What is Coaching?
Specialist coaching for Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism and related conditions.
We are the only team of Specialist Coaches with relevant qualifications and first hand personal experience of living with Autism/ADHD and related conditions providing support in the Hertfordshire area.
We provide you with a confidential and professional service, with a healthy dose of parental experience thrown in. We are non-judgmental, supportive and adaptable, we want the plans and strategies to work for you and your situation. If something doesn’t work then we’ll try again.
In a nutshell – coaching moves you from where you are now to where you want to be.
