elisabeth works mainly with people who are neurodivergent, and especially those who are Autistic ADHDers (AuDHD) and climate / nature activists, helping clients to connect with what matters, all the possibilities available to them, what they can and want to do, and anchor that to make it happen.
She helps her clients to understand themselves, develop their self-awareness, lean into their strengths and develop strategies for their challenges. The difference between these can be particularly pronounced in spiky neurodivergent profiles.
Emma Wee
About Emma
Emma champions the resilience and self-reliance that understanding one’s own neurodiversity can bring an individual, and has seen many clients find a new sense of purpose by being able to embrace fully who they are, rather than being defined by a label. Her own neurodiversity has allowed her to thrive in different worlds of work’ because of the way her brain works, not in spite of it.
She is also keen to support women who are peri and post menopausal in giving them strategies and a space to be heard at a time of both physical and mental upheaval.
When Emma is coaching at her best…..She is like a spaghetti sorting device; able to untangle the different strands of clients’ conditions , circumstances and personality traits to unknot problems and streamline their working process and emotional resilience.
