    Community Mentoring with Jess

    Work 1:1 with Jess to explore your neurodivergence in a supportive, neuro-affirming space. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, exploring your identity, or seeking practical strategies and workplace accommodations, Jess offers personalised support shaped around your unique needs. Her approach is grounded in lived experience, evidence-based practice, and a commitment to making support accessible and affirming.

    Exploratory Mentoring supports people to:

    Understand their neuro-expression and how it impacts daily life, work, and wellbeing

    Identify strengths, access needs, and support requirements

    Develop sustainable strategies for employment, self-advocacy, relationships, and self-care

    Navigate systems that were not designed with neurodivergent people in mind

    This work is affirming, non-pathologising, and practical, grounded in both psychological practice and lived experience.

    Jess works across research, education, and business to ensure inclusion is embedded from early-stage research through to service, product or programme delivery.

    Jess leads on:

    Developing and supporting co-produced, inclusive research approaches, working closely with organisations and research teams to design ethical, accessible, and meaningful engagement with neurodivergent and disabled people.

    Advising on inclusive research design and methodology, helping teams translate inclusive principles into practical research processes.

  • Coming Soon...Exploring Your Neurodivergence Course

    This 10-week course is for adults exploring their neurodivergent identity. Each weekly session offers a safe, supportive space to unpack key themes like identity, relationships, energy, communication, and self-advocacy through a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed lens.

    You’ll explore what your neurodivergence means to you, connect with others who “get it,” and develop tools for living more authentically, on your terms. The focus is on holistic well-being. The course is open to all neurotypes and genders, including those without a formal diagnosis.

    While designed to be inclusive, we gently acknowledge that women, trans, non-binary people, and those of the global majority are often overlooked in traditional pathways and hold space for diverse experiences.

    (Maximum 16 members per group - offering an intimate space to share, connect, and discover)

    A safe space to connect, explore and ask questions.

I am Jessica Dark, a psychologist, inclusion specialist and community researcher. Drawing on both lived and professional expertise, I bring an insight-driven approach to my work, shaping services that are authentic, practical, and firmly rooted in neurodivergent experience.

With a background in organisational psychology, inclusive education, and community-led research, I work with a clear vision: to build systems that recognise, respect, and actively support neurodivergent ways of being—across all aspects of life.
