Independent Support Advocacy

Helping you speak up, be heard, and get the support you deserve

As a supportive advocate, I support neurodivergent people like me, and the parents and carers of ND children and young people (again, like me!) to express their needs, understand their rights, and navigate systems that can often feel overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with workplace challenges, job centres, education providers, housing, or healthcare appointments—you're not alone. As someone who is autistic myself and who has on many occasions needed an advocate, I understand how important the support can be from someone who 'gets it'.

What I Can Help With

Preparing for and attending important meetings (e.g. with employers, schools, GPs, university staff, EHCP's, tribunals- non legal or clinical service, only support advocacy)
Requesting reasonable adjustments or accommodations
Writing letters or emails that clearly express your needs
Understanding official processes and your rights (non-legal)
Supporting you to self-advocate with confidence
Being a calm, informed presence who can relate to your experiences, when you feel unheard or overwhelmed
Helping you to articulate yours or your child's needs in writing if this is something you find challenging.

What This Is Not

I do not offer legal advice, therapy, or regulated statutory advocacy. Instead, I provide trusted, informal support as someone who understands how difficult these systems can be—especially for neurodivergent minds.

Who This Is For

Autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic or otherwise neurodivergent adults
Parents or carers of ND individuals who need support navigating services
People who are struggling to communicate their needs to professionals or institutions
