Neurodivergence
Let’s talk about and welcome neurodiversity in the workplace!
Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations that exist between all human brains.
‘Neuro’ = of the brain
‘Diversity’ = different
All human brains reflect the neurodiversity in our world and the workplace is no different. With all human variations, there are common representations of brains and abilities (neurotypical) and there are less common representations of brains and abilities (neurodivergent).
To be neuro-inclusive simply means to acknowledge and welcome all natural differences that exist within and between human brains.
We believe all brains belong at work and strive to enrich the diversity of organisations to be safe and inclusive for all people.
Why should my organisation commit to neurodivergent inclusive learning?
By providing neurodivergent affirming coaching and learning solutions to neurodivergent employees and leaders, as well as their people leaders, you’re demonstrating your commitment to a neurodivergent affirming workplace where all types of brains are welcome and truly valued.
Transitioning Well’s neurodivergent affirming offerings will help guide your organisation towards best practice inclusion and diversity policies for all employees.
Neurodivergent Affirming Coaching
Who can participate in coaching?
We recommend our neurodivergent coaching for any employee or leader who self-identifies as neurodivergent, as well as leaders who support them.
This holistic approach to coaching can be a strong enabler of organisational level affirming practices.
What is neurodivergent affirming coaching?
Delivered by one of our highly skilled neurodivergent affirming coaching psychologists, our coaching comprises of three 1:1 sessions designed to meet the needs of the individual.
For neurodivergent employees
Our structured and supportive coaching provides employees the opportunity to reflect on their self-care, communicate their needs and focus on their personal strengths that will support their professional development and longevity to ultimately thrive in the workplace.
For neurodivergent leaders
Our tailored coaching offers neurodivergent leaders a private and confidential space to address their specific needs in a workplace context, and harness their strengths to best support their team – and themselves – to thrive.
For people leaders supporting neurodivergent employees
Our private and confidential coaching allows leaders to reflect on and enhance their personal understanding – and possible misunderstandings – of neurodivergence with the support of a skilled psychologist. Each session offers a safe place to ask questions, increase knowledge and tailor strategies to their team.
Neuro-inclusive Workshops and Webinars
Harnessing Neurodivergence in the Workplace
In this one-hour foundation workshop/webinar for all employees, we explore the concept of neurodivergent thinking and how organisations can embrace diversity of thought to enhance outcomes. By embracing diverse thinking, we are exposing ourselves to a wider range or perspectives and ideas, which is fundamental to driving creativity and innovation.
Leading Neurodiverse Teams

We begin by covering the foundations of neurodivergent thinking before delving into tools and resources managers can draw from to implement practical individual and team-level strategies to support their neurodivergent employees to thrive in the workplace.
Building a Neuro-inclusive Workplace
