"Before I met Gem, I was fragmented in a lot of ways. Through working with them, I've connected the dots of myself and learned to live, and enjoy, life on my own terms."

With Gem's help I've been able to take up the space I deserve - and help more people through my own work.
Katy Lees
Gem created a genuinely neuro-affirming space and offered so much warmth, insight, and authenticity that enabled people to feel safe and valued so they could join the group in ways that suited them. Gem really listens, gives space and time, and meets people where they are at. Gem is deeply committed to supporting positive Autistic identity and building spaces that honour authentic Autistic needs and ways of being so people feel better understood and connected.
Helen Edgar, Autistic Realms
Gem empowered me to welcome my neurodivergence and witchiness, celebrate my identity, and align my values with my everyday life.
Leith
Working together helped me move from struggling with my neurodivergence to feeling proud of it. I always felt seen and supported in our sessions, and I’ve learned to embrace my strengths instead of trying to fit into a neurotypical box.

I first started working with Gem just after I’ve been diagnosed as autistic at the age of 55, and the coaching has been nothing short of transformational. Gem has supported me on a journey of self discovery, as I’ve begun to live my life through an authentic autistic lens. Without Gem’s empathetic and knowledgeable understanding of the autistic experience, I would not have been able to process my diagnosis and how I perceive the world around me. Practically, Gem’s coaching has been invaluable in understanding how I approach things like disclosure, masking, intraception and social models of disability. But more importantly, Gem’s coaching has helped me to acknowledge and accept my autistic self with love and compassion. I am so immensely grateful for their work in helping me on this journey.
Dr Andy Smith
Working with Gem has been a pleasure and nothing short of transformational. I met them at a time when I had a huge mental load and a loud inner critic about so many aspects of myself. They have a gift for creating a non judgemental space. I felt truly cared about and respected and the biggest gift from our time together is that I am beginning to feel this care and respect for myself.
My work with Gem created an opening through which self compassion and awareness continues to pour through. I have become more gentle with my self judgement and connected to my intuition, learning to trust my own voice more than the incessant chatter of anxious thought loops.
So much has changed for me in the year I've worked with Gem - it has been truly transformational
Working with Gem was gentle, come-as-you-are, and affirming. In our sessions, I felt I was able to deepen into my own feelings, needs, and desires. I left feeling validated.
