Neurodiversity Training, Coaching and Supervision in Cardiff, South Wales and Across the UK
I provide neurodiversity training, workplace strategy coaching, executive function coaching, and neuro-affirming professional supervision for organisations and professionals across Cardiff, South Wales, and the UK.
Using my CONNECTS Model, I help managers, teams, and practitioners better understand neurodiversity, improve communication, support wellbeing, and create inclusive environments where people can thrive.
Whether you are looking for neurodiversity awareness training, workplace coaching, or professional supervision, I offer practical, strengths-based support tailored to your needs.
Neurodivergent employees bring valuable strengths, including:
- Creativity and innovation
- Problem-solving skills
- Curiosity and analytical thinking
- Empathy
- Big-picture thinking
While challenges with organisation, focus, transitions, and time management can increase stress and fatigue, simple neuro-friendly adjustments enable managers to improve wellbeing, reduce workplace stress, and help employees perform at their best.

Improved understanding has a ripple effect that leads to better communication.

Supervision:
" I ve had Fiona as a supervisor for a few years now and have always been able to be really open in sessions. I find the sessions really productive and often come away with an action plan for what needs to happen next, usually things I’d not thought to consider myself, which really helps take the stress off things I’m worrying about. –
Chloe, Team leader Victim Support
Coaching:
“I can't express how grateful I am for the help and support I have received from Fiona. It has made such a difference! I now have a better understanding of my needs and strategies that help my work life. Thank you so much, Fiona—you have helped more than you will ever know.”
— Dr. Cheryl Bullion, Clinical Psychologist, Mind
Training:
“Great overview! It got me thinking about my team, how we work, new members to the team, and how reasonable measures can be made. The assistive technology information was useful.”
