High-quality specialist autism and ADHD coaching for neurodivergent employees in professional jobs

Harness the power of neurodiversity in your team and organisation

Welcome, thanks for your interest in working with me.

I’m excited to explore how professional coaching and mentoring can support your neurodivergent employees.

Why to choose me

About Me

My name is Alicja (‘A-lee-tsya’) Nocon,

I help neurodivergent professionals thrive at work and redefine themselves following a late-in-life diagnosis of autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions.

In my work as a coach, I draw onto:

My corporate experience: Prior to creating Expand the Circle, I enjoyed a diverse career as a Consulting Actuary (FIA CERA) for 10 years. Working in various roles across consulting, insurance and reinsurance (pricing, R&D, group reporting, risk function) gave me an insight into different business models and organisational and team cultures.
My professional qualifications: I’m accredited with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council at the Senior Practitioner level (see the certificate here) and have a Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London (2021, Distinction).
My own lived experience: As well as the experiences of my coaching clients (always shared anonymously and with permission).

The process

The following are included as standard:

A complimentary 30-45 minute chemistry session with the coachee (and line manager / HR sponsor)
A copy of all psycho-educational materials and worksheets used in sessions
Recommendation of further resources to engage with, tailored to coachee’s needs and learning preferences
Personalised actions and strategies so the coachee can continue the work between sessions
Regular evaluation of coachee’s progress, through online questionnaires (can be shared with line manager / sponsor throughout the partnership)
Email support between sessions
A closing report with a recommendation of next steps

Note:

Prices above apply from 1 January 2025.

To make my services more accessible, I offer discounted prices for those who wish to pay for coaching themselves (that is, where coaching is not paid by their employer or through an Access to Work (AtW) grant).

Where coaching is funded by an employer and the employer wants to be actively engaged in the process, a higher fee might apply to cover the extra time associated with drafting and managing the contract and engaging with line manager / HR sponsor.

“We got in touch with Alicja when looking to provide some specialist coaching support for a member of the team. We worked in collaboration with Alicja and our team member to agree the purpose of the coaching programme and also the desired outcomes. We were hoping to help build skills to enable our team member to attend work for a sustained period of time whilst maintaining good physical and mental health.
I really valued Alicja’s guidance during the process, and also her thoughtful way of getting me/the business to challenge our initial thoughts and approach. She was a trusted advisor to both the business and our team member during our programme with her. Alicja was very good at holding us all to account, as well, to ensure that the process was valuable for all taking part.
I wouldn’t hesitate in working with Alicja again, and would recommend her to colleagues looking for a coach with a specialism in supporting neurodivergent team members.”
— Head of HR in the Training and Technology Sector
“After six sessions with Alicja, my confidence has improved dramatically. When situations arise that previously would have sent me into a meltdown, I feel more grounded and able to bring myself back from the edge. What I value most in Alicja’s approach is her ability to know the theory and explain it, but also get me to think about how to implement it. “
— Lizzie, Autistic and ADHD Law Professional
“Coaching with Alicja gave me space to reflect.
I have built my personal and professional identity on being a flawed neurotypical individual, when I need to build it on being neurodivergent. I hadn’t appreciated how much this had had an impact on my professional life, as well as my personal one. I have always felt strong imposter syndrome at work, but now I am beginning to reframe my professional identity around my lived experience. This process has helped me begin to see how to do that, and how I can begin to reframe my mindset.”
— Holly, manager with ADHD in the Charity Sector
