Meet Your Neurodiversity Coach
Certified Mind body practitioner and Neurodiversity coach
Welcome to the world of neurodiversity, where differences are celebrated. I'm Gill Featherstone, a passionate neurodiversity coach.
I help neurodiverse adults and teens reduce overwhelm, manage the demands of life and avoid or recover from burnout.
Through neuro-affirming strategies and strength-based techniques, I guide you towards unlocking your full potential and reaching your goals, whether that be in work, school, health or living environment.
“"Working with Gill has truly been a transformative experience. From our first session, I immediately felt a sense of trust and understanding that allowed me to open up and explore areas of my life I had previously ignored or felt stuck in...My big takeaway is a feeling of greater clarity and prioritisation...I was paralysed until I started working with Gill."
- Emma
“Gill and I connected and I instantly knew she'd be able to help coach me through some difficult times...I have started to feel more comfortable being my 'natural' self and not masking so much...Honestly, brilliant...I would really recommend working with Gill.”
- Olivia
"Gill was so easy to get along with, I instantly felt connected with her and at ease. The coaching was gently guided and not forceful, with Gill thinking about what would be best for me all the way through the sessions. Gill has really helped me come to terms with my potential autism and helped me find ways to cope better..”

What is coaching?
A coach helps individuals to overcome specific challenges through in depth discussion, goal setting and accountability. It's all about identifying and achieving your specific objectives, whilst exploring and resolving personal problems or conflicts.
How is coaching different to therapy or counselling?
Coaching is different to therapy and counselling - whilst it incorporates some of the reflection and deep exploration of therapy it focuses much more on the 'here and now' and takes a strength based approach, and the power of positive psychology, to create goals and move forward. We'll also do a lot of mindset work and incorporate methods such as mindfulness, movement & sensory strategies where appropriate.
Why be coached?...
-
Would you love to understand the incredible neuroscience behind autism or ADHD and gain deeper insight into how your brain works?
-
Are you ready to communicate your needs with confidence and feel understood in school, work, and personal relationships?
-
Do you want to discover career paths that truly match your strengths, passions, and unique way of thinking?
-
Are you looking to unlock your full potential in education or the workplace by building strategies that suit your neurodiverse mind?
-
Would you like to cultivate calm, confidence, and emotional balance in everyday life, even in the face of sensory overwhelm or stress?
-
Are you excited to learn tools for navigating social situations with ease and building lasting emotional resilience?
-
Are you embracing a new chapter — like starting college, a new job, or relocating — and ready to feel supported through the change?
-
Would you benefit from a safe space to set meaningful goals and take powerful steps toward the life you truly want?
-
Are you interested in creating a lifestyle that nourishes your body and mind, from diet to daily habits?
-
Would you love to feel more joy, fun, and fulfilment in your everyday life?
These are just some of the things I've recently helped clients with and could help you with too!
How does it work?
I offer coaching through a full package of support called the Thrive Clarity Coaching programme. It offers gentle, consistent support for neurodivergent thinkers who want to move forward—without pressure or rigid routines. Through 1:1 zoom sessions, check-ins and weekly personalised guidance (all in your own private coaching space), you’ll gain the clarity and confidence to thrive, in a way that truly works for you. Just pick the frequency and length of sessions that suits you and we'll get you on board with a welcome pack and your first session booked in!

Get to know me
I'm Gill, and I live i the UK with my three children, and I'm neurodiverse.
Finding ways to support neurodiverse individuals and their families has been a central focus of my training and I am a certified Holistic Life Coach and Mind Body Practitioner as well as having a Post Graduate Certificate in Mental Health in Education. I'm currently deep in the throes of studying towards my certification in Neurodiversity Life Coaching. For the past two years I have volunteered as a coach to young people through the charity Yes Futures and I've run an education/social research consultancy service for the past 10 years.
For those requiring face-to-face sessions I am based in Reading. Note that I am happy to liaise with schools where virtual coaching needs to be delivered during school hours.
