Hello, I'm Claire.
I’m a qualified counsellor, coach, and experienced advocate and support professional. With a background spanning mental health, health and social care, children and families, advocacy and service regulation.
I’m also neurodivergent myself and a parent within a neurodivergent family. Neuro-Nest brings those two perspectives together: professional experience alongside genuine lived understanding of how overwhelming systems can become for neurodivergent people and their families.
Professional experience. Personal understanding.
How I work.
Support that feels collaborative, clear and human. You will not be expected to perform, mask or arrive with everything neatly organised.
At your pace
No pressure to communicate, decide, or change faster than feels manageable for you.
Plain language
I explain things clearly and help translate complicated systems into practical next steps.
No judgement
Your needs, coping strategies and lived experience will be treated with respect, not as problems to correct.
