About Danielle
I’m Danielle Dryden, a Psychologically Informed Coach Practitioner specialising in coaching autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice and enriched by my training in Positive Psychology and advanced coaching with Barefoot Coaching, one of the UK’s leading providers. I am also working towards chartership as a Coaching Psychologist with the British Psychological Society. As an autistic ADHDer myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice, creating a safe, informed, and empowering space where neurodivergent adults can thrive personally and professionally.
Why My Approach Works
Many coaching models weren’t designed with autistic or ADHD adults in mind. That’s why they often fall flat. My approach works because it is:
-
Psychologically Informed – I integrate coaching with psychological insight, helping you understand your patterns, emotions, and behaviours at a deeper level.
-
Evidence-Based – I use strategies proven to support change and wellbeing, not quick fixes or generic advice.
-
Positive Psychology Driven – we focus not just on problems, but on building resilience, meaning, and joy in your everyday life.
-
Neurodivergent-Specialist – every tool and method I use is adapted for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, respecting sensory needs, executive functioning, and lived experience.
-
Grounded in Lived Experience – as an autistic ADHDer, I understand the reality of your challenges—and the strengths you may not yet see in yourself.
-
This combination means coaching doesn’t just help you cope—it gives you the foundation to thrive authentically.
How the Coaching Journey Works
🌱 In-Session: Foundations & Deep Work
We explore your patterns, nervous system, contradictions,and emotional landscape
🌿Between Sessions: Personalised Toolkits
You'll receive worksheets, micro-practices, scripts, and planning tailored to your brain
These help you apply what we explored in session without overwhelm
🔄 Next Session: Integration & Refinement
We review what worked, what didn't and refine tools tailored to your brain.
This creates a predictable rhythm that AuDHDers thrive with
"I had coaching sessions with Danielle after I had my ADHD diagnosis in the lead up to my autism diagnosis. She helped me to map my ADHD and autism related traits and strengths in Venn diagrams, plan how to handle certain situations, sort through my approach to managing my traits, start to process what unmasking might look like and to prepare for my autism assessment and process the diagnosis. Danielle was warm, affirming, non-pretentious, easy to talk to and quick to understand my experience and validate it. Working with Danielle helped me feel a lot less anxious and much more in control, I plan to go back to her for coaching periodically in future and I would definitely recommend working with her, particularly for those who may have both autism and ADHD or those struggling with internalised ableism or imposter syndrome (including imposter syndrome about whether you are neurodivergent)."
