One-to-One Mentoring for Autistic Individuals Transitioning to University, Work, and Beyond

Moving to university or starting a new job is a big life change. It's often exciting, but it also means navigating new social rules, different environments, and a lot of unknowns. If you're autistic, these changes can feel overwhelming.


I'm here to help. I offer a personalized, one-to-one mentoring service designed to support you through this transition. My goal is to help you build the skills and confidence you need to succeed, all while working at your own pace.

How I Can Help You

My extensive experience in higher education gives me a unique understanding of the university environment, from academic expectations to social dynamics. My mentoring is all about you, and I'll use my knowledge to create a flexible plan that focuses on your unique goals and challenges.

GET IN TOUCH

For University Life:

  • Navigating Campus: I can help you get to know your university's layout, find quiet spaces, and feel comfortable in your new environment.


  • Academic Skills: We can work on time management, planning assignments, and communicating effectively with course staff and tutors.


  • Social & Independent Living: We'll cover everything from managing your schedule to building new social connections and understanding university expectations.

For the Workplace:

  • Interview Preparation: I'll help you practice interview questions and develop strategies to showcase your strengths in a way that feels natural to you.


  • Workplace Communication: Learn to navigate team meetings, understand workplace etiquette, and communicate clearly with colleagues and managers.


  • Coping Strategies: We'll develop routines and techniques to help you manage sensory sensitivities and reduce stress in a professional setting.

Beyond Graduation: Taking Your Next Step

  • The support doesn't have to end once you get your degree. I can help you with the next big steps, whether that's:


  • Finding a Job: From crafting a strong CV to searching for roles that match your strengths and interests.


  • Developing Your Career: Getting settled in your new job, understanding professional development, and planning for your future.


  • Independent Living: Moving into your own place, managing finances, and building a balanced and fulfilling life after university.

My Approach

My mentoring is built on a few key ideas:


  • It's Personal: I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on your specific needs and goals.


  • It's Empathetic: I have a deep understanding of neurodiversity. I'm here to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

  • It's Practical: I'll give you real, actionable strategies and tools you can use every day, whether you're in a lecture hall or a meeting room.
  • It's Empowering: My goal is to help you build the confidence to handle new situations on your own.
