Shift from managing your limitations to building the conditions you actually need to thrive — so you can do your best work without losing yourself in the process.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Navigating The Unspoken
You get the feeling there are rules in your workplace that everyone but you seems to understand. You see problems before everyone else, but your warnings go ignored.
The Shame Spiral
One missed deadline becomes evidence of everything you think is wrong with you. The self-criticism makes the next task harder, not easier.
Strategy Fatigue
You've attended the workshops on time and priority management offered by your company, you signed up for productivity newsletters, you even downloaded an app...but you can't seem to consistenly apply what you learned.
Masking Exhaustion
Social expectations at work costs more than most people understand, and down time isn't an option. Chaotic environments make it difficult to concentrate and by day's end, the tank is empty.
Communication Breakdown
Conflicting instructions, unclear or ambiguous processes and no accountability structure demand extra energy to untagle.
Initiation Paralysis
You know exactly what you need to do. Starting is the problem. The task sits there, urgent and untouched, while you do everything else.
Your brain is not the problem. The blueprint is.
You're not lazy, broken, or undisciplined. You're a capable professional with a neurodivergent brain navigating a world built for a different operating system. The friction you're feeling is real — and it's structural. Developing strategies to navigate these structures and set you up for success is what we work on together.
What Clients Say
"Just wanted you to know how meaningful your coaching sessions have been for me. I am much more content. I am giving myself credit for what I have achieved and am wary of comparing myself to others or trying to achieve more just because it's expected."
— Louise, Entrepreneur
" "Working with Kelly changed my life in ways that were both deeply personal and incredibly practical.
She helped me reconnect with parts of myself I had lost in stress, burnout, and survival mode. Because of her, I started doing things that genuinely make me happy again, including joining roller derby, which became a huge source of confidence, community, and joy in my life.
What makes Kelly exceptional is her ability to bring clarity to overwhelm. She helped me recognize when I was spiraling or getting stuck in ADHD-driven chaos, and instead of judgment, she helped me slow down, refocus, and take practical steps forward.
From setting boundaries to getting honest about what I actually needed from my career and future, she helped me approach my life with far more intention and confidence.
— Inbar, Entrepreneur
"Working with Kelly helped me to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm going to start training dogs!"
— Kristen, Author & Educator
What Coaching with Kelly Looks Like
Cotempo works with neurodivergent professionals who are burning out trying to survive in workplaces that weren't designed for them. Each engagement begins with a standalone first session — a low-pressure space to figure out whether this is the right fit. No obligation, no agenda beyond that. If it feels right for both of us, we move into a five-session package built around what matters most to you.
How to Prepare
You don't need to do anything formal. If it helps, take a few minutes before our first session to sit with these:
What's feeling stuck, heavy, or unclear right now?
What would feel different if coaching went really well?
Is there anything you'd like me to know about how you communicate or what works best for you?
No right answers. No preparation required.
The First Session
A standalone fifty-minute conversation on Google Meet.
We'll talk about what's bringing you to coaching, what you're hoping to shift or build, and whether working together makes sense. You don't need to have anything figured out before we meet — that's what the session is for.
If we both feel good about moving forward, we'll schedule the dates and times for a 5- session package at the end of our call.
5 session coaching package
5 fifty-minute sessions on Google Meet, held at a pace that works for you.
Building from what was identified in session one, we will work together to identify strategies that work for your brain.
Coaching isn't linear, and that's okay. Some sessions will feel like breakthroughs. Others will feel like slow, important work. Both matter.
Sessions are held via Google Meet. If you need accommodations to participate — captioning, a different format, or anything else — please mention it in your intake form. We'll make it work.
Ready to See If This Is a Fit?
This form takes about five minutes. There are no trick questions and no wrong answers. You will receive a reply within two business days.
Your responses are confidential. This form collects only the information needed to assess fit and confirm availability. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
+
No. Coaching and therapy are different things, and it matters that you know that going in. Therapy is a clinical service — it addresses mental health, trauma, and diagnosis. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused conversation about where you are now and where you want to go. I'm an ICF Certified Coach, not a licensed therapist, and this work is not a substitute for mental health care. If you're also working with a therapist, coaching can complement that work well — but it operates in a different lane.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to work with you?
+
No. A diagnosis can be useful context, but it's not a requirement or a prerequisite. What matters is that something isn't working — and that you want to figure out why and build something better. If you're self-identifying as neurodivergent, that's enough. If you're not sure but you recognise yourself in what's on this page, that's also enough. Come as you are.
I've tried coaching before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
+
That's worth taking seriously, and I'm glad you're asking. Most coaching that doesn't land for neurodivergent people fails for one of three reasons: the format was too rigid, the coach was working from a neurotypical framework, or the fit wasn't right. I don't use a fixed curriculum, I adapt to how you communicate and process, and our first session exists specifically to test whether this is the right fit before you commit to anything more. If it's not, I'll say so — and I'll try to point you toward something that might be.
What does the sliding scale actually mean?
+
It means your session fee is set based on your income and circumstances, not a fixed price list. When you submit your intake form, I'll ask about your financial situation. I'll confirm your rate in my follow-up before anything is booked or paid. There's no negotiation required on your end — you just answer honestly, and I'll take it from there. Payment is via Wise, and full details come once your intake is reviewed.
Do I need to download anything to meet with you?
+
Sessions are held on Google Meet. If you have a Google account, you already have access — just click the link in your calendar invitation. If you don't have one, you can join as a guest from any browser without creating an account. No downloads required. If you run into any technical difficulties before a session, send me a message and we'll sort it out before we lose time together.
What if I need to reschedule?
+
Life happens — especially when you're neurodivergent and managing an unpredictable nervous system. I ask for 24 hours' notice to reschedule when possible. If something comes up last minute, reach out via WhatsApp or email and we'll find a solution. My full cancellation and rescheduling terms are included in the coaching agreement you'll receive before our first session.
