Morwenna Stewart
About Morwenna
Whether you’re self-diagnosed or formally diagnosed neurodivergent, you can feel intense emotions or burnout. You might not know your strengths or how to manage your energy.

Morwenna’s with you all the way – as an AuDHDer herself, parent to an ND adult, and her experience with hundreds of clients.
Morwenna loves to help you explore identity, strengths, struggles and even any painful bits. Tears and laughter are normal in coaching, but Morwenna prevents sessions from becoming counselling or unfocused chat, and instead keeps you moving towards your goals. Morwenna maintains ethics, boundaries and concrete outcomes, while allowing real emotions and even fun!
