Neurodiverselife has been so transformative in helping me understand my ADHD… I had no idea this support was available and it is often fully funded. I highly recommend getting in touch to see how Neurodiverselife can support you.

Chantelle and her team have been beyond helpful… The coaching I have had from Pam and Chantelle has been life changing, it is so amazing to speak to professionals who actually understand what it is like to live with neurodiversity. A big thank you to Neurodiverselife.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Chantelle to deliver some INSET training to a collaboration of SENCOs, Teaching Assistants and SEN staff in the Fareham/Gosport School Cluster.

We expected it to be good quality and we were not disappointed! Chantelle interweaves pedagogy, expert knowledge and research into her high energy presentation style. Before her presentation I believed my understanding of ADHD (as a neuro-typical person) was quite good. However, Chantelle opened my eyes to a level of understanding which went above and beyond.

All of my colleagues were struck by the passion and knowledge that Chantelle brought to the training.

My only negative is that I wish MORE colleagues could have been present to share the learning journey that we had.

Chantelle’s knowledge and insight provided all colleagues involved with educational food for thought, from the policy writers and senior school leaders to the ‘boots on the ground’ teaching assistants. Chantelle’s ability to make people think can help shape real change in schools. I would strongly recommend her training to any school, irrespective of their cohort, age and make-up of students.

Thank you!

Their commitment to fostering positive change has laid the foundation for a transformative and empowering experience, and I look forward to continuing this journey with their expert guidance.

After watching Chan for so long I finally plucked up the courage to get a diagnosis and the outcome was what we expected, Chan was so supportive in every avenue with me. Not only did Chan help me with everything, I also found a lifelong friend that understands me and I’m forever thankful for her in helping me find myself again.

I first came across Neurodiverselife on TikTok and I instantly appreciated how plainly Chantelle spoke. There was no pretence or jargon - just a simple explanation… They have a well rounded approach that encompasses everything a neurodiverse person may need to navigate life by offering coaching, nutritional support, and holistic approaches through the combined knowledge of an extremely talented team.

I contacted Chantelle and from that moment on it felt like I could finally breathe! Someone was there for me and I could get coaching to help me to deal with this late diagnosis of ADHD after struggling for 48 years. If you are looking to work with NeurodiverseLIFE, you will work with people who have been there and not only understand your struggles, but offer effective ways to deal with them. I can highly recommend this company!

Claire Cowley

I reached out to Chantelle when having some difficulties after being told im AuDHD then told it’ll take 6 years to diagnose but you can have some speed if you like… Chantelle listened, understood then acted and her actions definitely helped my situation… I really appreciate the service Neurodiverselife offers and have recommended to all my fellow neurodiverse people.

I recently had the privilege of engaging in therapy sessions with Terry, and it was pretty transformative.

Right from the start, Terry's authenticity, openness, and kindness were evident. I instantly felt at ease, which is a rarity for me. Terry's genuine concern for my well-being created a feeling of safety where I felt comfortable discussing even the most challenging aspects of my life. What struck me the most was that I never once felt misunderstood or judged.

Terry has a remarkable ability to deliver difficult truths with grace and respect. While he didn't shy away from addressing tough topics, his delivery was always compassionate, demonstrating a deep understanding of my feelings and experiences. It was clear that Terry wasn't just telling me what I wanted to hear but rather what I needed to hear for my growth, something I deeply appreciate.

My experience with Terry has been incredibly positive. His authenticity, openness, and kindness have guided me to think through some tough decisions, but more importantly has reignited my willingness to help myself and I'm truly grateful for that.

If you're seeking a therapist who has overcome some of life’s most difficult hurdles themselves – someone who can genuinely resonate with your struggle and pain. Someone who creates a safe and empathetic environment while providing honest and insightful guidance, then I highly recommend Terry Devine.

Jay Khopkar Self-Mastery Testimonial

Working with Jay at NeuroDiverse Life has been an absolute revelation. As someone with ADHD, I've always struggled with self-mastery and maintaining focus. Jay’s ADHD coaching service at NeuroDiverse Life has profoundly transformed how I manage my daily life and personal goals.

Jay’s approach is both compassionate and highly effective. From our first session, he took the time to understand my unique challenges and tailored his strategies to fit my needs. The self-mastery work we did together was nothing short of life-changing. Jay introduced me to practical tools and techniques that helped me harness my strengths, manage my time more effectively, and stay organized. His consistent support and non-judgmental guidance made me feel understood and empowered.

