I offer neuro-affirming mentoring and coaching for autistic people to explore their identity, achieve goals, and manage transitions.

I’m Katya Johnes, a certified coach and adult-diagnosed autistic person with experience not only of mentoring and coaching autistic people, but also of researching autism-related subjects, and supporting autistic and non-autistic people in a variety of other environments. I want to see my service users grow into the best versions of themselves - and for neurodivergent people, I believe that means embracing our neurotypes. Every person's journey is different, and I do not impose a set formula for support. Instead, using a range of tools and exploratory conversations, we can make progress towards your goals and self-discovery.

Through one-to-one sessions, you will be able to explore your options, obstacles, identity, goals, and choices with conversations that bring you to greater insight. We can work on tools together that could help you, for example, understand yourself and your priorities better; or we can have less structured conversations that offer an open and safe space for you to investigate what’s going on for you and where you want to go from here.

Sessions are online, and we can talk through the format and any accommodations that make them work best for you (e.g. video-call, cameras on/off, text-only, shorter or longer sessions, etc.). Free initial consultations are available to talk about the best way forward for you.
