Neurodiversity coaching · UK & worldwide
Whether your child/teen has a diagnosis, is undergoing assessment, or you simply sense they may be neurodivergent — practical, personalised coaching that works with their brain, not against it.
Conditions supported
Every programme is built entirely around the individual — because no two neurodivergent young people are the same.
Not an exhaustive list. If your child's condition isn't listed, please apply — Annette will let you know whether she can help.
What parents describe
"I never thought I'd see the day when my son would eat something beyond his usual 'beige' foods. As a parent of a 12-year-old with autism, mealtimes had transformed into daily battlegrounds. Then we found Annette at CHAMPS Academy. Rather than applying pressure, she introduced a fun food challenge that sparked my son's interest in trying new foods. I nearly fell off my chair when he voluntarily tasted a bright red tomato! For the first time in years, we look forward to mealtimes."
"As a task throughout the week we have been working on our son calling us Mum and Dad instead of our first names. This week — for the first time since he was two years old — he has called us Mum and Dad. It was an emotional moment for us."
The application takes five minutes. Annette reads every one personally and responds within 24–48 hours.

About your coach
Specialist neurodiversity coach · 20+ years
The goal has never been to fix a neurodivergent mind. It should be to understand it, work with it, and give the young person the tools to flourish within it. The S.P.E.C.T.R.M® process and EBR methodology grew from over two decades of working directly with neurodivergent children and teenagers — learning what actually works in real life.
My approach is practical, personalised, and built around the individual. No two neurodivergent young people are the same. No two programmes should be either.

Annette had the privilege of interviewing Tom Stoltman about his journey growing up with autism. His story is a powerful reminder that neurodivergence is not a limitation — it can fuel extraordinary achievements.

Neurodiversity coaching supports children and teenagers who think, process and experience the world differently — including ADHD, ASC, AuDHD, dyslexia and executive functioning challenges. Coaching focuses on practical skills so your child can cope better at school, socially and at home. Sessions use the proprietary S.P.E.C.T.R.M® process.
Yes. A formal diagnosis is not required. Coaching is often a helpful and proactive first step when a child shows traits linked to ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent conditions.
Coaching is not therapy. It is forward-focused and practical — helping your child develop skills, strategies and confidence for real-life situations. Annette uses the EBR process alongside S.P.E.C.T.R.M® to equip both the young person and their parents with tools they can use immediately.
Coaching is offered to children and teenagers from around 8 to 19 years old. Support is always tailored to the child's developmental stage, personality and specific challenges.
Yes, in a supportive way. Sessions are one-to-one with your child or teen, but parents receive practical guidance through Annette's EBR process to apply at home between sessions.
Absolutely. Coaching helps them understand what is happening in their brain and body and gives them tools to feel more in control. This is one of the most common starting points for families approaching CHAMPS Academy.
