1:1 Private Specialist Mentoring
I support clients on a private basis offering mentoring for improved study – learning, employment and career aspirations.
As a specialist ADHD, ASC and mental health practitioner, I provide psychoeducation support for learning more about how your condition/s affect you, helping you to develop strategies for self-awareness, self-monitoring, self-regulation (metacognition) for improved self-management; support is holistic and considers your needs on a personal, social, academic and employment basis.
This can include for example, social and communication skills, setting personal and professional boundaries, managing social and professional relationships, improved self-care.

“I simply would not have been able to complete the thesis without Lesley’s support. By the end I was really close to a mental breakdown. The strain of putting thoughts down into a written format of this length and then all the going over for comprehension and readability was greater than I had envisaged. Lesley kept supporting me to unpick my written tangles and make sense whilst remaining confident in my ability despite my increasing feeling I could not complete. What’s more she was so good at making sure she did not intervene in the theory or argument and retained a distance.”
