Services
What I offer.
For you
Coaching for adults
For adults who are neurodivergent.
You know what you want to get done and even how to do it, yet you still find yourself not being able to do it. You find neurodiversity shaping your confidence, and somewhere in between you may be feeling like you are getting things wrong.
Neurodivergent-friendly coaching following an executive functioning and behavioural science framework. We will find what works for you to get you to the life you want to live.
Online, weekly or fortnightly. In the UK, Access to Work may cover the cost.
How coaching works
For your organisation
Training for organisations and schools
Many neurodivergent employees never tell their manager. When support isn't there, it shows up as missed deadlines, long hours, sick days and conflict, and often gets handled as a performance issue.
Developed and led with Educational Psychologist Naledi Mokoena, our training helps managers spot when someone is struggling, know what to adjust, and feel confident having the conversation.
Awareness sessions, parent awareness for working parents, in-depth workshops for managers, and whole-staff training for schools. Online or in person.
Talk to us about training
For your family
Family support and parent coaching
For parents and carers of a neurodivergent child, whether or not your child has a diagnosis.
We look at what is happening at home, what your child needs and what is getting in the way, then build routines and responses that fit your family. We don't change the child. We change what surrounds them.
NBI Brain Profiles for you and your child, parent coaching online or in person in South Africa, and school sessions where needed.
How family support worksWhy work with us
Support that understands the whole you.
Work, home and parenting all draw on the same brain, even when you show up differently in each, or mask in some of them. Our coaching and training are built around all three.
Lived experience
Kate was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, so we know what it is like to work twice as hard just to keep up.
Executive functioning at the core
Much of what gets called lazy, disorganised or "too much" is executive functioning. We start there, with practical systems for planning, starting, remembering and regulating.
Grounded in behavioural science
Led by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, we look at the task, the setting and the expectations, not only at you.
Parents too, not only adults
We support parents of neurodivergent children as well as adults, so we understand the whole family picture, and how much of it lands on you.
We see both sides
We coach neurodivergent adults and train the organisations they work in, so we know what helps in a real workplace.
You lead
You decide what matters. We bring the structure, the tools and the follow-through.
About Kate
I spent years asking what was wrong with me.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Before that, I worked harder than everyone around me just to keep up, and didn't understand why.
That changed how I work. The question is rarely "what is wrong with me?" It is almost always "what in this environment isn't working?"

Our training partnership
Kate La Trobe x Naledi Mokoena
Clinical depth meets practical action.
Naledi: recognise, understand, assess. The clinical and developmental picture of how neurodivergence shows up, so your people know what they are actually seeing.
Kate: design, coach, sustain. The workplace strategies, adjustments and manager support that turn understanding into day-to-day change, and keep it in place.
Together, we cover the full pathway: from recognising how neurodivergence shows up at work to supporting people to do their best work without burning out.

In their words
I never felt managed or corrected, only supported and understood.
Every time I speak with Kate, I come with my wins and challenges and she puts them in the framework of my neurodiversity, offering hope and possibility.
Everyone left the awareness session feeling far more educated and knowledgeable.
I thank my lucky stars daily that Kate was a guest speaker at one of my work events for Neurodiversity in the workplace.
Since the first workshop, our organisation has totally changed the way we approach and talk to our neurodivergent young people.

Thirty minutes, online, no charge. You tell me what is going on and what you have already tried. I tell you honestly whether I can help and what that would look like.
