Unlock your
Unique Potential
When your mind works differently, life can feel like a constant struggle…
... but every struggle is a story worth changing.
Transformative Support for Individuals, Groups and Organisations
At Different Keys, we provide tailored coaching and consulting for people and teams who think differently.
Whether you’re seeking ADHD coaching, LGBTQ+ life coaching, or neurodiversity training for your organisation, we take the time to understand how you function — or how your team works — so we can unlock real, lasting change.
For individuals, we offer specialist support for ADHD, AuDHD, ASD, executive functioning, personal identity, motivation, and managing change — helping you feel more in control of your life and clearer about your direction.
For groups and organisations, we offer neurodiversity awareness training, inclusive strategy development, and coaching that supports both wellbeing and productivity. If you’re building a team where diverse minds can thrive, we can help you create the conditions for success.

ADHD, AuDHD & Neurodiversity Coaching
Struggling with ADHD, AuDHD, or executive function challenges?
As a Certified ADHD Life Coach, I provide expert coaching to help you build personalised strategies for focus, time management, and emotional regulation.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit — and my neurodiversity-affirming approach supports you in improving productivity, relationships, and overall wellbeing at work, school, and home.

LGBTQ+ Coaching
Looking for a coach who truly understands LGBTQ+ life?
As a trained coach and member of the community, I offer supportive, identity-affirming coaching grounded in lived experience. I have particular experience supporting gay men through life’s transitions and challenges.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, self-esteem, relationships or career decisions, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Neurodiversity Training & Consulting
Looking to create a neuroinclusive workplace or learning environment?
I deliver neurodiversity training and consulting for organisations and educational institutions, helping teams understand the potential benefits and challenges of ADHD, autism, and other cognitive differences.
The result? Better communication, more effective systems, stronger team dynamics, and a truly inclusive culture that benefits everyone.
