About Me

About me....

I'm Sarah, I'm a Neurodiversity Champion, Coach and Speaker. I live on the Devon side of the Blackdown Hills, in the SW of England. I am a naturally practical person, and bring my (20 years +) creative experience to all the work I do. Working in and researching Neurodiversity is my passion and full time job. It’s not my sideline project, I don’t have my own arts company or produce my own theatre shows on the side. When I work with organisations and clients, they are my whole focus. 

Being neurodiverse myself acts like a bridge between my clients and the neurotypical world.  I enjoy being neurodivergent and love learning how different brains function.  I love to help neurodivergent individuals and organisations create inclusive, accessible environments where everyone can thrive. 

Experience 

I started working in supporting clients with neurodivergence in 2021, working with individuals with multiple needs, putting on events to support fellow people with ASD, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourettes and OCD.  Since then I have supported hundreds of people, from short sessions at events explaining to people what amazing superpowers their neurodivergence might have and where they can find support. To relationships spanning years - guiding clients through successful funding applications, managing output and expectations, to helping people transition to new roles and overcoming their challenges. 

My work is grounded in lived experience, solidarity, and a commitment to removing barriers rather than simply accommodating difference. I believe neurodiversity is a strength, not a deficit. Through coaching, workshops, and practical support, I help individuals harness their unique ways of thinking, while building systems and environments that work with their brains, not against them.

My Values

• Neurodiversity as identity, not disorder – celebrating that 20% of us have different ways of thinking and being

• Lived experience as expertise – recognising that neurodivergent people are the experts on their own lives

• Social justice and equity – working toward systemic change, not just individual accommodation

• Compassion and practical support – meeting people where they are with kindness and realistic strategies

Why Unique Kind

The name Unique Kind, comes from two places for me. When I was training to be a Coach, we did an exercise in finding our core values, and my top 2 were Unique and Joy, so embedded in my core beliefs is that we find joy in our uniqueness!  A more historical reason is that with my dyslexia I really struggled with the word unique, to spell and pronounce, for many years. The word reminds me of my own struggles I have overcome, and how incredibly important it is that everyone can celebrate their own uniqueness.
