Coaching for ADHD, autism and AuDHD
Many people with ADHD are also autistic, and advice written for ADHD alone does not always fit. Jess coaches ADHD, autism and AuDHD, so your sessions reflect how they work together in your life and your job.
- ADHD, autism and AuDHD, not ADHD alone
- Jess has ADHD herself, and trained in psychology, counselling and autism
- Part of a specialist clinic that assesses and treats ADHD and autism

Your Best Work
A structured coaching programme for ADHD, autistic and AuDHD professionals. Over three phases you learn how your brain works at work, build systems that suit it, and leave with a plan that lasts. Tap any session to see what it covers.
Understand how you work
Make sense of what has been hard, and why.
Your work profile
Where work flows and where it gets stuck, what you want to change, and what a good week would look like for you.
Your ADHD, autism or AuDHD at work
How attention, sensory needs, communication style and motivation show up in your role, and where masking costs you most.
Energy, capacity and burnout
What drains you and what restores you, so you can plan your week around the energy you really have and stop running on empty.
Work with your brain
Practical strategies, tested in your real week.
Strengths and values
Find what you do well and what matters to you, and use it more on purpose in your role.
Executive functioning
Planning, prioritising, starting tasks, time and working memory. We build simple systems and adjust them until they stick.
Communication and relationships
Meetings, feedback, boundaries and working well with your manager and colleagues.
Environment and adjustments
Sensory needs, tools and reasonable adjustments that help you do your best work, and how to ask for them.
Make it last
Confidence and habits that hold up when work gets busy.
Stress, emotions and resilience
Ways to handle pressure, change and setbacks, and to recover faster when things go wrong.
Confidence and self-advocacy
Recognise your value, explain what you need clearly, and ask for it with confidence.
Your Best Work plan
Bring it all together into a written plan you keep, so your progress carries on after coaching ends.
Your award decides how many sessions you have. We agree the order and focus with you at the start, so a shorter award goes on the areas that will make the biggest difference.

Jess Sweet
I get ADHD because I have ADHD.
Jess has ADHD herself, and she knows what it is like to be told, again and again, to just try harder.
- The struggleLiving with ADHD every dayShe found the everyday demands of ADHD hard, and tried medication.
- The searchFinding what else could helpShe explored nutrition and practical techniques, training her own attention and habits.
- What workedAn approach that fitsShe built a way of working that meant she no longer needed medication, and now coaches others from that experience.
This is her own path, not a recommendation. Medication is the right support for many people, and decisions about it stay with you and your prescriber.
Your sessions are coaching, not therapy, but Jess’s therapy training shapes how she listens.

Questions about Access to Work coaching
Who pays the invoices?
Usually your employer pays our monthly invoice and claims the money back from Access to Work. If you are self-employed, you pay and claim it back yourself. We will talk this through on your intro call.
I am self-employed. How does it work?
You claim from Access to Work directly. We can invoice a few sessions at a time, so you are never far out of pocket, and give you everything the claim needs.
My award letter does not name AuDHD Psychiatry. Can I still use it?
Access to Work awards usually fund a type of support rather than a named provider. If you are unsure, mention it on your free intro call and we will check what your award covers before you commit.
How long do I have to use my award?
Your letter shows a start and end date. Sessions need to take place within those dates, so we plan them to fit.
Is coaching therapy?
No. Coaching focuses on practical strategies for work and daily life. It is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment.
Do I need a diagnosis?
Access to Work decides eligibility. You do not need to have been assessed by us to have coaching with Jess.
