Passionate about translating cutting-edge psychological principles and robust assessment methodologies into real-life practice to support individuals and organisations through tailored, defensible and cost-effective solutions.
Since 2015, Jennifer has specialised in neurodiversity, conducting neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessments for adults and young people across educational and occupational settings; including Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Autism.
Beyond assessment, Jennifer is passionate about helping organisations build workplaces where neurodivergent people can thrive.

From shaping organisational strategy and recruitment practices to embedding inclusive day-to-day operations, she helps businesses move beyond awareness to meaningful, sustainable change.
“From a young age, my mummy always told me I was unique - and it wasn’t until recently that I truly understood what she meant. Given my professional background and career history in neurodiversity and psychology, I’ve developed a strong understanding of myself: how I respond to situations, how I operate day to day, and what helps me thrive. This self-awareness has taken years of personal investment to cultivate.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my first year of university after taking myself for an assessment, following years of struggling with literacy throughout school. More recently, at the age of 42, I have been diagnosed with ADHD - something I had long suspected but only recently confirmed.
As a result, I have first-hand experience of the challenges that come with navigating life with both of these neurodivergent conditions. These challenges are not only personal - in terms of learning and daily functioning - but also social, in how others perceive and respond to me.
Neurodiversity is, therefore, a subject incredibly close to my heart. I’m passionate about helping others develop a personal understanding of themselves and empowering them to use that insight to reach their full potential.”