One of the most impactful aspects of Jay’s coaching was his emphasis on accountability and sustainable progress. He helped me set realistic goals and provided the encouragement I needed to achieve them. With Jay’s help, I’ve gained a greater sense of control over my life, improved my productivity, and significantly reduced my stress levels.

I can't recommend Jay and NeuroDiverse Life enough. If you’re looking for specialized ADHD coaching that truly understands and addresses your needs, Jay’s self-mastery work is an invaluable resource. Thank you, Jay, for helping me unlock my potential and navigate life with newfound confidence!

In my primary role with TWFRS I don't spend much time teaching. I am in a unique role, where I am a manager with no employees working for me. My reason for enrolling on the course, beyond gaining a further understanding of how we deliver training, was because my 10-year-old son has fairly recently been diagnosed with Dyspraxia (DCD). I was keen to develop my understanding of dyspraxia, all areas of neurodiversity, and learn how reasonable accommodations can improve performance/interaction, both in the workplace and through life.

The training will help me as both a father, in the home, and a manager, in the workplace. I have furthered my understanding of neurodiverse needs, and my empathetic approach. I now see the benefits of adapting the ways we work to bring out the potential in others. Everyone is entitled to the same opportunities in life.

In my opinion, our Fire Service is making real worthwhile positive steps towards neurodiversity. Empowering our instructing staff to delivery quality training to all recruits and current employees, regardless of their individual needs. Through reasonable accommodations and an understanding approach, we can now support and bring the best out of our neurodiverse employees.

I believe the Service can further improve beyond the work/training that has already been done. I would recommend that the training course is provided not just to instructor staff, but to Station based Supervisory managers. This will ensure that our neurodiverse recruits’ needs continue to be met beyond the initial recruits course.

A thoroughly enjoyable training course, delivered by a vibrant, enthusiastic, but most importantly, knowledgeable trainer. I would not hesitate to advise others to undergo this training course.

WM Steven Walker - Operations Department & National Operational Guidance

at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS)

As a Learning & Development Practitioner, I am responsible for developing and nurturing working relationships with external organisations to support collaborative working and positive outcomes, undertake analysis, and identify interventions that improve performance of trainers and instructors within our training Centre, and also to consult with trainers/instructors and their managers to provide guidance, tailor individual learner interventions, and support personal and career development.

From consulting our people and analysing assessments, it became apparent for the need to be raising awareness of, and then understanding of learning languages and also neurotypes of our trainers/instructors so they can endeavour to cater for learning preferences and needs.

Chantelle from NeurodiverseLIFE enthusiastically imparted her knowledge and experience of neurotypes to our trainers/instructors within a Trainer Development day that I facilitated. As a subject matter expert, she imparted her knowledge and shared her experiences in a way that was engaging, and so the audience could easily comprehend; it was thought-provoking, and she also encouraged reflection.

Additionally, Chantelle welcomed any questions and queries that trainers had with clear answers and practicable takeaway insights and tips to positively impact our trainers’/instructors’ quality, first teaching and training in the learning/training environment. The training was extremely beneficial, and as trainers (and a previous educator myself) there is still a 'buzz' and discussion around how both enjoyable and valuable the training was within our service head quarters. We are really looking forward to welcoming Chantelle, and the rest of her team, back to our headquarters in the very near future!

Tilly Lanagan - Learning & Development Practitioner

The training session with NDL (Chantelle) addressed a growing requirement amongst training and L&D staff for greater awareness into neurodiversity and reasonable adjustments. The course was excellent and encouraged me to reflect on multiple aspects, namely:

• The learner’s responsibility to be complicit in the learning journey and the provision of any accommodating adjustments. It is not solely the responsibility of employers to provide the answers/support.

•Use of the term ‘neuroinclusive’ is a much more accommodating term, in a subject area where communication and terminology are key.

• Diagnosis of neurodiversity brings little to the table; it still remains to find accessible solutions to any barriers and challenges the neurodiversity creates.

• To receive this training from someone with lived experience of the challenges, and successes, of being neurodiverse was invaluable. It gave the session an authenticity which was tangible, and now gives me the confidence to talk openly around the subject.

I hope this signifies the beginning of a successful collaboration between our organisations as we strive to create a more neuroinclusive Fire Service.
