THE SHIFT —
1:1 MENTORING
A 3-Month Neuroaffirming Mentoring
Container for ADHD & ND OTs
“I help ADHD OTs shift the shame and safely remove the mask — and make peace with the parts of life that never stay neatly folded."
Shift the Shame.
Reclaim Your Capacity.
Build a Life & Practice That Fits Your Brain.
A three-month 1:1 mentoring program for ADHD, AuDHD & dyslexic OTs who are done with burnout, masking and feeling behind — and ready to work with their brain, not against it.
How We Work Together:
The Shift Happens Framework™
Every part of this 1:1 mentoring program is grounded in my 5-step Shift Happens Framework™:
Clarify – Understand your values, identity and ADHD brain so you can stop blaming yourself and start understanding yourself.
Notice – Recognise patterns, triggers, capacity shifts and masking behaviours before they snowball into burnout.
Pause – Interrupt overwhelm with sensory and somatic strategies designed for ADHD nervous systems.
Regulate – Shift your state on purpose using neuroaffirming strategies, dopamine-friendly design and compassionate nervous system tools.
Align – Build sustainable systems, boundaries and habits that work with your ADHD brain and integrate into work, home and life.
This isn’t a one-off tool.
It’s a cycle you can return to whenever life gets messy – which it will,
because we’re human and ADHD.
You’re an OT who knows what to do for clients… but when it comes to your own life?
Your energy crashes at the worst times
Your admin, emotions or home life feel “too much”
You mask through sessions and fall apart after
You’re brilliant in the therapy chair but drowning outside it
You’re constantly trying to “fix” yourself instead of understanding your brain
You’re exhausted from being the competent one everywhere
And beneath it all?
Shame
The quiet belief that you “should be coping better.”
You’re not alone. And it’s not your fault.
Your nervous system, your wiring and the expectations of this profession collide in ways nobody taught us to manage.
This Is Where The Shift Happens.
The Shift 1:1 Mentoring Program is a 3 - month neuroaffirming, shame-reducing, capacity-building container designed specifically for ND OTs.
This is not productivity coaching.
This is not perfection.
This is not “try harder.”
This is a complete recalibration of how you understand your brain, hold your energy, regulate your nervous system, and structure your life and work.

What Your Life Looks Like After The Shift
By the end of 3 months, you will:
Shift the shame that has kept you stuck, hiding, masking or over-functioning
Understand your ADHD/ND brain through neuroscience you can actually use
Build a nervous system that can hold your life, not collapse under it
Create sensory + EF strategies that actually fit how you work and live
Set boundaries without guilt
Show up for work, family and yourself with less chaos and more capacity
Make peace with the parts of life that never stay neatly folded
Feel regulated, grounded and confident in your OT identity again
This isn’t a dopamine high.
This is sustainable, embodied change.
👤 Who It’s For
Perfect for OTs who:
Are ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexic or suspect they’re ND
Are burnt out, overwhelmed or emotionally overloaded
Feel stuck in a loop of overwork → crash → guilt → repeat
Struggle with admin, boundaries, transitions or self-regulation
Want professional support from someone who gets it
Want a program built for a neurodivergent nervous system
Want a safe place to unmask, reflect and reset
Want both personal growth and professional alignment
Not for OTs who:
Want quick fixes
Want a generic “productivity makeover”
Aren’t ready to explore shame, identity and nervous system work
✅ Why It Works
This approach works because:
It’s built on neuroscience, not hustle
It’s designed for ADHD brains (short lessons, simple tools, regulation first)
It’s grounded in sensory modulation, EF scaffolding & OT theory
It’s rooted in shame reduction, the core barrier to change
It blends coaching + OT reasoning + lived experience
It supports you in the moments where you normally fall apart
It prioritises real functional change, not perfection
You don’t learn it once — you live it.
Who I Am & Why I Built The Shift
I’m Alice — an ADHD/Dyslexic Occupational Therapist with 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent adults, psychosocial disability, complex trauma, and functional recovery. But long before I created The Shift, I was the burnt-out OT silently struggling behind the scenes — masking, over-functioning, and holding everyone else together while disconnecting from myself.
I built this program because I know the lived reality of burnout, shame spirals, emotional dysregulation, sensory overwhelm, and the constant pressure to be “the strong one.” My turning point came when I stopped fighting my neurodivergence and began working with it. Through nervous system regulation, deep reflection, and radical acceptance, I rebuilt my life, my practice, and my identity from the inside out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do I need weekly?
30 mins for the recordings and 1 hour for the weeks where we have a 1:1 - ideally every month.
Is this clinical supervision?
Clinical supervision focuses on clinical reasoning, documentation, professional standards, and practice compliance. What we do inside The Shift is different. This is mentoring centered on your regulation, identity, boundaries, burnout patterns, emotional load, and the internal experience of being a neurodivergent OT.
It’s support for you as a person, not oversight of your clinical work.
What if I’m not formally diagnosed?
No problem, this is to help you master your life and your profession, medical advise or treatment is not a part of it.
Can I do this while working full time?
Yes its been designed into bit size components and you have 3 months to complete it.
How long do I have access to the modules?
You receive lifetime access. That means the modules, worksheets, and tools are yours to revisit anytime during the program, after it ends, and even years down the track.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes - happy for payment to get split in two 1-month apart.
Ready to Shift the Shame & Rebuild Your Capacity?
Your brain is not the problem.
