About Us

---

Neurodiversity is an umbrella term referring to a group of neurological developmental differences which are characterised by individual variations in information processing and learning. Although definitions vary the differences are usually associated with:

Dyslexia

Dyspraxia

Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Despite well-known challenges, there are benefits in the above-mentioned conditions which the concept of Neurodiversity focuses on by attempting to celebrate the differences as variations of the human genetic norm. This reflects the current positive social trend towards celebrating differences and achieving more social inclusion. 

NeurodiversityExplained offers a coaching approach that focuses on inclusion as opposed to pathologizing and marginalising. Positive relationship is in the heart of our coaching. With the fundamentals in Positive Psychology and Mindfulness our coaching offers a fresh new perspective to deliver solution-focused individual and small group support. 

Coaching is a solution-focused, goal-oriented process that intends to facilitate movement towards the desired change in behaviour and ways of thinking. 

NeurodiversityExplained coaching aims to help clients with:

· Developing awareness of own authentic ways of being and functioning 

· Building and expanding individual's understanding of  unique strengths and needs

· Assisting with evaluation of own communication style and relational responses

· Developing an understanding of how own response patterns may present in different situations and relationships

· Facilitating a development in understating of own unique personal and professional goals and their achievement

Positive psychology is a relatively new branch in psychology that is defined as a “scientific study of virtue, meaning, resilience and wellbeing, as well as the evidence-based applications to improve the life of individuals and society in the totality of life” (Wong, 2011).

The emphasis of Positive Psychology on strengths rather than weaknesses offers more opportunities for inclusion and positive perspective of understanding differences. In this way it celebrates Neurodiversity and promotes equality and diversity. 

Positive relationships 

Relationships do not only function as those that provide support in navigating an individual through a difficulty but also the very environment that encourages one to develop authenticity and characteristics necessary for wellbeing.

In that, positive relationships are those with the tendency towards the behaviours that are motivated to achieve a need-satisfying outcome, generate positive emotions, trust, intimacy and self-expansion. 

NeurodiversityExplained is all about relationship. The relationship that nourishes authenticity and develops awareness of individual strengths. The relationship that is built on respect, empathy, knowledge and wisdom.

Why Mindfulness?

Mindfulness as the awareness that arises through paying attention in a particular way. It involves the skill of regulating individual attention and specific orientation towards one’s own unique authentic experience.

Mindfulness is one of the key ingredients of quality coaching experience. 

Our coaching incorporates both formal and informal mindfulness practices, combining the elements of Eastern and Western schools.
