My Journey
For many years, I lived in the world of numbers.
I spent more than 25 years working in accounting, finance and business, helping organisations navigate budgets, strategy and sustainable growth. I understood the mechanics of running a successful business, but over time I realised that behind every business was a person carrying far more than financial responsibility.Today, as an Art Therapist, Holistic Counsellor and Postgraduate Researcher, I work with people, not just businesses. Much of my work supports neurodivergent adults, helping them navigate burnout, anxiety, executive functioning challenges, identity, confidence and the demands of living and working in a world that often expects everyone to think, communicate and operate the same way.
What I've come to understand is this.
Many neurodivergent business owners are incredibly creative, innovative and deeply passionate about what they do. They often see opportunities others miss, solve problems differently and bring enormous value to their communities.
Yet many are also trying to build their businesses using advice that was never designed with their brains in mind.They're told to network constantly, follow rigid routines, answer every email immediately, attend endless meetings and simply "push through" when they're overwhelmed.
That approach doesn't work for everyone.I'm passionate about creating spaces where business owners can stop trying to fit themselves into someone else's definition of success and instead build businesses that honour their strengths, values and ways of thinking.
For me, business resilience isn't just about increasing profits.
It's about creating a business that supports your wellbeing, works with your nervous system and allows you to thrive for the long term.
Because when we stop asking people to change who they are, and start helping them build businesses that work with who they are, everything changes.
That's the work I'm passionate about. And it's the reason I've created Working with Business Owners. It isn't about teaching you to become someone else.It's about helping you build a business that allows you to become more of who you already are.
